How To Do Vibrato On The Violin 

Try hard be like

Aishas Animations sameee my whole instrument shakes

Mine too, I can't help it but shake I tried so hard, but I just still can't 😂

Same tho

I've been playing for five years and still cant do it 💀

DEAD HAGAGAHA

same! except with my pointer finger, I use that the most!!!🎻👎👈

that’s what i was thinking!

FINNALLY!!!! somebody gets me! I showed this to EVERYONE in my class(19 people) and nobody could relate! thank you😂🎻🔈

How do you fix that?

That's what I did basically. And all that happened was that I shook my violin around xD

A little oversimplified...and that was a little understated

Wasnt it eddy? Or did brett also say that too

Lol. But so -false- true.

i nearly cried when brett said that. i was learning how to do vibrato right before i stopped taking lessons and it fucked me up. inspired by twoset i picked up the violin again for the first time in like 3 or 4 years the other week and i've been practicing and well, vibrato is fucking me up once again. sighhhh. why am i even doing this to myself

Twosetviolin is the best

TWOSETTT

I wish i was ling ling

You watch twoset too?!!

Just let go in your muscles. Obviously don’t drop the bow or violin, but try to let go.

It's so annoying. Every teacher I've had always says "you're panicking!" even though I'm not I'm just trying to learn

@leti castro YA MY VIOLIN TEACHER CALLS ME A PERFECTIONIST XD

It's so frustrating to be told "relax" and not know how. A few things you could try: 1) Experiment with making circles with the left hand thumb. First try just in a playing position with your thumb lightly touching the neck of the violin. Circle your thumb one direction and then switch. Work up to playing a scale very slowly while still circling your thumb. This will start to separate your thumb from your finger action. It's normal that every time we drop a finger on the violin we grip with the thumb to try and keep the finger in place but it's important to work on getting the fingers and thumb to be more independent. 2) If you have a bookshelf that is tall or a tall table or an upright piano, experiment (safely and carefully!) with letting the violin be held up by a shelf. Put down a cloth so you don't scratch your instrument and put your scroll on the cloth. Find a position where you feel the violin is supported by the shelf. Play a slow scale and explore allowing the violin (supported by the shelf) to hold the weight of your fingers so instead of pressing your finger down (and presumably gripping with your hand), you are feeling like your heavy hand would fall through the violin if it wasn't there. Explore transferring the weight to each new finger you put down as you play your scale. These 2 exercises should work to loosen your hand and wrist so that you can start to get some flexibility to explore vibrato. I hope it helps!

@@lysss27 lol seing this after 2 months makes me cringe because im actualy doing better and got into a top performing arts school.

Charlie Binks same lol

Your orchestral teacher should "teach" it whenever you desire it. Learning is intrinsically chaotic. A baby isn't banned from speaking until it has learned to walk! All facets of learning can be done at the same time. The notion that you shouldn't "do" one thing until you have "mastered" another is the reason why so many violinists and others are slow to learn. There is an assumption that learning several things at once somehow create bad habits. It's nonsense. If you want to vibrate (and it's good that you do because you recognise it makes your instrument sound better) then go ahead. There are plenty of ways to learn it like this excellent video.

Lel same ):))

SAMEEE

correct ! You are right. A good sounding violin makes it easier for everybody, even a Beginner.

what is the name of the piece she plays at 1:12

@@kushaljain3802 Chorus from Judas Maccabaeus

@@artasnivy4957 thanks

Or maybe lots of practice with tone?

and as a learner it makes me happ&hopeful to find out that nothing is actually as recondite as it seems to be if things are taught correctly

riight! best so far and I've see more videos on vibrato than pairs of shoes I have. (P.S I'm a shoe head.)

Just watch David Oistrakh

@@evelynwong961 lol

What the hell does assertive mean when describing makeup...

That's awesome!! So glad it has helped you 🙏

It's very informative présentation ,, plz if you videos about using the Note, I will be be great, I'm flowing you from South Sudan . Thanks

That’s exactly right. Thanks for watching!

So glad it was helpful!!

That's fantastic! So glad it worked for you!

Ive been playing for 3 years and still I cant do either of those lol

This is my 5th year and I’m only just learning it. My school teacher knows nothing about orchestra, and my private teacher made sure we knew how to shift and had really good muscle memory before she taught it, but I moved before we got to that

can you do it now? ps, have faith in yourself!!!

I have been doing it for like 4 and its really hard for me to do vin=brato! I can learn easy songs by ear but only easy songs..

8 years and still not great

Thanks, Joseph!

Thanks, Kiran!!

Joy Lee is good and has a whole playlist for Vibrato but I love this video for sure!

@@TheTuneProject Same here. I sub because your explanation is very clear and easy.

@Shuncey Balba yeah

@Shuncey Balba that sucks. i haven't played my violin in about 2-3 weeks..i need to work on it

@Shuncey Balba thanks. you too

Same with me

Hand indipendence.. yep it's hard, When I'm learning piano I have a hard time to practice it..

Aw, thanks so much!!

Madeline No way!! Can’t wait to see 😊

I'm so glad it's helpful for you! :)

goth gf I’m glad it helped you! Best of luck!!

I'm so glad it was useful to you! Good luck with your studies!! ❤︎

Thanks for watching anyway!!

My teacher said it takes about 2 months to perfect your vibrato so its perfectly fine if you don't get it right away its been about 2 weeks for me and it sounds way better than when i started

Honestly I've never got the hang of it when I was in school. And like you it made me mad and quit the violin. I regret I ever did. I loved it. I still do. Don't quit like I did. Don't give up. Keep trying. This is a video that helped explain it in a way that I could understand that I really didn't get in school.

You'll get it

Vibrato isn't something that you just learn through the night. It takes months to perfect. Keep practicing and you'll get it one day. I've been practicing and there is a small amount of improvement. It will take a long time to practice but at the end it'll be worth it.👍🏼☺️

@@blackfirehd884 very encouraging!!!

I'm so glad it helped you! Thanks!! ❤︎

Rajani - I'm so glad! Good luck to you!!

Congrats!

Nice! My fingers don’t like me rn...🤦🏽‍♀️

So cute doggy

Buy a cheap violin mute, its well worth it 😉

Multifandom BTS, BP, Shinee A-Teez,G-idle yea when I try to do it it just shake my whole violin and then my shoulder rest falls off lmao

same here

You're not alone. I too still experience it

Yesssss

Same lol

Thanks bunches! 🙏

You can do it! Best of luck.

Thank u so much im a violin player (currently 5th year) and this video really helps me learn vibrato

Question what beat do you use

Thank you, your exercise very helpful. Keep on playing! 🎻😊 Much love, ~ Mila

How do I do it with my pinky it's really difficult?

I would like to learn more steps on how to use the violin. Cuz I'm also trying it at home but I didn't get it.

I like you and love you🌹🌷💖

What sheet music did you have at the beginning it sounds pretty

Emelin Lopez It’s “Chorus from Judas Maccabaeus” from Suzuki Violin book 2!

while watching your tutorial, i finally did my first vibrato. I'm so glad after trying for months, having watched dozens of tutorials and couldn't get it before this video. My hand hurts though. It's painful doing it. lol. You're good at explaining.Thanks

Whays the name of the piece you play at the beginning? And do you have any free advanced vibrato technique videos?

That's great to hear! Good luck to you!

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful :)

That's where the 4th finger comes in handy! There's something beautiful about the sound of an open string though, imo!

... especially when it's in tune!

You're welcome!

Lol, SaMe

same aha

Chong Willey Thanks so much!

Same dude

Ya me too!

Ice Blossom as you progress, You will develop a piece of hard skin on the tips of your fingers, then it won’t hurt.
