Here is a simple 12 bar “Two-Voice Etude” from “Pedaling and Dampening Applications for the Vibraphone” by Ed Saindon. On a piece like this it’s good to explore as many different ways to apply dampening techniques as possible. For instance, in the first reading I’m using Two-Hand Dampening Techniques and on the second reading I mixed it up with different One-Hand and Two-Hand Dampening Techniques. One-Hand Dampening Techniques help to minimize the motion and free one of the hands.
