Amazing help.
Thanks, in the name of all beginners 😁
Glad you liked it!
Your approach is very simple to understand. I recently started cello lessons, and vibrato is something I want to figure out. Your video is the ONLY one I have found on youtube with someone showing vibrato, actually playing, while demonstrating the techniques. I have seen videos with a lot more likes, but they never show vibrato in action while playing, they simply demonstrate. Your video should have a lot more likes, as it is an actual demonstration of how it sounds using the techniques. Thank you for showing this. I hope I can master this soon.
I’m a 52 year old beginner and very impatient. I’m going to take your lead! Thanks for the video!

This is fantastic, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
Thank you! I will try out your suggestions.
Keep us posted!
Much appreciate your clarity and common-sensical, adaptively oriented suggestions and admonitions. One item I have never seen addressed in the myriad vibrato (and other) cello tutorials I've seen is the issue of "securing" the cello while vibrato-ing -- it seems to me that there needs to be some pressure from the knees on the cello so the force of the fingers on the string and fingerboard effectively are directed there and not transferred into motion of the cello body. Yes? Thanks!
Your inquiry is very interesting, and I am sure Prof. Mendoes will be more than happy to make a video for you. Please, post it on his dedicated page below, otherwise he'll never know about it (he doesn't read comments here):

Thanks!
Did you get the answer? I have the same issue
I really like how pedagogical you are. Do you also spend time on instruments other than the cello?
Glad you liked it! Please, post questions or comments to Joseph on this video's dedicated page on VSM, he doens't answer questions here on TH-cam: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/joseph/cello-vibrato/
thank you I am a beginner like your self I want to vibrato so badly I will try this today
Wonderful!
I'm trying to buy a cello to begin to learn how to play, I had been seen some in ebay, the majority are chip, no exceed the 200 dlrs, but I'm not pretty sure if they are good at least to begin and which one I should choose? Can you help me? Please, I'll really appreciatte
Thank you very much. But from where comes thel aktiv movement? From the arm? What is moving exactly?
Thank you for the help and lesson. Why is my 1st position pointer finger B, E, A, D so hard to vibrato? Is it a wrist trick or should I just let the thumb off? Finding it hard to wiggle unlike in 4th position. Many thanks again.
Glad the video helped. Unfortunately Prof. Mendoes has left the VSM team, but we'll have a new cello expert soon. I hope he'll be able to help on that!
Found it very helpful, thank you! I'll keep trying.... What is the piece at the beggining of your videos?
+Creepyfried Thank you for your input on this video - You can also direct your questions or comments to our expert with the link in the description - Please feel free to check out the other videos that we have posted! Best of luck!
Lol he didn’t even answer what song it was
This is the Prelude to Bach's Suite No. 5 in C minor, Benita
I'm just learning so correct me if I'm wrong.
The science behind vibrato is a rapid action of the finger tip resulting in a semi-rapid albeit minute shortening and lengthening of the string being played which causes the actual pitch of the string to oscillate, creating the effect.
The actual finger tip remains fixed on the string while the flesh beneath the skin of the finger tip (between the finger print and the finger bone) rolls back and forth or forward and backward depending on the angle of the finger relative to the fingerboard. It is this rolling of the flesh between the skin of the fingertip and the finger bone itself which moves the point of string compression back and forth thus shortening and lengthening the string. It is not an actual sliding of the finger on the string. This is my understanding. Is this correct?
Yes, thats' correct. You got it right!
I have frozen joints and tend not to be able to create the vibrato. There is nothing that will loosen them up. They've had surgery on them. Any suggestions? Shoulder and elbow problems too. I will not quit!😊 Tried violin but couldn't bend my arm or fingers. Still play guitar and piano. Any suggestions? Thanks! Play for church.
wow. finger vibrato. really. it's the arm that creates the movement. balance weight is then distributed.
Any exercises for a beginning Cellist, I am 73yo.
What is the piece being played at the very end of the video? Absolutely beautiful.

I couldn't submit the question at virtualsheetmusic.com/ without logging in and giving my email address. I didn't want to do all that. But I still appreciate the music. I see that someone else asked the same question. Too bad we can't just get the answer here. At any rate, keep up the good work.
If you're still looking, it's the Bach suite no.5 prelude
Lemon Pie Yes, I was still looking. Thank you so, so much. I will promptly download this from Amazon onto my mp3 player.
Hi, could you mention what the wrist may be doing.....
Please, post your questions to Prof. Mendoes on this video's dedicated page below:

Prof. Mendoes won't answer questions here on TH-cam. Sorry...
I have a question if you started the cello in fifth grade would it be possible to become a soloist
Some Dude of course
Lol I’m teaching myself vibrato my private instructor refused to teach me and I’m in sixth grade
Dear Joseph, please, is it possible to include a Portuguese or Spanish legend in order to understand the lessons and tips you give? Or, even an English legend, it will help a lot.
Thank you!
Unfortunately at the moment that's not possible. We hope to be able to add different languages in the future!
Virtual Sheet Music Thank you so much. 👍🏻 Anyway, I will keep following the channel for it’s amazing content.
Thank you! Please, don't hesitate to ask any further questions, any time 😉
Thanks for your videos, they are very informative! This is my second day learning Cello, I've just posted a video of an attempt at Cannon. Keeping in mind its my second day.... I'd love for you to check it out :) I will be regularly posting my progression, with the help of your videos. So thank you again!

I’ve been playing cello for a month now and I can like naturally do vibrato I also play violin and viola so I don’t know if that’s why because I can do vibrato on violin and viola so it’s weird
Well, if you were already able to do vibrato on either violin and viola, that for sure helps a great deal! Congratulations though, vibrato on all string instruments is pretty challenging :)
So the thumb needs to free when playing vibrato?
Yes, a little bit... your hand must be free, yet safely on the neck ;)
Virtual Sheet Music what about leaving the thumb from the neck while playing
@@lalallmichelle5395 You can do that if like, but be careful not to lose control too much ;)
please please Spanish sudtitle please

legato
what about thumb position vibrato. thumb is the anchor. how about some vibrato exercises. Dorothy delay exercises. understanding vibrato below pitch. you are teaching tension...sorry
you are over analyzing a fundamental technique of how ones body interacts with a box of wood. vibt
Yakkity-yak, too much yak --need more demonstration and just some yak.
This was really long winded.
