Viola: Vibrato

[@mediocre_sandwich2113]

I’ve been playing the viola for four years now and still dont know how to do vibrato- thank the gods for this vid 💀

[@cheesecake6981]

Same! Did you learn it yet?

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

Can relate :/

[@artnation1235]

Oh dude don't worry about it, I've been playing for 5 years and my vibrato is all wrong💀

[@rosemary.777]

Same. It makes me so frustrated. Everyone else my age (im 15) is better than me and I’ve been playing since I was 11. I feel like quitting, I love playing the viola but for some reason I just cannot play as great

[@E_FoxSnowspirit]

@@rosemary.777 It can hurt to love something and not be good at it but you should realize it’s okay… Being able to enjoy something is honestly a gift that gets so easily lost in the face of success and talent. I bet you could make great progress if you put in the time and had the resources- just don’t underestimate the value of the joy you get from it

[@Dansback21]

The weirdest thing is that no one taught me vibrato, I learned in a dream and woke up and knew how to do it.

WHAT.

I love the sound of the viola, and although I don't play it, this was useful information for me as a producer/composer.

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

I was taught arm vibrato but wrist vibrato seems so much more natural! Great vid :)

[@peterjmaida2057]

Good vibrato tutorial. Very helpful. I also liked the way you sang it too

[@hfm1368]

This helped me so much! Thank you for the lovely video. Your tone and softness was also very comforting ☺ have a lovely day! 🌷

[@ricardoortiz1746]

Viola is the best!!! Anyway, I trying to learn vibrato, but I played electric guitar by a long time, and developed a hard grip and can’t relax my thumb.

[@richardgodlove9662]

I'm 65 and just learning the viola. My problem is "splitting my brain" to do 2 things at once. I can bow, or, I can rock my fingers. When I try to both at the same time nothing works.

[@davidcrosier2761]

Kudos to you for taking up the instrument. I'm sure you will improve dramatically if you practice well and regularly.. I hope you also have a good teacher, an instrument that you love and a bow that feels comfortable to you. Then just stay relaxed and focused and everything will be fine 😊

[@owenweingartner5863]

Ik it's been 4 months but the trick is dedication and consistency. Keep doing one, then the other, and then at least try them both at the same time and see what happens. Watch videos of people doing it correctly and listen for what it should sound like, your brain will do a lot of work in the subconscious and it'll come naturally over time

[@theyluvvkatiee]

Theres tons of good exercises for this, but a good one is starting with pizzicato. dont start with the both while doing exercises. practice doing the d major scale while plucking each note. once you get the hang of it you can eventually move on to the bow, which then you can do basic notes while trying to remember to move your bow up and down as your doing your fingerings.

[@emphryio]

I have never heard this before about starting at pitch and then only going below pitch and back to pitch. I had always thought you oscillated an equal distance above and below the target pitch.

[@spinx2273]

I just got my first viola a couple of weeks ago - and am loving it - but trust me when I say that viola vibrato feels almost IDENTICAL to nylon string classical guitar vibrato! I have been playing guitar for about 23 years, classical guitar for the last 17 years. I have also played violin more off than on for the last 17 years or so... So maybe 6 true years worth in reality. ... My point in saying all that is to give credence to my claim that violin vibrato is very different from viola or classical guitar vibrato, but viola and classical guitar are basically twinsies!

[@koky1024]

Hola, me encantó cuando al presentar la afinación con metrónomo 60 lo cantaste, naturalmente perfecto. Soy un viejo profe de violín. Estoy por jubilarme y no se qué haré, por lo pronto felicitaciones por tu trabajo! k.anton.Arg.

[@TragoudistrosMPH]

Wow... starting slow... that's a great tip! Thanks! I assumed it had to be fast to work, and thus thought i was doomed until I replaced my old instructor.

Coming from playing guitar for 14 years, vibrato on a violin type instrument is basically impossible for me. So weird. It's not even remotely similar of a hand movement

[@Atezian]

After 2 months I can confirm it is possible. Wrist vibrato is doable with practise

[@Altoclef65]

Hi, Jessica!

[@jytte47]

I see that you have a very high sholderrest. What is the name of this ?

[@saberanouar]

❤❤❤❤

[@No-wy1lz]

I think I’ve been watching too much twoset lately

[@irwansutanto5202]

what? twoset Viola?

[@LuckyShot_]

viola gang

[@ellieiguess]

Lol purple gang 😂

[@simontwinz]

You should be practicin for 40 hours instead of watchin twoset! Go practice 😂

[@GeorgeBletchly]

Interesting. Why can't you vibrato by moving the string sideways, like on an electric guitar? This sharpens the note, of course, but I thought that was the idea,

[@Keoshii_]

I think it would be difficult

[@dimm__]

i believe its considered a bit barbaric

[@Atezian]

Because there is no frets on a viola

[@Geoplanetjane]

And the sharp sound of the higher pitch would sound horrible on a stringed instrument

[@GeorgeBletchly]

@@Geoplanetjane Really? I defer to your no doubt better judgement.

[@Chloe_12178]

Someone tell me why this is the only viola vibrato video when I search viola BUT THERE IS SNY VIOLINS LIKE WRONG INSTRUMENT

[@mohanasaayi1062]

Why are viola videos being recommended to me 😂😅

[@Nebulite.]

The thing is, I know how to do it, I just dont know how to move my fingers fast 😭.

[@Geosbudy]

Physics everywhere... this is a very different video, I understand the language. The others talk of notes, Dmajor G ...

[@koenvasquez6897]

Bruh I can’t do it

[@thefisherking78]

How's that going now

[@koenvasquez6897]

@@thefisherking78 I’m on my 5th year of playing and I can now do it
