How to learn VIBRATO in only 3 steps!

When should I start learning vibrato?
When you have the right position of your left hand on the violin and you can produce a good sound with your bow.
1. Start with knocking motion, like you knock on a door
- [ ] Transfer the movement to the violin
2.Translate the knocking to a sliding motion
- [ ] The finger should just slide and it will sound like harmonics
- [ ] Accelerate slightly as you progress
- [ ] As you accelareta the movement will be smaller
- [ ] The finger should be very light and relaxed on the string
3.When you “center” your movement, the fingertip should be glued to the string but the rest of the hand needs to have the same motion.
- [ ] Start practice the movement with other finger. If you experience problem with 3rd or 4th finger, just stop and continue to practice the movement with the other fingers.
- [ ] After you feel comfortable in the higher position you can go to 1st position and practice the same movement.

Thank you for this simple approach. Please send more videos

Thank you that is good exercise... Most important Isa good violin hold without using left hand to support the violin. So use shoulder rest and a good chin rest. Then left hand becomes free to glide anywhere on the fingerboard and vibrato becomes easier.

Concert violinists take the contrary position: that the Suzuki method of clamping between shoulder and chin creates too much strain and tension, which causes fatigue and poor form. Instead, they say to have as loose a hold as possible, resting the neck of the violin between the thumb pad and the 1st finger palm knuckle, using the chin rest only enough to keep the violin from slipping off the shoulder when changing hand positions. In my limited experience, this latter method leads to less strain in the upper back which in turn leads to more and better practice.

Most greatful, thank you for reminding me!

Thank you for your advice. It's not easy when you start. I will keep working at it

[@k98killer]

I'm gonna give this a shot. I'm hoping to be able to play the first dozen Wohlfahrt etudes by the end of next year, though, so vibrato will be a much lower priority than articulation.

Very useful, thank you! And your tattoo is beautiful 😊

Thank you!😀

Either you are a left-handed violinist or this is a mirror-image! However, in a way it could be a good thing and helpful for pupils to watch it this way round. The exercises were clear and helpful, thank you.

[@risingstringsacademy]

It is mirroring. I’m working on fixing it. Thank you for the comment!

Violin is so difficult!!! My bow oh my awful dreadful bow bouncing I cannot stop the bow bounce help meeeeeee

[@philnewton4844]

My teacher (s)implied that it was an emotional effect and was caught by copying and imitation rather than being taught

[@risingstringsacademy]

Very interesting. I believe that it can be learned by copying, but how is it it emotional effect?

[@rons-topic1067]

I. Love your tattoo

[@thomassicard3733]

No. Not going to work for this pianist... Watching further... MAYBE knocking with the little-finger side of the hand (like a karate chops)???? I will experiment. God help me.
