Learn Violin Vibrato (properly)

[@joybuenaflor6459]

i am a self taught beginning violinist. I play everything by ear. I have watched countless videos on vibrato and your video is the only one that made sense to me. You made it so easy to understand that it wasn't frustrating to attempt like in all the videos I previously watched. I now am working on my vibrato again and am making so much more progress. Thank you for your instruction! The video was very clear in explanation and was very helpful!!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Joy thank you so much for your kind comments. Please subscribe and share my videos with your friends. Feel free to ask questions and I might do a video on your question.

[@chitraselvaraj6065]

Joy T how do u play by ear any technique??its difficult thing fr me

[@akashicklovebpd1264]

@@chitraselvaraj6065 you can't if you care about accuracy.

[@EtherealUKMusic]

Am sorry but this tutorial needs a 'heart' button! ❤️

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you so much :)

[@dottenday]

I agree. Two hearts for Joy!

[@PiperEMcDermot]

Agreed!

[@neemaliggins9111]

Wow! This is the absolute clearest explanation I've seen! This is awesome!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you very much Neema! :)

[@avery5727]

ive been playing violin for years and my teacher never explained it this well! this helped me so much and really changed the way i think about it! thank you!

[@indikuzhiyil]

You are a good teacher. I'm a self learner. Don't know sheet music. I play only by ear. I've seen many tutorial but not so simple and easy to learn. I just started working out. Wow its working. I will share this with my friends too. Thank you very much. May God bless you abundantly.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thank you so much !

[@dianeovercash6739]

This is the best demonstration of vibrato I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@denisegardinermusic8441]

Thank you Joy Lee! This is the best I have seen so far. Caught it just in time to prevent bad habits. You are a marvellous teacher!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you so much Denise!

[@wafranz]

This is what I was looking for. This is the best explanation ever of how to learn vibrato from scratch!. I've seen other videos about vibrato, but nobody gave me a step by step explanation of how to learn vibrato properly. Nobody mentioned about the thumb off, which is very important for a beginner. You're the best, Thank you!!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Glad it was helpful Franz! Thanks as well!

[@rosefedan453]

I was mindblown when you pointed out the stretching finger I've been doing it all wrong omg thank you so much for this video x3

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thank you so much !

[@rosefedan453]

Also, I have a quick question: Should the side of my hand be touching the side of the neck, or is that a bad habit to keep for vibrato? Is it okay to touch the neck of the violin when I'm playing without doing vibrato?

[@jocrafty212]

Thank you for keep reminding everyone to take their time and do not stress their muscles. I tried learning vibrato but after 3 days I got tired of that wrist movement technique I saw somewhere here in YT. These ones is much easier.

[@cpccecil]

I stop to play violin for about 20 yearsk. Now start as total beginer. wanted to pick up the skill again since it is now more access to online tutorial compare to old days. Lucky i didnt learn much of the wrong technique of rolling fingers side by side.Thank you so much to Joy for the clear instruction.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You're most welcome Kai. Welcome back to the violin world and happy violin playing!!

[@MissFanyhelpanimals]

You are such a good teacher and explainer! I now know the basics and technique of vibrato! I am starting all over so I can get rid of my tense and bad habits in vibrato. Thank you for helping us musicians out!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thank you so much

[@Phitaq1987]

Im classical guitar player. now i learn violin... so many channel i have watched. in my opinion your explanation is the best... so practical, technical understandable. Thank you very much sorry for my bad english

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Wow, thank you so much Hendro!

[@jayhatchel7724]

Best tutorial on this I’ve watched yet. You are an amazingly teacher. Your method worked great for me! Thank you!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Oh, you are so kind Jay :) Thank you very much!

[@ronniemooney7921]

Finally someone I can understand thank you for this

[@wying1834]

This is the clearest and most helpful vibrato tutorial out there!!! I don't have consistent lessons with my teacher hence I need to be an independent learner and so I found your tutorials. 11/10 would recommend!!!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thank you so much ! Please share it with your friends

[@leticiathomas2415]

Best tutorial for vubrato for violin yet. Thank you , Joy Lee. 😊

[@banjiddle]

Joy, very good advice on vibrato. This is how I learned many years ago. I’m in need of fine tuning my old fingers. Thank you!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thanks for your kind comment ! I am glad this helps.

[@NugNux]

Thank you, Joy, for the very clear explanation, you're a good teacher

[@mikegabrieldepradamackfill8255]

Thank you so much for that amazing tutorial, I have been playing the violin for many years but always having problems with my vibrato and trinos, now I'm doing it better with the correct technique, Greetings and a big hug from Ecuador

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Greetings back to Ecuador Mike! I am really happy to hear my video was helpful :)

[@kenho8942]

I love your videos! They are really clear and easy to follow! Thank you!

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Joy, this is superb. You have explained Vibrato so well. Maestra Joy Lee.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you so much Stephanie!

[@marcoaurelio1695]

Thanks a lot for your video! Now I can finally vibrate properly with violin... "unfortunately" you're right.. all other videos aren't teaching the right way, I've tried them all and only with yours I could do it! The others try to teach you the vibrato moving your wrist o going back and forth with the finger tip from the side, but the truth is all in your arm! :D Thanks a lot, i was about to quit violin for this reason, even my teacher couldn't teach it to me properly... thanks again!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

+Marco Aurelio Thank you so much for your kind comment !! I am so glad you are now vibrating properly. If you have further questions, feel free to ask in the comments and perhaps I can make a video with your question. Best wishes. Joy

[@javierzb9468]

You are my new teacher

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Yay! Glad to hear that!

[@giabaotranphuoc]

Hi Joy Lee, I've watched too many videos about "How to vibato on violin" and finally you're the best one teacher that I know. I'm just a beginner on violin but anyway, thanks for everything you've done!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You are most welcome. I am also making a vibrato course that will go in depth.

[@giabaotranphuoc]

[@ThatCjKid11]

Yes! This video was the most helpful out of all the other vibrato videos

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you so much! That's so nice to hear :)

[@harrietterothwell8049]

Thanks so much for this vid! This is a very clear and practical video! I am relatively advanced but have got myself into to some bad vibrato habits meaning the violin shakes and my bow bounces especially at the heel of the bow. I shall be using this vid for the next few weeks - time for some back to basics! Thanks so much again! xxx

[@ahyungrocks5509]

Hi Thanks for the tutorial. This is the best explanation/exercise I have found so far. It is well broken down with a divide and conquer approach.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thank you also !

[@albertvaldez2669]

Finally, a clear vibrato tutorial. Thanks Joy!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thanks as well! :)

[@laurelanderson4475]

FOUND YOUR VIDEO INSPIRING. I SEEM TO STRUGGLE WITH VIBRATO. TRY FOR A WHILE, THEN JUST DON'T DO IT, THINKING IT WILL NEVER COME. UGH! I AM TAKING LESSONS (AM 64 YRS OLD AND GET FRUSTRATED WHICH SEEMS TO LIMIT MY PACE OF LEARNING. I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP JUST FIND THE KEY TO CATCHING THE PROPER WAY TO MEMORIZE AND PLAY... THANK FOR YOU EASING THE FEELING OF THE TIME IT TAKES. WILL KEEP ON TRYING.

[@sarcocytsi25]

Hi you really helped me in my violin journey! Thank you and God bless.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You're so welcome! So glad to hear I could be helpful :)

[@amyhanus5442]

I like how you emphasized taking time. When I first began violin, I over practiced. I was making my third finger move from high to low placement when already fatigued. I felt a tearing pain all the way to my elbow. Not fun. 3 months with special hand exercises to recover. It's so important to give muscles time to adapt!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You're not alone, many violinists including myself had to go through some injuries before learning to be patient :)

[@sopha9630]

I'm so glad I found this video in my recent violin lesson with my teacher I asked her how to do vibrato and she said move your wrist I said okay and tried and nothing but screeching came out lol so she moved my wrist while I bowed and there wasn't a difference so I tried everything and I generally lost hope for learning vibrato because it was all use your wrist... etc until I saw this video vibrato was made to be so complicated and I don't understand why they can't teach it this way, thank you so much for making this video it's much much more helpful!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you very much KawaiiPup. I'm so glad that I could be of a help. I find it fantastic that you kept searching for answers. Way to go!

[@hanliewessels7307]

I did violin for years in school. Got to Trinity college exams grade 7, if that means anything to you. Then I didn't play for 10+ years. I'm now taking it up again. I was never satisfied with my vibrato before. I don't remember someone teaching it to me. It just kind of happened.. Looking in the mirror, it seems I do extend my finger, but my vibrato is from the wrist. Your vibrato is much nicer. So I'm trying to relearn it with this method. Thank you for your great videos.

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You're most welcome Hanlie :) Happy practicing!

[@deltafour1212]

Your videos are a God send !

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Deltafour1212, You're so kind. Thank you!

[@dnilsonhernandez4170]

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you so much !

[@sunshine12041]

Joy Lee, Thank you for the awesome tutorial! I just viewed another video (before running into yours) explaining how to use wrist vibrato. :/. I am a beginner, so this definitely helped. Thank you! Look forward to learning from you. :)

[@lindaabah5736]

thanks.... you're an awesome teacher

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thanks Linda!

[@joehamorski3447]

[@paolodatu]

im loving your videos! im just starting violin and im learning a lot! thank you!

[@JoyLeeViolin]

you are most welcome

[@nimrod98]

Hi, thank you for the vibrato video! I'm a beginner, but I would like to also mention that this is the arm vibrato motion. There's also the wrist vibrato motion, and both are actually correct. But yeah bending at the knuckle is good, I'm working on that right now :)

[@JoyLeeViolin]

You are most welcome. I kind of disagree with you but that's not a problem. As long as you love making music that's what I care about. Basically, wrist vibrato has more of a wobble sound rather that a regular oscillation like a singing voice. Thank you for your comments !

[@Karen-lx2jq]

Oh! So that's how you do it!!! Some people say to rock your fingers from one side to the other or another way but this makes much more sense! I should've watched this month's ago 😞

[@JoyLeeViolin]

I am glad that this is helping !

[@rajeevmediacreationsclt2775]

Really great tutorial !

[@sunnyedits3093]

Fantastic video! In the state of learning violin, I always thought that vibrato was in the hand, but it turns out, I was wrong! Your video was extremely helpful, and I really wish to do the wide hand movements you create on the violin, so my vibrato sounds better. But as you said, patience is required, and I'm trying to practice as much as I can ;)

[@JoyLeeViolin]

thank you Lala, I am making a new vibrato course for next year

[@michaeltaylor7407]

Thanks Joy! What a wonderful video! I was wondering if the wrist wobble type of vibrato is useful in high position work?

[@JoyLeeViolin]

Thank you Michael. In high positions all techniques should be more flexible while adopting the harsh condition. Wrist vibrato can work also well in high positions as well as the arm vibrato. Happy violin playing!
