The vibraphone is a relatively recent addition to the percussion family (just over 100 years old) and has the most diverse set of sonic capabilities of all the percussion keyboard instruments. As I work with students in lessons, coaching sessions, and masterclass settings, I strive to highlight a variety of extended performance techniques that exist for the vibraphone beyond simply striking a bar with a mallet, paying particular attention to muting, pitch bending, and bowing with a string bow. Despite a growing number of solo and ensemble pieces that require a performer to utilize these techniques, I often find that percussionists have little (if any) hands-on experience producing these wonderful sounds.

Chamber of Wonders

Chamber of Wonders is a magical, darkly ominous melody performed on a variety of mallets, including vibraphone, marimba, celesta, and traditional Indonesian gamelan percussion. Soft, atmospheric pads add a whimsical, otherworldly quality, while the composition’s sparse structure—with deliberate pauses—creates tension and intrigue. It serves as the perfect underscore for immersive fantasy narratives, drawing listeners into a realm of mystery and enchantment.
