Man, you really get into your viola. Look at all that rosin dust on the top plate under the strings there. You really play a lot.

An incredible excercise to loosen the fist finger falange, thank you so much!!!! Always have struggled with vibratto and haven't had teachers that explain it very clearly

@RonaldHouston Месяц назад

So glad this helps you!

First of all, this video really helped me to develop a proper vibrato. Thank you very much for that! My vibrato tecnique is not really the problem at the moment. My issue is, that due to artritis in my left index finger, that finger is a lot stiffer than the others, which makes it harder to do a proper vibrato with that finger. Do you also have some tips or tricks to tackle that problem?

"Fast up" and "Slow down" is a great vibrato exercise technique.

Why don't you wipe off the rosin dust?

Challenge accepted! Starting today, 5-17-23! Question though - are you doing 1-8 daily? I did 1 and 2 only, for each finger on each string in 1st position. I'm guessing after the movement is natural, to advance beyond 2 in pairs (like 3 and 4, then 5 and 6, etc.)?

@RonaldHouston 4 месяца назад

Yes.. Take your time.. No rush..you will get there.. Keep me posted on your progress!

@ab-zg8pt 4 месяца назад

@@RonaldHouston I absolutely will, so this will be a post with updates, probably every 10 days. As of 5-27-24: The dpi of the fingers has always been loose for me, so I couldn't figure out why the vibrato was so shallow, until I realized a big issue - my left hand frame wasn't consistent - when I realized that I made sure my fingers were over the string, save the first, so when I started the exercise again, I was able to get that wide vibrato. I am practicing at m=50, because I have to relearn bad habits from when I played in college (a huge one is releasing pressure/relaxing the joint when going below the note, makes things much easier). That being said, I've been concentrating a bit on it everyday, while exercising patience, and I know it'll be successful.

@maciejja7792 Месяц назад

what is a metronome?? which one do you use??

@RonaldHouston Месяц назад

I use tonal energy (te tuner). Watch my videos about it!

@robertpadgett4192 6 месяцев назад

Do you recommend learning the finger/wrist vibrato in 3rd position before progressing to 1st position?

@RonaldHouston 4 месяца назад

If it is more comfortable for you

@jbf813 5 месяцев назад

I think I need a bigger shoulder piece I'm having trouble keeping my violin stationary at my neck. When I try to do vibrato I end up shaking the whole violin lol I also seemed to be having trouble hitting my e chord without hitting the a simultaneously.

@RonaldHouston 4 месяца назад

Ooh... You need to figure out the mechanics of your lh

@PIckledeggilkley 6 месяцев назад

Hi Ronald, I seem to be able to do it all apart from the very last part - the vibrato. I feel like it will never come, I just can't understand how you move so fast.

@RonaldHouston 5 месяцев назад

Have patience! It takes a long time but you will get there

@stringswithdrsulbaran 6 месяцев назад

This is interesting, I don't teach this type of vibrato to beginning violists, is there a reason you start with finger/wrist vibrato? I was always told (and teach) arm vibrato first. Violin students, it's a different story!

@RonaldHouston 5 месяцев назад

I try not to differentiate between different vibratos and notice that different people gravitate towards different vibrato styles. I will make a video about this! Thank you for your comment and I am a fan of yours '

@robertpadgett4192 6 месяцев назад

I will recommend that all of my violin and viola students refer to this video to refine their vibrato technique.
