Same. and it's so saddening how my violin teacher taught me for 3 years now and she never mentioned vibrato before. Probably because even after 3 years I struggle to read notes.
Hahahaha I remember about two days ago when I started, I wondered why nothing happened haha I had to Google it then I learned about the rosin :D It's funny when we think it's sort of simple to play an instrument. I recall about a year ago I didn't even know what a "Capo" was (^_^) even though I wanted to play the guitar since I was a little kid haha
TOP 100 Classical music ahhh yes I remember my first time, about 3 yrs ago we had just started plucking and I was curious so I used the bow (without shoulder rest because I didn't know about that either) it didn't work so when we finally got the bows wich was about a week later I finally learned op
it took me forever to figure out how to make noise. i thought i was the only one who struggled with this, because nobody else in my class had the same issue. i was pressing the strings too lightly, and had been playing silently for a month.
This actually finally helped. Visually seeing how to do it helps a lot while other people don’t really tell you any techniques or better exercises on how to develop a vibrato when you first learn
Yah... She looks and sounds like she's about to cry..... I think it's her cheeks... they're rather flushed, don't you think? And her nose is quite pink too... Hope she's ok xD
you should put on your shoulder rest where it feels like it naturally is resting on your shoulder grabbing it with your shoulder and chin without raising your shoulder, relax your arm let go and you should only be holding the violin without your arm now move your wrist side to side like your try to rock your finger without sliding and lightly touch the string now play and try to increasingly get faster
@@g.s.7218 try THIS. It was a big success for me. Take a break from the howling squawking sounds and the wrist cramps. I cooked some spicy savory tomato soup. It tastes unbelievably great plus it warmed me up. Round 3 of lockdown for Chinese cooties.
@@g.s.7218 I forgot I made this comment lol, and my vibrato has gotten very good actually. It’ll sound so bad at the beginning though, so keep working on it. It took me about a year to sound like actual vibrato
Excellent! Finally I learned how to vibrate the 4th finger. I have no trouble with the other fingers -- they produce a smooth and even vibrato -- but no one has ever taken the trouble to explain why my 4th finger vibrato always sounded so forced and contrived (and unpleasant). No wonder! I had been trying to do a wrist vibrato. Finger vibrato is the answer for this 4th finger. Thank you ever so much, Julie Artz Becker. Now that I'm 62 I'm finally ready to stop avoiding 4th-finger vibratos (I had been shifting all around the fingerboard in order to avoid this whenever possible.)
learning how to play the violin makes me frustrated. seeing this video makes me more frsustraded. why the freak cant they position the camera behind where he would see her fingers moving. i dont even know in which way she os moving her fingers.
+Erin Dsouza Learning violin is so difficult but really rewarding when you start to make progress. I started violin as an adult, at 23, and have been playing 3 years; I still feel crappy though. but I suggest going back to some old sheet music and exercises that you did a while back and see how easy it has become! :) Muscle memory is a huge thing for violin so it just takes time.
kenneth grubbs it's not easy for other people. It doesn't matter how old you are, it can either be difficult or easy. I have played a few songs. And I'm gettinf a little better. I can make it but it's very difficult
The best lesson on vibrato I have herd yet. After watching this I pulled out my violin and followed her steps. It makes it much easier to train my fingers now.
I can't help but move the violin all over the place when I do it. Theres no way I can steady the violin just by sandwiching it between my neck and shoulder. I'm trying to do it gently but it just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
+ItsMeCharleyoxo I know what you mean. I keep doing the same thing but this lesson has demonstrated a slightly different way of doing it then I have previously learned. Hopefully, I will have a better vibrato. Blessings for your vibrato as well!
.... BAM. Exactly what I was noticing. She didn't even explain what type of vibrato we were learning, and vibrato doesn't come from the finger. Vibrato comes from the motion of either the wrist or arm, the finger simply follows in their motion eventually leading to said vibrato.
Thank you so much this helped me on my trail to learning vibrato at the end of 7th grade now in the middle of 8th and advanced orchestra able to do great vibrato. I've even done vibrato with a cast on my friends thought I was crazy and now I'm trying to teach my friends the same method they try to rush too much though I'll get them to learn it
I have seen so many videos on how to vibrato that didn’t help at all, I have been playing for years but never properly learned. This video has been the first to really help, thank you!!
Great technique. I hope to learn how to do vibrato too. Thanks for teaching. The violin is an awesome instrument. All good gift comes from the Father of lights, Who also gave us His Son. James 1:17, John 3:16.
This exercise, as shown, doesn't lead to the "normal speed vibrato" as demonstrated at 2:25. In the slow version, an "arm vibrato" is being shown, where the wrist is locked and the whole arm is moving back and forth, pivoting from the shoulder. However, in the "normal vibrato," she is using a wrist(hand) vibrato where the arm is still, but the hand moves back and forth from the wrist. If you want that sort of vibrato, you have to practice the "wrist" vibrato slowly, and gradually speed it up. If you want an arm vibrato, then you would do the exercise almost like it is being demonstrated here. I say "almost," because typically an "arm" vibrato pivots from the elbow, not the shoulder. Personally, I would recommend using your forearm(pivoting from the elbow), rather than using the entire arm(pivoting from the shoulder). This is a classic example of a confusion of the mechanics, which can lead to a confused student. Whenever speeding something up, you want to do a slow motion version of the faster motion, as exactly as possible.
I looked at some other things to teach vibrato and they didn't help very much. This video actually helped me figure out how it's done though, so thank you for putting this up! (I can impress my parents now)
Thank you so much I'm practicing everyday I see a lot of videos how to make vibration just doesn't work but I think this is the most beautiful technique I will try it
I looking for many videos about how to do vibrato and mostly have different method sometime easy but sometime not aplicable on different finger position and this video is the best among others..thank you for sharing..Good Job!
i dont know why this william comment like that but, i have seen your video and you are great. but william, this video help me to do vibrato even that just a little bit. i can say that this video can help dummies even that she worst at teaching.
My instructor is teaching me this on my lesson today. I’m not getting it and my hand is now killing me ! Need to keep practicing. Looks easier than it is
Aha! Explaining that the finger moves away and backwards makes sense. The complete opposite to how it's done on a guitar. No wonder I was struggling a bit. I've just started to do it a bit but I can't wait to try what you show here.
Wow! Thank you very much! this video was extremely helpful to me in order to learn vibrato. I actually play the viola but I'm just assuming that the vibrato is essentially the same idea.
I used to spend hours as a kid practicing vibrato this way per my teachers request. Nowadays i just vibrate the whole hand, not necessarily stemming from the finger, but hey, same results and it's gotten me into a few orchestras(:
+Alex I have the soem trouble. I guess is just a matter of training and time like anything else, but my brain is not cooperating. Have you already solved this problem since you left this message?
Dont try this guys! The video ist not helpdul at all.. She shows arm vibrato slowly and then does wrist vibrato quickly but claims it to be also wrist vibrato in the slow Part
Thanks for the great video. I am new to violin so I have a question. Does the finger fully press the string down on the fingerboard as it's moving back and forth?
Is it weird that I can do this and I've only been practicing it for less than a month for my first year of learning the violin. I'm not trying to brag, but I've heard that even people who've been in honour orchestra can't do it..

There's no better feeling then when someone who never has played the violin before.. finally.... gets noise :)

Same it's like how do you move your finger and not the violin??

I have tried to do vibrato all my life and nothing has worked. This method that she is teaching seems to be the only one that well work for me.
***** , sure, thanks.
Check out the video “How to do vibrato like a pro”
Agreed! Too many impatient violinists here.
I’ve been playing violin for five years and our teacher hasn’t even tried to teach us how to do vibrato
did it work for you?
I searched up “how to do the finger thingy on violin”
Seer!!!
Yeshh
Hhahaha
😂😂😂 really? I’m a violinist
Sha-Sha Win American-Horse sameee lmao
i wish she showed it at a different angle

i cant do it without my violin wobbling!
There are 4 easy steps to do vibrato.My students learn vibrato in 2-3 lessons:)))
You need a shoulder rest
You don’t need a shoulder rest as long as you can balance the violin properly
Practice~
Cookiefishking you need a shoulder rest for posture
i almost broke my finger trying to do the arrow thingy
Excuse me. Nani the f-

Gurllll....SAME
Me too
The best lesson on vibrato I have herd yet. After watching this I pulled out my violin and followed her steps. It makes it much easier to train my fingers now.
After months of practice, I finally was able to vibrato today.
So happy for you 👏🏻 😊
Please tell me this is an exaggeration
@@sickraptor7003 no, it really does take months to learn correctly

I know the feels omg like I'm shaking the thing all over😂
mossy1 You need to roll your finger, not "shake" it back and fourth
+ItsMeCharleyoxo
I know what you mean. I keep doing the same thing but this lesson has demonstrated a slightly different way of doing it then I have previously learned. Hopefully, I will have a better vibrato.
Blessings for your vibrato as well!
You can't let any other part of your hand touch the violin except the finger and your thumb
Ryan Lee I think it has something to do with me finding it extremely hard to hold the violin purely with my chin and shoulder.
In the introductory exercises, you're moving from your elbow, not the wrist joint. In the up to speed demonstration, you're moving from the wrist.
.... BAM. Exactly what I was noticing. She didn't even explain what type of vibrato we were learning, and vibrato doesn't come from the finger. Vibrato comes from the motion of either the wrist or arm, the finger simply follows in their motion eventually leading to said vibrato.

You are very good at teaching vibrato. Thank you for your expertise!!!!
I appreciate vibrato is so much easier on cello. Not having to hold up your instrument is such a plus.
You approach is helping me

This is perfect! I finally got my vibrato! I'm so happy!
As a person who can actually do it, I can say that she could’ve explained it a lot quicker
Explain it to me pls
Explain it to us please
Explain it to us please
Some people learn better slowly

Listens to video: I'm so done with this
Thank you, this is an excellent video, among the best I have seen. Many of my students have benefited from it.
Third year playing intermediate violin and every time I try doing vibrato I shake not only my fingers but my bow too😂
Thanks, this video has taught me vibrato in way less time than being taught by a teacher in front of you would
My teacher called it "Vibrato Sirens"
It really did sound like a siren ._.
I used to spend hours as a kid practicing vibrato this way per my teachers request. Nowadays i just vibrate the whole hand, not necessarily stemming from the finger, but hey, same results and it's gotten me into a few orchestras(:
mine sounds like a ✨crying whale✨
Thanks! This seemed very helpful, I will try to do this as soon as I can :) You got a sub!
THANK YOU! Now my classmates will think I'm good at violin😏
This helps a little, when i first tried vibrato it was like my hand was having a seizure on the violin. i was just shaking my violin 😂
She sounds like shes having a breakdown

I played guitar for 7 years and recently got my violin. I use a pinching motion and bend the string much like you would a guitar.

Dont try this guys! The video ist not helpdul at all..
She shows arm vibrato slowly and then does wrist vibrato quickly but claims it to be also wrist vibrato in the slow Part
im getting there ! this is so much fun ! I think violin and cello,and bass are the beast instrment !
My god that violin is loud lol
tysm I'm only starting this now lol and this was uploaded 10 years ago
i’ve been at this for almost a year i’m just gonna quit the violin
It's sad. Im sorry
Best explanation I've seen.
oooooh so hard i need alot of practice 😓
Me : iam gonna master vibrato
My pinkie finger: iam gonna ruin this man's career
If u just bought ur first violin.. Do not watch this lol
thank you!! this helped me a lot!!
I still need help I can't move my hand I can just move the violin
Thanks for the great video. I am new to violin so I have a question. Does the finger fully press the string down on the fingerboard as it's moving back and forth?
Is it weird that I can do this and I've only been practicing it for less than a month for my first year of learning the violin. I'm not trying to brag, but I've heard that even people who've been in honour orchestra can't do it..
no

too hard for this technic😢😢
