How to have the BEST Vibrato 🎵 [4 Easy Steps]

[@sabrinai]

"I struggle with many things, but not vibrato!" 😂 Best intro of 2024 for a lesson yet.

[@MAWSHASPAWS]

If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems, But struggling with vibrato ain't one There I rephrased the sentence :D

[@vivanlosmichis]

Aprendiii!!! Que emoción ,buenas técnicas 💗

[@colormepiano]

“you’re hitting your face with imaginary balls” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭

[@t.p.mckenna]

... and I thought this was a family show!!!

[@janethximenavalderramalobo8781]

Ommm

[@AdorablyAnastasia]

I hope you make more tutorial videos like this this year! You have a really unique way of explaining things that makes learning violin a bit less scary 😅 I’m gonna go practice now!

[@beethoven007]

Watched this vid a month ago and didn’t manage, now did again and got it right! I realised you need way less tension🎉

[@jademartin8521]

Showed my 10 year old daughter who plays violin..she’s still struggling, but told her to keep replaying this and practice!

[@kinziehunter]

Thanks!

[@IllonoD-nz7wk]

The slow vibrato where the notes go above and below are very useful if you want to play indian classical repertoire. That sort of sound is very intentional and common in that type of music.

[@conniemckenney]

Sometimes, when I'm doing chores, I log into Tonic, join an open studio, and just leave my phone playing while I do chores. It's like getting a free concert 🎉

[@marikothecheetah9342]

Didn't know you could do that. Cool!

[@colet7645]

brilliant

[@nkviolinstudio]

From my experience, when students learn wrist vibrato in the third position, after returning to the first position, they often wobble their wrist. I started teaching arm vibrato first, and then, once they understand that vibrato is mainly done through the finger stretch (knuckles), I guide them through these wrist exercises... btw. great video!!

[@은경정-w9t]

완전 감사합니다~

[@OliverKecske]

Thank you so much! With this video I did it in 15 minutes. You are the best

[@TheLukeas]

Thank you so much for sharing😊 I literally managed to learn vibrato in 2 days of a practice! Very helped the "string cleaning" exercise, all is about relaxing the fingers, giving a bit of tension to the strings and getting that "bouncing ball" motion.

[@TigaSekawanSejahtera]

cool

[@papaya-v1u]

우와 비브라토에 대한 마음의 부담이 줄어들었어요 ~감사해요 정말 !너무 잘 생기셧어요

Mr . Chen your way of teaching violin techniques is way beyond my ability to explain..I love you man

[@hyankevyn3232]

[@sevinamelody]

iNtErEsTiNg title you got there Ray-

[@CharlieLovesRobloxUwU]

I saw many people talking about his title I know me dum but why?😊

[@CharlieLovesRobloxUwU]

Bro lol then do u remember the old one lol

[@lilacred2223]

What's with the title? I don't get it😫

[@someoneyouneverknew]

@@lilacred2223 it used to be "how to become the best vibrator" or smt lmao

[@josephwilliams4779]

Amazing, you made learning vibrato so much easier.

[@taochengliu44]

謝謝你的教導，抖音。好聰明的方法。❤❤❤

[@Ramen_edits_778]

hi ray, i have played violin for 2 or 3 years and everyone i know wasnt as advanced as me when they where at 2-3 years your videos have helped me so much with learning violin

[@PhoenixPrincess-tl5bm]

Ten seconds in and I already subscribed. You gotta love this guy

[@WadeKing-dm2hw]

Best instructional video so far. I have neuropathy in my hands now. Getting my fingers to collapse while sliding back in forth is the hardest for me

[@eggman7527]

Oh man. I don't know why but vibrato is just the hardest thing for me. I thought I was just one of those people who simply doesn't have the gene for walking and chewing gum simultaneously. Terrible shortcoming for me, a bigtime note bender on guitar who loves laying on the lavish emoting. This was extremely helpful. Thank you!!!

[@clip_news1131]

same. Vibrato is just too hard

[@Casting_spells]

I've never been this early.... Ray, you have all my love and support ❤....thank you so much

[@parthamukherjee3014]

Beautiful technique for teaching. Marvelous 👌👌👌👌

[@carlywright6748]

Ray Chen!! Thank you! You are amazing!!

[@arielkaya2783]

Since I just got my first violin at the ripe age of 34 (after dreaming of it for the past 23 years)... I can't wait to get past the first screeches and learn vibrato with you😂

[@andromeda7063]

A very sus title but a great video! Glad I didn’t miss the premier

[@cristinafratilescu9614]

You are the best ,the enthusiasm you have will make everyone want to play better and better ❤

[@Imaastro]

Thanks for teaching me these things Ray!

[@tiffcat1100]

What a charmer, love the talent, the humour, the fab smile, the enthusiasm, the relatability. I bet some people who follow on KZbin (etc) & who had no intention of taking up violin playing have done so! 😹 ❤🎉❤

[@elizabethcrumbley2803]

I absolutely love this method! I'm a teacher as well and was looking for a good way to explain vibrato, but I couldn't find a good video to go with how I was taught. I was taught to keep the wrist loose, but slowly work into the arm vibrato with a loose wrist. I feel like this video works well with your part two on vibrato from 7 years ago. You don't really say it in this video but when you go into playing the excerpt from Thais Meditation I can see you combining the wrist and arm vibrato and that's what I was looking for!

[@PianoMaskGuy]

Watching your videos inspired me to take up the violin..... I am a week in..... I used to be a professional oboist and went to the Royal College of Music. I am loving being a violinist now. Thank you so much for inspiring me :-)

[@habakukduduk9293]

Thanks Ray! This tipps helped me a lot to develop my vibrato. Keep on going, it`s great what you are doing.

[@HanChap2]

Best tutorial I have seen!

[@baochautruong6788]

I was so struggled with vibrato technique and tried many different method but still couldn't get it until I found your vid. It works so well for me! Thank you so much! What a useful video!

[@georgegeorge8401]

Excellent job. Very good teacher. Thanks for the tips

[@Skinny_Karlos]

Thank you, Ray for this upload.I've been playing violin for years but for some reason just never cottoned on to getting my vibrato happening. This, really quite simple set of steps, which I WILL do every day, seem to be achievable for me to get a vibrato in my arsenal. Thanks again, - Mark, Australia

[@aria_trust2775]

It's one of the best ways for vibration 👌

[@InkIsOut7]

this definitely helped me a ton... my hands and forearms are stiff which made it pretty hard for me to learn without these steps but now I am able to make just a tiny but of vibrato... ITS PROGRESS :D

[@antoniopacheco873]

Thanks a lot for sharing your technique on vibrato.God bless you.

[@carletto.spitaleri]

can you make a tutorial about how to use correctly the bow? i asked many teachers but they didn't were sure because my hand is really big, and knowing you are like the best violinist and have big hands we think you would teach me the perfect technique... hope you see this :)

[@M_SC]

It takes years

[@KrispyKremers]

It doesn't take years. I learned it in a week. Best way I learned it was to put the tip of my thumb onto that middle section on my middle and ring fingers, then grab a pencil or colored pencil and do the same thing but with the pencil wedged between your thumb and fingers. Put your pinky up onto the top of the pencil. Practice this position a little then grab a bow and do the exact same thing

[@carletto.spitaleri]

@@KrispyKremers i know too how to keep in the hand the bow, but the fact is that now I'm trying to improve in some specific technique like the picchettato and to do it I may change the position a bit, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right

[@Ferv0r_]

Always my dream to become the greatest vibrator in the world. Thank you Ray for showing me the way.

[@matsiemaggy4023]

Thank you so much 🎉 I'm gonna go and practice.

[@patriciarosas5246]

I loveeeee youur channel and your energy... Here you have a new fan 🎉🤩😍🎻

Thanks Ray.

Thank you very much 👍🎉🎉🎉😊

[@bereniceriveragatolandia]

Muy útil, muchas gracias ❤

[@daniellebonnar_music]

this is so intresting and funny I played it over and over! so monavating!

[@classicfan1014]

I loved this. So clear Ray. Just what I needed to motivate me to get on with vibrato

[@itsumbiot892]

Ray! I (and many other people, i think) would be very happy, if you will do video about chords! Thanks!

[@annecooksey9426]

Great video…super helpful! 🎉

[@PreachTheGospel07]

Thanks for sharing, great job.

[@carissahernandez4101]

Thank you for posting this! This was the only video that actually got me to understand how to do a good vibrato without seizing up my hand. The toilet paper helped get that smooth wrist movement technique down

[@JoseTorres-mh8qm]

Finally! I never knew how to do wrist vibrato! Now I do!!

[@NotBoba7020]

Thanks for the tips

[@ruggledug]

Thanks for explaining this and making it fun as well!

[@IndikaNishantha-gc2oz]

Thank you ..... I gained very helpfull tips.. You are a great teacher.... I m from SL (🇱🇰 )

[@TigaSekawanSejahtera]

thank you for the video I don't know how to do vibrato but with this video I can do it

[@AmandaViolinGirl]

4 days to go and it will be exactly 5 years since I started violin. 15th January. I still can't do vibrato properly. I do have a teacher.

[@thegamerchampie8351]

It's fine I've been playing for 5 years and I still didn't learn vibrato, so I had to teach myself and I learned it decently in a couple weeks and that was last year, im really good now and it'd not as hard as ppl say, you just gotta keep doing it and you'll get it

[@thisdudoe7969]

I've been playing for 12😭 and I can sort of do it but I struggle a lot, sometimes you can't even hear it so don't worry about

[@MariaHagiwara]

That was good vibes. You made it entertaining and definitely educating. Thanks. 😃

[@jnee3873]

Wow, a new trailer: Tchaikovsky. It can also show what to do whenever handling string breaks. Also, massive recovery mid section.

[@Anjutka-K777]

Thank you!!!!🎉

[@stefanardelean6557]

Thank you very much for this Lessing!God bless you!

[@sarahyeoh0111]

Hi, thanks for this good video! I would like to ask when you do vibrato, does the valley in between the index finger and thumb, touch the neck of the violin?

[@rearaujo2995]

Amei as dicas, há anos estou na batalha por um vibrato perfeito 😂 Tkanks you ❤

[@william-michaelcostello7776]

I think the biggest mistakes teachers make is to insist that the wrist remain straight. Basically all of the joints in the hand must be movable. If you have a stiff ankle then you can‘t walk or run, a stiff wrist you can‘t vibrate. I remember Joseph Silverstein saying, the hand should feel like it has no bones. Great video.

[@NatNatNat-tc8pp]

This video was really helpful! I violin teacher was trying to show me a technique for vibrato but I couldn't seem to get it. Thank you Ray Chen!

[@valienpire]

Bro knew what he was doing with that title 😭

[@elizabethrivera1710]

What does it mean

[@valienpire]

@@elizabethrivera1710 I guess the joke kinda got ruined when he changed the title. The original title was "how to be the perfect vibrator"

[@allyxiz]

Or maybe it’s just u

[@CatchTheBuzz1]

Ray you are awesome! Thank you

[@veroniquevanderveken8526]

I’m 42. And i just started my 1st violin classes. I still struggling with sol re la mi 🤣. The vibrato will the struggle for over a few years. 🤣

Wah, i just start and i am 43...its kinda crazy? 😅😅

Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ a other one please.

[@jh.y00N]

You made it easy to understand for someone like me who doesn't play the violin. Of course, good vibrato is something that requires more personal development, but you are definitely the friendly Professor Ray when you teach!!✨👑🎻💎🌞🧑🏻‍🎓🥇

I was NOT expecting a tutorial video come up in my page,, when I just bought a violin .. what surprised me is that the tutorial is from UNCLE RAY HIMSELF !!!

[@sambriddhibaidya933]

Thank you very much It was very helpful

[@regulaschwab5017]

Thanks for the toiletpaper trick😂! Love that. I just used it with a pupil but UNDER the neck. She has very sweaty hands and hat trouble shifting along the neck and got very frustrated about it. The toilet paper solved the problem right away! 🥳🥳🎻🎻🙏🙏🙏🙏 I am confident that we will be able to move the paper ON the fingerboard soon😂. 🙏

[@astrarius]

Ty so much !!! I love how you revised your content and make it even better! I just started learning as an adult!

[@sofiarahman7441]

please keep uploading such tutorial videos💕💕

[@maramadrid5237]

More videos like this please!!!! ❤

[@annettenelson9669]

Thanks for taking time to help us Ray. I appreciate it very much. This video was very helpful. I had a teacher tell me to straighten my fingers out then cave them in. It did not help me at all as to me it feels more like rocking the fingers side to side, keeping them in the same position.

[@cackslopper5321]

My Dad was a fantastic Violinist. He never taught me violin, but he did teach me the fine art of self-depreciation humour (Although, I just wasn't very good at it). He'd have loved your sense of humour!

[@LRPhotographer]

I learned to do vibrato (the motion of it, anyway) by putting rice in a small pill bottle and holding its bottom and top between my thumb and pinky finger, then shaking it backward very loosely to learn to control the speed and amount of backward movement of my hand/wrist while also learning to loosen my wrist as I did so. I highly recommend this exercise at the beginning of every practice session until it becomes an effortless movement without having to think of all of the mechanics of it.

[@christophebony4037]

Thanks you very much for the video
