Best vibrato tutorial I’ve seen. For years I’ve been “knocking” towards the bridge and getting nowhere. I can foresee a breakthrough with your method. Many thanks, sir.
The MOST important thing which is only briefly mentioned at 3:57 is you have to remove pressure from your index finger while you vibrate, you can put a bit of pressure back when you're playing without vibrato but without this tip you will shake your violin like mad.
This is so helpful. I've watched lots of videos but this is the only one that really shows how the knocking motion looks on the violin. As a beginner I couldn't make the connection. Thanks!
I can't do this without the whole violin moving and it really tires my arm. If I move my fingers up and down instead (as in lifting them away from the fingerboard so it loosens the string and then back down very quickly) this sounds similar and is so much easier, I know it will be deadening the note then waking it up again but if you do it quickly you don't notice this, you just hear a very fast intermittent note. Is this not acceptable as vibrato? Why do we have to do it the difficult way? Thanks for your help.
Disclaimer, I'm also a beginner so there's a chance I have no idea what I'm talking about. But I think what you're describing is called a trill, and it sounds distinctly different from vibrato imo. For lack of a better phrase, vibrato is a smoother, cleaner transition while trills have a more defined beginning and end with each note
You say the ideal speed is sixteenth notes at 150 bpm. But what you play is two oscillations per beat at 150. Would this not be eighth notes, not sixteenth?
the movement of the wrist would oscillate upwards in eights notes, but there's also a downward oscillation. So if you take that into consideration, it would be sixteenths. I may do a YT short and explain further.
I started learning the violin in my 60s, taking private lessons. I am on Suzuki book 7, and still cannot get the grasp of vibrato, and I cannot figure what is wrong.
For me when I'm looking at the motion of the fingers at 1:07, that is just not possible for my hand. My fingers can't seem to make that motion. Is that the same for you?

Excellent presentation! A concise, logical, methodological approach!! Thank You so much for this! Subbed and Liked!
Thank you for your kind word and the sub!

Great tips. I like the short review at the end of your lesson too. So helpful!
So happy to help!👍
This was so helpful, thank you!
Use double sided tape under the thumb to learn how to forget the thumb and stop it gripping. Concentrate on forgetting the thumb .

Thanks so much! I'm glad that this was helpful.

Well explained.Thanks
You're so welcome
Great video.
Thank you!
Very useful!
Thank you!
great review! now the next step (for me) would be discussing how to achieve a wide vibrato vs narrow vibrato :)
My latest video on vibrato talks a bit about it, but I may do another with deeper analysis.

May I ask you some tips of how to avoid the index finger from touching the neck? I found it is a challenge for me to do a seamless vibrato🙏🏻
GREAT! Thanx! 😂
Thank you!

I may make another video addressing some of these issues.

I want to learn western classical music on violin privately from you on live video calling classes, please teach me
What kind of chin rest are you using?
It’s part of the type of violin he has
This shoulder rest was custom made for me.

dou you have a teacher?
@@JustFiddler Yes. Private. Everything went so well up until vibrato.
Yes, a teacher would be very helpful!
@@richardamoroso_violin I have had a teacher for 7 years, and still cannot grasp vibrato!

Muchas explicaciones y poca práctica
