How I Learnt to Vibrato as an Adult Beginner
This video was originally created for my Instagram followers (@peterquanmusic) to help our violin adult beginner community back in 2022. I’ve received a number of comments from you all to make a vibrato tutorial so this is a perfect opportunity to share my video on TH-cam.
As mentioned in the video I am no expert on vibrato as I am still learning and improving on it. I shared a selection of techniques and exercises I was taught and which I found helpful as an adult beginner.
I hope you will all find something useful in this video!

Vivaldi - Concerto in A Minor Practise Vlog
มุมมอง 1.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi there everyone, hope you are all well! I’m currently learning Vivaldi Concerto in A Minor (Suzuki Book 4) at my private lessons. I’ve been playing the violin for 3 years and I’m constantly challenged with new pieces. This video has been requested for me to make by my Instagram followers as there are many who are also learning this piece, and who are generally interested to see how I practise...
Adult Beginner Violinist - 3 Years Progression
มุมมอง 10K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
3 years has now passed since I took up the violin and it has honestly been one of the best things I have ever done. Learning the violin has changed my life and I’ve met the most incredible people along the way who I now call my close friends. I started off my journey using Instagram as a practise diary and as the years went on I was able to visually see my progress. I regularly still post my pr...

Introduction and Violin Vlog
มุมมอง 88010 หลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome to my channel and to my very first TH-cam vlog! In this video I give you a quick introduction to myself and take you through some of my practise routines as an adult beginner. My goal with this channel is to inspire adult beginners to pick up a new instrument (or violin in my case) and to prove that it is never too late to learn. I want to express that practising can be fun and producti...
Adult Beginner Violinist | 2 Years Progression
มุมมอง 5K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi there, my name is Peter and I’m an adult beginner violinist from London. I first embarked on my violin journey during 2018 where I was self-taught for 2 years on a very on and off basis. During this time I was able to familiarise myself with the notes on the violin finger board. As a child I had piano lessons for 9 years and studied up to grade 6 (ABRSM). This gave me a slight advantage as I...

I wasn't able to find this cover online so I made my own. Hope you enjoy this short cover! Follow me on Instagram @peterquanmusic
good for you... enjoy
Wow the 1year11months vibrato is super impressive!!!
Thank you very much! 😄🙏
Bravo!
A prodigy who is now an adult? Nah, an adult who is now a prodigy.
Such kind words, thank you very much! 😄🙏
Did anyone else notice the TwoSet Apparel he was wearing?
Very good. Now see if you can change fingers without stopping the vibrato and change bows without stopping the vibrato. After learning that, you can work on producing a wider variety of widths and speeds.
Thanks, that's definitely something I'm trying to develop!
It's really good. Only bad thing I have to say is your fingers are resting way too high from the fingerboard. They need to travel much further than necessary to play a note. Could be more efficient.
Thanks for pointing this out. I get too carried away playing I often forget 😅
Your bow technique, intonation and vibrato are amazing for someone who's only played 3 years. I'm particularly impressed by how rich and full your tone is. Well done :)!
Thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words. I'm extremely proud of myself for the commitment I've put into learning the violin. I couldn't have gotten this far without my passion and hard HARD work!
I've been learning the violin for over a year, I hope to also be as good as you in the next 2 to 3 years
You got this! 😉🎻
*PromoSM* ✌️
Incredibly impressive! I have to say your tone and vibrato are great. You seem to have great tone from the start 😊well done!
Thank you ever so much for your kind comment 😄🙏
Incredibly useful, thank you so much ! As an young adult beginner (seft taugthed for now :/), I'm having trouble with the vibrato, i'll try your tips :) A quick question though, when you were starting out and even now, do you prefer wrist, arm or finger vibrato ?
Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you found my video useful 😄 I found wrist vibrato most helpful but I try to combine all 3. All the very best with your violin journey, you got this!! 😄
@peterquanmusic Ok I see, thanks :) Thank you so much! The road looks bright when we see your progress :)
Nice tips
Thank you 🙂
Why are you playing Vivaldi Nachez and not the original Version of Vivaldi? 😀
It's the version that's in my Suzuki Book 4 which is what I'm currently learning with my teacher 🙂
@@peterquanmusic oh really😀 i dont learn with suzuki…….. my teacher gave me the original version! But your video is very good! Thank you so much! A lot of greetings from germany👋🎶😊
@@marieotto153 Thank you very much for your kind words! 😊🙏
Thank you for the useful video👍 How long did it take you to learn vibrato?
You are very welcome, glad you found it useful! Thankfully my teacher taught me vibrato very early and she guided me extremely well. It took me a good few months to get an understanding for it, but it is something I'm always improving on 🙂
Thank you for this video😊. Great tips!
You are very welcome Sonja 😄🎻
Found it. Thanks.
How long was your self taught period?
2 years but very on and off
how long have you been learning the violin for?
This October will be my 4th year 👍
How did you learn vibrato so fast?
My teacher taught me very early and very well. I'm so thankful for her as I didn't ask to learn it at all 🙏
@peterquanmusic one day can you make a video on how?
@@missdatoo9590 I actually have on my Instagram @peterquanmusic You're not the first person to ask me this. I may have to upload it to TH-cam 😝
Hi there, I have now uploaded my vibrato tutorial to my channel. I hope this helps you 😉
@@peterquanmusic thanks!
You should try playing the repetead notes (A) with a crescendo and play them spiccato with the lower part of the bow
Thanks for the tip, sounds like an interesting approach!
Surprisingly, I did very well with the Mozart piece in Suzuki 7 during today’s lesson. I thought it would be a complete mess.
Right elbow needs to be higher, right wrist needs to sink more and more BOW.
Reminds me how much I HATE Vivaldi, playing sounds fine but the music itself sounds like something AI would generate.
Wow Peter this is such an amazing practice vlog!! Your intonation is really good too!!! I could literally watch you play this piece forever. I haven’t gone back to this piece for a bit and kind of abandoned it lol but seeing you play this again is making me want to get back to it again 😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much Charnell, I'm glad you enjoyed my video! 😊 Do it, It's a fun piece and worth coming back to play! 😄🎻
The repetitive and slightly progressive changing sections are common to the baroque, especially Vivaldi and Bach. These sections sound a bit hectic, and I think that is the purpose behind them. They actually sound great. IMO.
I was able to find your vibrato video on Instagram.
Glad you found it 👍
Well done! Your intonation was pretty good overall and your posture is amazing! I think you could work on shifting and string crossings. I wish you luck with your violin journey!
Thank you very much, I will definitely be working on my shifting and string crossings!
First of all, i could watch this forever, such an entertaining video and your 'stage-presence' is soo good! You definitely belong in front of the camera and not just behind 👏 second, huge thanks for the shoutout 🤩 I'm glad it seems to be a useful tipp about the string crossings! Maybe focussing even more on the first stop might help further, even if it's the easiest crossing. But stopping there properly might make it easier for the other ones to work 🤔 Another thing my teacher never failed to tell me during practicing vivaldi spring is, that if some notes repeat, you are never allowed to make it sound the same. Mostly, the best way to do this in baroque is by repeating it much softer. You're already doing this in many passages but it might help further to actively think about it 😊 Lastly, I'm so impressed how good it sounds!! 👏 those hard passage on the last page, i could never 🤯 and you have such a fitting style for vivaldi, your playing is really great and you improved so much over the last year 👏 all in all, cant wait for the next video 😍
Thank you so much for your heart warming comment Lilly 😊 Of course, you deserve to be recognised for your amazing work! Those string crossing tips you gave me are really useful, I need to work on them more to get better. My teacher said the same to me about the repeated notes, I'm glad we're all in the same page! Again, I can't thank you enough for the support you've given me through the years, I'm really glad we met 🥹🙏
Could you please upload your vibrato video to youtube. The second Wohlfarht book is impossible.
My vibrato video has now been uploaded to my TH-cam in case you ever need to refer to it 👍
@@peterquanmusic Thank you very much!
@@Shrinksjp You are very welcome!
Well done!
Thank you Natalia 😊
Well done Peter! You're playing this piece so well already!👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you very much Becca! Appreciate you watching 😁
I am an adult learner, and currently beginning Suzuki book 7. I am much older than you. However, I have not yet gotten the hand of vibrato. I recall liking this piece. The first piece in 7 has difficult rhythm.
Great to hear you are still learning the violin! This piece is very fun but super challenging. I can't begin to imagine what the pieces in book 7 are like. All the best!
Thanks. Your tone is quite good. How long have you been on this piece?@@peterquanmusic
Thank you very much! I've been on this piece for quite some time now, since November last year I believe. I've also been practising a whole group of other pieces for my orchestra simultaneously. I personally chose not to move on from this Vivaldi piece as I wanted to perfect it with my teacher.
Great! Schindler's List has terrible string crossings. Are you able to accurately count the beats throughout the piece? That is something I struggle with.@@peterquanmusic
@@Shrinksjp Oh gosh I can imagine. Beautiful piece but a killer to play! Yes I'm getting a lot better at it. Orchestra has really helped me to understand how to keep my pulse. Especially since I'm leading second violins I HAVE to be on time!
Vibrato at year one?!? Please share tips, im at year one and a month rn too, i started with vibrato practice but tips/tricks and advice will be highly appreciated!😊
Well done you for taking on an incredible journey! 🎻 My teacher thankfully taught me early which I'm very grateful for. It's hard for me to give much advice in this comment but one thing that really helped me was developing my finger knuckle flexibility. It also really helped me to lean my violin scroll between a wall (make sure to use a cloth to protect your violin), this really helps to take the weight off.
I've now uploaded a vibrato tutorial to my channel 😉
Wow this is so impressive. I just bought a violin and got a teacher. My dream has always been to play the violin but I had this idea that it is too late. Now I just turned 30 and decided to go for my dream. This video got me so excited and you are playing many of the pieces I want to play 😍 Amazing work !!
Amazing, I'm glad you've decided to pick up the violin, it truly is an amazing journey. Honestly it is never too late to learn. I first picked up the violin when I was 26 and I'm turning 30 this year. To this day I'm still consistently playing and taking regular lessons 😄🎻
Can you please tell me the name of the song that starts at 5:26?
Salut d'Amour by Edward Elgar 🙂
Wow, your bow control is so good for 3 years!
Why thank you very much. I've worked really hard on it 😄🎻
Because bow control didn’t come to me naturally when I started learning in my 30s. It’s still a challenge for me. Let’s keep practicing 😁
impressive! How many hours a day do you practice?
1 hour a day mostly but a few times a week 😊🎻
are there any sources online that helped you? I want to go back but I played 20 years ago 😂
Hi there, I got a lot of inspiration from TH-camrs and from listening to a load of violin concertos on Spotify. I found online tutorials okay during my self-taught stage, but once I found an in person teacher I didn't use many online sources. Oh amazing, I'm always inspired by people who return to their music instruments. All the best!
3 years..sound like this..its Normal..for his age
You have given yourself a gift of music. Cherish it. You sound terrific!
How very kind of you, thank you 🙂🙏
@@peterquanmusic I trust you've found an orchestra or quartet. Making music with others is fun. Your progress is Amazing, and I'm a retired viola teacher.
@@Lepewhi Yes I have, I've been a part of an adults beginner orchestra for over a year now and I'm proudly the lead for the second violins 😄 I 100% agree, there's nothing that can beat the feeling of making music with others. I love my orchestra and I love this journey I've embarked on 😁🎻 Thank you again, that's a high compliment coming from a teacher!
This guy has soo much affinity for double stoppings!

You brave soul 🎻
good job
Thanks 🙂
Very impressive!
Thank you 🙂
What great progress you've made! You sound great! I hope you will do another video like this at some point.
Thank you very much, that's very kind of you 😊 I will have to wait until my 4th anniversary in October to make another one like this. I'm planning on filming a vlog of me learning pieces hopefully soon. Stay tuned! 😄
I WANT YOUR HELP BROTHER I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN WITHOUT ANY TEACHER AND I HAD A TEACHER FOR 1.5 YEARS .BUT NOW WITHOUT TEACHER I CANT PROGRESS WELL CAN U TELL HOW CAN I LEARN AND PLAY LIKE YOU
I would definitely recommend a teacher to progress. This has helped me dramatically and persistence is key!
L168 very well played. Happy new year. Greetings from Paris ❤
Well done 👍 great to see the huge progress in one video 🙏
Thank you, yes it was great for me to see my own progress visually!
I get my first violin tomorrow (i'm a 57 year old self learning beginner) I hope I'm even a tiny bit as good as you are in the years to come, you're wonderfully talented! 👍🏻🎻
Thank you very much for your kind words! Honestly age is but a number. I'm a part of an adults beginner orchestra and the majority of the members are as of the same age as you learning from scratch. They have all progressed wonderfully through their dedication and I just find that the most magical thing. All the very best with your journey ahead of you!
Snap ! Started at 57 and year ago. You'll love it. Frustrting as hell but stimulating.
dont ever give up on it!
Before practicing always do your scales! It does wonders for your intonation.
I find a couple of pages of Sevcik seriously loosens up the hands and improves intonation.@@user-fd5kg9sk3q
