How is the music notation written for the vibraphone?

Answer 1

The music for a vibraphone is written like the music for, say, a violin. It is generally in treble clef, although some vibraphones have notes low enough for bass clef. Slurs can be done on a vibraphone by pressing the pedal down through several notes. What would be notated as a tremolo on a violin or other string instrument is a roll on a vibraphone.
