I CAN VIBRATO! I've only been playing for over a week, I've been teaching myself, and I've been working really really hard trying to get this right. And I've done it! THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!! Hard work pays off!!
Absolutely perfect. This is EXACTLY how Eleanore Schoenfeld corrected my frustrating difficulties and issues with vibrato during the first month I studied with her as an adolescent. She was my third teacher but her combination of artistry and and knowledge of the science of motion, and kiniesiology understanding of mathematics in rhythm, even her knowledge of muscle memory and anatomy tied together therough structured exercises opened up everything for me. I am trying to become functional as a violist, and it is nice to see the detailed process i learned on cello re-affirmed on the fiddle. Thank you for the lessons. Brava!
at nearly 50 years old I just fell in love with a teacher. I have been trying to figure this out for weeks. I am so grateful right now that I am in tears.
4 people are trying to learn vibrato on drums... this is the best violin lessons i found online so far... keep it up, Beth!! will repost this on tweeter...
I am learning to play the Violin. This is a very, very helpful video. I first watched it about a month ago and started practising the technique as shown in the video, regularly. Now I am able to get that constant, wobbly vibrato sound, as she explained in the video. Thank you very much The Violinlab channel. I believe I will get better with more practice and patience. :)
when I got my violin the first day I looked on you tube for advice and I came across this video. I wanted to learn how to vibrato. this video is amazing it showed me what I needed to learn and it was so simple. I came across the slo mo video a week or two later. you are a very good teacher. thank you very much for your advice
This is the best tutorial on learning vibrato hands down! I had watched a few clips and this was the only one that actually helped me make that ghostly wobbly sound at the beginning. The main tip here is NO PRESSURE at the beginning and apply it gradually! All other clips lack that crucial step. Thank you so much! I am having a teacher right now but some day I will take lessons with you. You have a lovely voice by the way.
La primera vez que vi este video no tenía traducción al español pero me di cuenta que eres una excelente profesora. Agradezco tu tiempo, tu paciencia y tu experiencia para explicar estas clases y celebro que el video esté traducido. Gracias!!!Gracias!!!Gracias!!! desde Argentina
My battle with vibrato is primarily due to my years of playing guitar. On the guitar which is fretted, you are basically grabbing the string with your finger and moving it across the frets which is a different motion than a violin vibrato as you are describing in this video. I now see, thanks to your video, that I will have to relearn muscle memory for the violin. This is a task that I will conquer. But again, I seem to lean towards grabbing the string as on a guitar and moving the string as I would across two frets (one in back of the note and the front in front of the note). I greatly appreciate your help! And these exercises along with your approach to establishing a correct and proper vibrato for violin are greatly appreciated.
i have been struggling with vibrato, when you said "forward impetus" that is what i needed to hear to make progress. as soon as i began to think of it as only one direction and rebound back it was like a quickening. BIG THANKS!!!
Hey Beth, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you so much !!! I worked hard several month and now I'm able to vibrate. Very good (no, best !) instrucion ! Play violin for 1 year only and is my big love ;-))))))) Play piano since 30 years but I like so much the violin sound !!
Muchas gracias, adorable maestra. Tu video me devolvió la esperanza, ahora creo que pasito a pasito obtendré un vibrato. Dedicación y mucha paciencia serán claves en esto. Thank you so much!
Thank you. This is one of about 4 videos that I watch to finally learn vibrato correctly. I had been using a technique adapted from guitar and learned it was totally wrong. After one month, I have down the "siren" sound and am at the point of completing 4 cycles of back and to the target pitch at 40 bpm. Hopefully, I will have a controlled vibrato in a couple months. Thanks again for you very clear instruction.
ma'am my respect for you... mis respetos para usted, este y otro vídeo son los que estoy aprendiendo bien como se hace el movimiento con la mano izquierda
@melodel2 I do recommend using a shoulder rest. The crux of developing excellent technique is having complete and total freedom the move the left hand around the instrument (shifting, vibrato...). Without a shoulder rest, the felt need to "hold on" to the neck is tremendous and is hard to counteract.
Hey Josh, im not sure if someone has already helped you with this but the vibrato is the same for violin and viola. On viola you will get a different sound in your vibrato that you will learn to incorporate into your playing but the technique is all the same! It does really matter because it can help you express the emotions in what you are playing. It's a very important part of playing most stringed instruments and I recommend learning it!
thane you so much im in with ventoentreosdedos i never thought i was going to get it. because i have a funeral service to play at in a month so that helped a lot thanks again
@waffle668 Yes, the basic movement and process for learning vibrato for viola is the same as for the violin.The viola and violin hold are the same and the angle of the hand to the necks of the two instruments are also the same. Good Luck!!
@JaredChacon Basically the shoulder rest helps the feeling of security. Often is a players feels that the violin is going to slip out from under the chin, then they will squeeze or grip harder with the left hand. It's the squeezing that will then prevent the vibrato from developing. I have professional colleagues who do not use a shoulder rest and have gorgeous vibratos. It just depends on how comfortable you are without one. Great question, Beth at Violin Lab
I've been practicing my vibrato every day for a couple of months now and I'm getting better but don't have it down yet. I've heard it can take up to two years and I'm just prepared for the long haul. I spend about 15 minutes in 5 minute intervals every (and I do mean every) day. I'll get it eventually. I'm prepared for the long haul. Thanks for the video help.
@YuniKashedo Yes, the vibrato movement is the exact same for viola. In fact, most technique is the same for both instruments. The main difference for the viola, is the approach to sound production. It takes more hair and more bow weight to pull a good sound than it does on the violin.
wow you are great.. I had violin teacher for 2 years and half but he couldn't teach me how to make good vibrato sound. I always thought it's more like some technique inherited rather that something that could actually get better by practice!

I'm glad that you're playing Mediation at the beginning -- that's the song I'm learning vibrato for.
Thanks Miss Blackerby. Great teacher and fashion icon.
Perfect explanation about the impulse and rebound. She has a beautiful wrist-vibrato.
Thank you, you're such a good teacher. my violin teacher didn't teach me any at all! when I asked him how to vibra, he said:" Just vibra!"
Thanks so much, Professor. Your teaching method is really effective.
Hi Beth, thanks a lot for your videos, they are really good and helpful.
