Great video! For those of you in a hurry - my (very awesome) violin teacher used to say that it’s best for instructors not to push vibrato before the student is ready because the result is often an ugly, unnatural-sounding vibrato. In the meantime, he showed me some slo-mo, “drunken sounding” exercises using each string and each finger by turn to help with muscle memory and staying relaxed. He said it’s more efficient to acquire a beautiful vibrato at one’s own pace than it is to struggle even longer at unlearning a bad one down the line.

[@SHARMONY]

^^this!

[@dazaiosamunyaa1869]

You're Lucky, I am a very stressed person and it's obvious in my playing. I have been playing for quite a while now, as a hobby, but I can play some more difficult pieces already but I can't do vibrato because I am tense, I try to let loose but am failing all the time and my teacher won't give me any tips saying it's not important but my slow pieces are always plain, the sound is clear but they're kinda boring if yk what I mean. So whenever I play slow pieces with friends I feel completely disappointed, what's the point in playing the right notes at the right time and having a clear sound if there is nothing more to it

[@abbydash]

1. Start with first or second finger on G string 2. Make sure everything’s loose but with a slight pressure 3. The first way, imagine a train pushing your hand. 4. The second one a string is pulling back. It’s pulling towards you. Your finger will be crunched together 5. Go back and fourth between pulling and pushing. 6. Practice without the bow first! Then add the bow. 7. Use a metronome at 60 beats. One motion per beat 8. Start slow and be patient 9. Keep knuckles and joints very loose. 10. For extra help place scroll against the wall and practice your vibrato movements.

[@spicyaznsauce3139]

I've been playing the violin on and off for the past 5 years, but I just started to gain the desire of learning vibrato seriously. The fact that you mentioned keeping the fingers, arm, and shoulder loose really made the progress easier as I do get tense when I play. I will definitely apply all of these and hope I can get a decent vibrato in a few months!

[@SHARMONY]

It’s really easy to get so focused on other things that you forget to keep loose! Sometimes I’ll be in the middle of something then be like whoa, how long have I been clenching my jaw like this?!

Update: I quit but I'm finally deciding to try again. lol Update: I forgot to update but I finally learned vibrato! At first I was confused because I there were a lot of different methods that people were teaching.

I'm glad I was finally able to learn some vibrato today. I always thought it was in the fingers, but I get it now. It's definitely not just the fingers!

Thank you. Of all the vibrato tutorials that i watched, i think yours is the clearest and most helpful to me who thought that vibrato is beyond my reach. With your explanation of the push and pull motion on the wrist, i got a better understanding of how vibrato is done. I need a lot and lots of practice to get a decent sound but at least my left hand knows how it should move to produce the sound. Now, i only need my right hand to cooperate and not freeze when my brain commands the left hand to shift directions.

Gioacchino Lopez I’m sorry your teacher said that! that’s misleading! Vibrato does not come “naturally” to any of us. Even the ones who get it faster than others. It is a very difficult skill for most and I’m seeing more and more that it is a very neglected skill. It seems like most of us are left to figure it out on our own. I mean, are we left to let spiccato and ricochet “come naturally?” Vibrato is one of the difficult skills on the violin and needs thorough and correct instruction and guidance. There are actually 8 vibrato activating switches that leave all other vibrato advice in the dust and makes vibrato a tangible skill for everyone.
