When learning vibrato…

If you have any violin questions, ask on my latest practice video and I will answer them in the next day’s video! 🙌♥️

My orchestra teacher who struggles to describe vibrato to impatient children: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOE-

Thank you! I went to school and almost learned, I only couldn’t cause when we were learning it and when I was a demonstration, I had a broken wrist, so posture I couldn’t do

this is just a weird version of finger vibrato. wrist vibrato and arm vibrato are also valid techniques

[DaddyEevee]

My violin teacher always hated me having my wrist up against my violin like that. It's difficult to be flexible and I've been told repeatedly it's a bad habit overall to have....

I'm sorry, but as a violinist and a violist I have to say that no matter what you do-
1. Always have your fingers ready too play (and not folded like in the video)
2. Dont straighten your fingers. It makes it hard to play fast in the future.

While I have a degree in music from Sydney Conservatorium in classical guitar I picked up the violin as an adult and had lessons for some years, some years ago. At present I'm without a teacher and were it not for these fantastic YouTube videos like yours I'd be lost on how to correctly effect a vibrato on the violin. Nothing, NOTHING prepares you for violin vibrato. By that, I mean that, unlike other skills which are the more difficult aspect of something learned before, vibrato is all there, all alone out on the shelf on its own with nothing preceding it. If it weren't so dang important to one's overall sound coming together and improving I'd forego it but it IS that important to making one sound more professional and musical. So, thank you for your time and effort in making the videos that are helping me and my vibrato !!

For those of you who aren't violinists, this is a much more rare and less useful form of vibrato known as "finger vibrato." The easier, and more common variation, is arm vibrato, in which the player moves their arm back and forth for a tighter and much more agile form of vibrato.

Thank you Mr Mustapha and Casablanca moroco.

As a left handed person I thought I could never be able to play violin. But it's my first month at playing violin and it took me only one week to learn vibrato

[missmusic]

I'm a violin teacher and I can see that this particular technique works for you, however I would never teach my students in this way. The extension of the wrist could injure a student, which is something I would not be willing to risk. The wrist should be relaxed and straight as much as possible. Wrist and finger vibrato is valid, for sure. For me personally, I am very much on the arm vibrato train as I find it keeps the hand's position and shape more consistent which allows for greater dexterity, speed and more accurate intonation. Nothing wrong with having a personal technique that works for you, but perhaps not the safest technique to teach a beginner who may injure themselves with the pressure this places on the tendons and wrist.

So I've been a violinist for 12 to 13 years now. Here are just some things that I noticed.

1. There are two main ways I've seen people do vibrato one that starts from the elbow and one that starts from the wrist with the elbow your wrist stays flat which is how it's normally is while you're playing and from the wrist your hand is the one that moves back and forth either way you should not be flattening your finger think of it almost like a mini shift but instead of that you were shifting from one side of your finger to the other.

2. I saw another comment bring this up but your fingers were folded behind the neck of your violin which while playing is a huge no because you need your fingers at the ready to be playing depending on the peas depending on how fast regardless it's just easier if you keep your fingers there.

3. By gluing your wrist to the violin you restrict your vibrato to just that one area where your wrist can reach you have to be able to do vibrato all across the violin and so whether you use elbow or wrist vibrato will vary greatly depending on what note you're playing like if you're playing one of the ear bleed notes so like 6th position on the e string that kind of note you're going to be basically from your elbow but very little movement but if you're playing a note in like first position you can sort of do whatever you want of that if you're in third position or it's like an accent note maybe you'll be doing it from the wrist.

4. Maybe other people don't have this problem but I know that for me if I straighten out my finger it will just get locked so straightening out your finger while doing vibrato especially when you have to go very quickly for vibrato is not a realistic thing to do just because you will lock your finger and then no vibrato just flat finger up and down the string

omg i learned this in 1 day
ty soo much
😊

[FluwxssOfficial_チャンネル]

It sounds like my neighbours are drilling a hole in their wall 😂

[doubleaasiannns]

This helped in some way thank you very much

[Tinymr.crispey]

Mng thanks, I'll try it out on my violin ❤

[Aesthetic_Me]

This helped me so much with my violin TYSM!!

[lostpoem]

Nice for wrist vibrato - i think it's good to master both wrist and arm

[Echo_Batt]

Lol my violin teacher just put the tip on my violin against the wall, told me to wiggle it whilst not changing note or position and I eventually just got it. If u r a beginner, please don't curl up your fingers, it makes it so difficult to play the next notes.

[ace-paidinfull]

Before the end, that sounded like a nee naw, i was like did somebody call the cops🤷🏽‍♂️🤭
No seriously, i aspire to learn this beautiful sounding instrument, im gona get there.

Couple basic questions. 1. How much does it cost for starters? 2. Is it only good to learn if you intend on playing somewhere, or is it ok just for a hobby? 3. Oh and would you have to buy your own?
