Cello Vibrato - 3 Easy Steps to Improve Your Pinky Vibrato Technique

Are you struggling with a weak pinky and wondering how to make it work like the other fingers? You're not alone! Many cellists face this challenge, but today, we'll explore a fantastic technique to reinforce your pinky and improve your vibrato.
Curious about how to play the cello more efficiently and improve your vibrato? I'll demonstrate two ways how to use your pinky and explain why one method might be causing you trouble. By positioning your third finger close to your pinky and making a slight wrist adjustment, you can achieve a more relaxed and even vibrato.
Why does it sound so irregular when you use your pinky alone? How can you avoid losing balance and ensure your vibrato is smooth? I will show some practical exercises to help you master this technique.
