So now I'm going to talk about vibrato. First you need to set up your left hand position the right way. Now we spoke about how to set up your left hand in the first position but now we need to talk about the left hand positioning in the third position because that's where I like to start learning vibrato. Your hand in third position is rested at the shoulder of the instrument. I like also doing the second finger on the A string to start because it's the most centered finger, the strongest finger. My finger is on the tip of the fat of the finger, there's a nice platform here and that's how you start.
Then to vibrate what I usually do is, I put a little arrow on the finger going this way; that's the direction the finger has to go in. Back and up. So back and forth, back and forth. And as you can see the knuckle is going down and then it's going up. Going down and going up. So an exercise you can do is, that's an E on the A string, third position and then collapse it, back, back. Then you can do a slur. That's a two note slur. We can do four notes. Or you can do six. Then eight. And until you reach normal vibrato speed. You need to do that kind of vibrato for each one of your fingers.
When you vibrate also another issue that you have to think about is your arm position. Now we spoke about correct arm position is you're flat as a pancake here, everything is straight, nothing's sticking out. When you vibrate you do need your wrist; the most popular vibrato is wrist vibrato. So then you would do, this does come out when you flatten the finger a little bit. So the wrist is moving back and forth when you're doing that finger-wrist vibrato. You need to do that with all of the fingers.
The only exception is the pinky. The pinky fourth finger does not use as much wrist just because of the physicalness of the actual finger. You're still doing the same motion but it's just a little bit smaller. It's mainly the finger vibrato with just a little bit of wrist. That's how you would start to learn vibrato. Start slow. That's the vibrato.
i remember my first vibrato......i tried to vibrate the violin rather than my hand XD
+Justine Yamon lol XD
+Justine Yamon lol XD
omg same
Same. and it's so saddening how my violin teacher taught me for 3 years now and she never mentioned vibrato before. Probably because even after 3 years I struggle to read notes.
Haha I tried doing vibrato she makes it sound so easy but I did the same thing you did 😂😂😂
bleeding is normal right?
lol what!?
+Clara Mel B Coz my finger bleed//Violin model 2011
i got the vibrato problems
but im professional in notes
Mystic Fox9 since you are a professional then I guess it might be normal!?
Good luck :)
No...
There's no better feeling then when someone who never has played the violin before.. finally.... gets noise :)
Hahahaha I remember about two days ago when I started, I wondered why nothing happened haha
I had to Google it then I learned about the rosin :D
It's funny when we think it's sort of simple to play an instrument. I recall about a year ago I didn't even know what a "Capo" was (^_^) even though I wanted to play the guitar since I was a little kid haha
TOP 100 Classical music
ahhh yes I remember my first time, about 3 yrs ago we had just started plucking and I was curious so I used the bow (without shoulder rest because I didn't know about that either) it didn't work so when we finally got the bows wich was about a week later I finally learned op
lol... Somebody told me that you have to really stab at the rosin to get it nice and dusty BEFORE applying it... solved all my "getting noise" issues.
TOP 100 Classical music lmao yes XD
it took me forever to figure out how to make noise. i thought i was the only one who struggled with this, because nobody else in my class had the same issue. i was pressing the strings too lightly, and had been playing silently for a month.
I gave that pitch vibrato
Pitches love vibrato
omg yesss! Do you play violin or another string instrument?
Jason Matters nah im good thx
when you reply to a comment three years after it's uploaded lol
AdmiralDark AJ I’m gonna reply to a 4 year old comment and see if I get a reply lmao
AdmiralDark AJ yes
I feel like someone's holding her at gunpoint and making her do this
Gavin Lopez ikr...
yeah, it sure seems like it
ikr
Yah... She looks and sounds like she's about to cry..... I think it's her cheeks... they're rather flushed, don't you think? And her nose is quite pink too... Hope she's ok xD
The new marina Joyce
This actually finally helped. Visually seeing how to do it helps a lot while other people don’t really tell you any techniques or better exercises on how to develop a vibrato when you first learn
@Hanna goldstein lmao i hate how this happens in everything, sign of a bad teacher
I made a dying seal noise.
Bri1234 Roblox oh my god same
How are you now?
Still can't do vibrato and this comment was 8 months ago.
Bri 1234 oof
oof
Why does she sound like she's about to cry?
she heard you play?
Hazel Blake she looks like she is gonna cry too...
isn't all violinist always sad all the time?
Irun Mon I play a violin and I am not always sad!!!! 😭
WeiWeiBah! Ikr!
i was shaking my violin than vibrating my hand. its too tough
Shana Banerjee samee, I just can't do it, I've tried almost everything
Same it's like how do you move your finger and not the violin??
Emazing Art diys and more IKR.
you should put on your shoulder rest where it feels like it naturally is resting on your shoulder grabbing it with your shoulder and chin without raising your shoulder, relax your arm let go and you should only be holding the violin without your arm now move your wrist side to side like your try to rock your finger without sliding and lightly touch the string now play and try to increasingly get faster
Same here
I searched up “how to do the finger thingy on violin”
Seer!!!
Yeshh
Hhahaha
😂😂😂 really? I’m a violinist
Sha-Sha Win American-Horse sameee lmao
i almost broke my finger trying to do the arrow thingy
Excuse me. Nani the f-
Same
Gurllll....SAME
Me too
i wish she showed it at a different angle
Exactly my point, how’s your vibrato after 4 years??
I can’t seem to make it work...it sounds like the fire alarm is going off
@@g.s.7218 try THIS. It was a big success for me. Take a break from the howling squawking sounds and the wrist cramps. I cooked some spicy savory tomato soup. It tastes unbelievably great plus it warmed me up. Round 3 of lockdown for Chinese cooties.
@@deadmanswife3625 WHATTTTTT....I just ate tomato soup....are we the same person? 👁👄👁
@@g.s.7218 I forgot I made this comment lol, and my vibrato has gotten very good actually. It’ll sound so bad at the beginning though, so keep working on it. It took me about a year to sound like actual vibrato
i cant do it without my violin wobbling!
There are 4 easy steps to do vibrato.My students learn vibrato in 2-3 lessons:)))
You need a shoulder rest
You don’t need a shoulder rest as long as you can balance the violin properly
Practice~
Cookiefishking you need a shoulder rest for posture
I have tried to do vibrato all my life and nothing has worked. This method that she is teaching seems to be the only one that well work for me.
***** , sure, thanks.
Check out the video “How to do vibrato like a pro”
Agreed! Too many impatient violinists here.
I’ve been playing violin for five years and our teacher hasn’t even tried to teach us how to do vibrato
did it work for you?
learning how to play the violin makes me frustrated. seeing this video makes me more frsustraded. why the freak cant they position the camera behind where he would see her fingers moving. i dont even know in which way she os moving her fingers.
+Erin Dsouza Learning violin is so difficult but really rewarding when you start to make progress. I started violin as an adult, at 23, and have been playing 3 years; I still feel crappy though. but I suggest going back to some old sheet music and exercises that you did a while back and see how easy it has become! :) Muscle memory is a huge thing for violin so it just takes time.
It's easy
And I'm only 14
kenneth grubbs it's not easy for other people. It doesn't matter how old you are, it can either be difficult or easy. I have played a few songs. And I'm gettinf a little better. I can make it but it's very difficult
Erin Dsouza yes
1- she does sound like she’s being held against her will to do this
2- there’s police sirens in the background
After months of practice, I finally was able to vibrato today.
So happy for you 👏🏻 😊
Please tell me this is an exaggeration
@@sickraptor7003 no, it really does take months to learn correctly
SAme
me after 4 years 😭😭
Excellent! Finally I learned how to vibrate the 4th finger. I have no trouble with the other fingers -- they produce a smooth and even vibrato -- but no one has ever taken the trouble to explain why my 4th finger vibrato always sounded so forced and contrived (and unpleasant). No wonder! I had been trying to do a wrist vibrato. Finger vibrato is the answer for this 4th finger. Thank you ever so much, Julie Artz Becker. Now that I'm 62 I'm finally ready to stop avoiding 4th-finger vibratos (I had been shifting all around the fingerboard in order to avoid this whenever possible.)
Thank you so much this helped me on my trail to learning vibrato at the end of 7th grade now in the middle of 8th and advanced orchestra able to do great vibrato. I've even done vibrato with a cast on my friends thought I was crazy and now I'm trying to teach my friends the same method they try to rush too much though I'll get them to learn it
1/3 of your 3rd high school year, how do you feel now
I didn't know physicalness was a word.
Today it is
I can't help but move the violin all over the place when I do it. Theres no way I can steady the violin just by sandwiching it between my neck and shoulder. I'm trying to do it gently but it just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
I know the feels omg like I'm shaking the thing all over😂
mossy1 You need to roll your finger, not "shake" it back and fourth
+ItsMeCharleyoxo
I know what you mean. I keep doing the same thing but this lesson has demonstrated a slightly different way of doing it then I have previously learned. Hopefully, I will have a better vibrato.
Blessings for your vibrato as well!
You can't let any other part of your hand touch the violin except the finger and your thumb
Ryan Lee I think it has something to do with me finding it extremely hard to hold the violin purely with my chin and shoulder.
In the introductory exercises, you're moving from your elbow, not the wrist joint. In the up to speed demonstration, you're moving from the wrist.
.... BAM. Exactly what I was noticing. She didn't even explain what type of vibrato we were learning, and vibrato doesn't come from the finger. Vibrato comes from the motion of either the wrist or arm, the finger simply follows in their motion eventually leading to said vibrato.
+Jim Plattes Exactly!!
+Season & Snare thank youu😂
I thought i was the only one who noticed it. Now, im confused.😣
I tried to do what she said, but then like 20 minutes later I realized that I had to cut my long nails. I'm crying this is too hard.
+Doritos calm dowm m8
+Doritos I always yell at my sister when tries to play with long nails
+I Stole Your Sandwich When You Looked Away uhhhh cool?
Playing any string instrument with long nails is hell mate.
I started violin this year and when my teacher told me I had to cut my nails, I was so sad😢
You make this seem like it is something you can learn in 5 minutes. I have played for 9 yrs and I only learnt this at my 2/3rd year.
I have played violin for 3 years, and i can’t use the vibrato!!!😭😭
Thanku so much . I have been searching for this to learn
You are very good at teaching vibrato. Thank you for your expertise!!!!
I GOT IT ,YOU THE BEST
I have seen so many videos on how to vibrato that didn’t help at all, I have been playing for years but never properly learned. This video has been the first to really help, thank you!!
I'm having trouble!!😭. I hope I learn soon
I nearly broke mutual violin trying to play this.
Great technique. I hope to learn how to do vibrato too. Thanks for teaching. The violin is an awesome instrument. All good gift comes from the Father of lights, Who also gave us His Son. James 1:17, John 3:16.
Love you I need this, but now.... Oh wow, thank you❤️
I appreciate vibrato is so much easier on cello. Not having to hold up your instrument is such a plus.
I looked at some other things to teach vibrato and they didn't help very much. This video actually helped me figure out how it's done though, so thank you for putting this up!
(I can impress my parents now)
thank you so much for your tutorial. I managed to do vibrato in a few days thanks to you. I cannot thank you enough for it.
Thank you so much I'm practicing everyday I see a lot of videos how to make vibration just doesn't work but I think this is the most beautiful technique I will try it
damn my orchestra teacher is taking a year to finish and you did it in 3 minutes, thank u
I learned vibrato in a couple of days this person is making it harder than it is
Third year playing intermediate violin and every time I try doing vibrato I shake not only my fingers but my bow too😂
Me: Does vibrato
Window: I’m done *SHATTERS*
Thanks for making this! I can now complete my original piece! I call dying crow through puberty.
My instructor is teaching me this on my lesson today. I’m not getting it and my hand is now killing me ! Need to keep practicing. Looks easier than it is
I tried doing this and ended up vibrating my entire body😂
Thnx I follow ur vibrato tips...now i m success...thnx again...
My teacher called it "Vibrato Sirens"
It really did sound like a siren ._.
Thank you, this is an excellent video, among the best I have seen. Many of my students have benefited from it.
Wow! Thank you very much! this video was extremely helpful to me in order to learn vibrato. I actually play the viola but I'm just assuming that the vibrato is essentially the same idea.
This is perfect! I finally got my vibrato! I'm so happy!
She sounds like shes having a breakdown
thank you!! this helped me a lot!!
Im here because I want to become Lindsey Stirling Someday. :D
Hanzo So u want to be a girl
wow i'm not the only one!
Hanzo Hattori SAME SHE IS THE WORLD'S BEST HUMAN
Hanzo Hattori Same😊🎻🎶🌟
Hanzo Hattori yea well u won't be her because you're someone else
Nice Fur Elise cover at 2:11
mine sounds like a ✨crying whale✨
I tried other methods which don’t seem to work but her method does!! Thanks so much for the instruction!
i literally learned nothing bc she was stuttering like she was about to cry
Her: Graceful bow movements
Me: violently shakes my violin
Me: I sound good... maybe I should video myself so I can hear it better
Listens to video: I'm so done with this
THANKS FOR THE LESSON.
As a person who can actually do it, I can say that she could’ve explained it a lot quicker
Explain it to me pls
Explain it to us please
Explain it to us please
Some people learn better slowly
i dont know why this william comment like that but, i have seen your video and you are great. but william, this video help me to do vibrato even that just a little bit. i can say that this video can help dummies even that she worst at teaching.
This exercise, as shown, doesn't lead to the "normal speed vibrato" as demonstrated at 2:25. In the slow version, an "arm vibrato" is being shown, where the wrist is locked and the whole arm is moving back and forth, pivoting from the shoulder. However, in the "normal vibrato," she is using a wrist(hand) vibrato where the arm is still, but the hand moves back and forth from the wrist. If you want that sort of vibrato, you have to practice the "wrist" vibrato slowly, and gradually speed it up. If you want an arm vibrato, then you would do the exercise almost like it is being demonstrated here. I say "almost," because typically an "arm" vibrato pivots from the elbow, not the shoulder. Personally, I would recommend using your forearm(pivoting from the elbow), rather than using the entire arm(pivoting from the shoulder). This is a classic example of a confusion of the mechanics, which can lead to a confused student. Whenever speeding something up, you want to do a slow motion version of the faster motion, as exactly as possible.
I looking for many videos about how to do vibrato and mostly have different method sometime easy but sometime not aplicable on different finger position and this video is the best among others..thank you for sharing..Good Job!
Aha! Explaining that the finger moves away and backwards makes sense. The complete opposite to how it's done on a guitar. No wonder I was struggling a bit. I've just started to do it a bit but I can't wait to try what you show here.
This lady looks like she is about to burst into tears
Srsly is she OK
Thanks I was looking a video more easy for learn vibrato
Thank you for you advise. It is the best exercise to do the vibrato I have ever learned.
I think it looks like she is about to cry
Stolen comment 🙂
Thank you so much 😅
I’m at violin camp and I’m the only one not able to do a good vibrato yet. Thank you sooooo much
i did dis wrong for a long time...
:D
best explanations ever
It’s really not, she’s not explaining it correctly
THANK YOU! Now my classmates will think I'm good at violin😏
Sure thing at least one excellent explination, I´ve been wachting RUclips videos so long trynna find somethin like this, Thank u so mauch Julie Becker
3:05 I heard ambulance, is someone dying?
2:12 too
Tchaikovsky serenade for strings brought me here. What a fabulous example of strings vibrato, what a composition.
I have a wrid habit where i vibrate the bow :P
+Alex I have the soem trouble. I guess is just a matter of training and time like anything else, but my brain is not cooperating. Have you already solved this problem since you left this message?
same here 😂😂
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THAT. Lmao. XD
SAME
Lol same
Best explanation I've seen.
My god that violin is loud lol
Me : iam gonna master vibrato
My pinkie finger: iam gonna ruin this man's career
Dont try this guys! The video ist not helpdul at all..
She shows arm vibrato slowly and then does wrist vibrato quickly but claims it to be also wrist vibrato in the slow Part
tysm I'm only starting this now lol and this was uploaded 10 years ago
oooooh so hard i need alot of practice 😓
I used to spend hours as a kid practicing vibrato this way per my teachers request. Nowadays i just vibrate the whole hand, not necessarily stemming from the finger, but hey, same results and it's gotten me into a few orchestras(:
Thanks, this video has taught me vibrato in way less time than being taught by a teacher in front of you would
I still need help I can't move my hand I can just move the violin
thank you, you help me with my Orchestra class thank you so much
Thank you for the lesson
i’ve been at this for almost a year i’m just gonna quit the violin
It's sad. Im sorry
thnx a lot for the great lesson i really needed that
I’m lost a nail while doing this 😃
💀💀💀
EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR
Is it weird that I can do this and I've only been practicing it for less than a month for my first year of learning the violin. I'm not trying to brag, but I've heard that even people who've been in honour orchestra can't do it..
no
@@moslitz8169 four years later I’d like to admit that I was indeed trying to brag
you see my orchestra playing and the parts you do vibrato you just see me looking like I am having a siezure trying to play the song vibrato
This video isn't exactly helpful this isn't the way that I see or hear people do vibrato it sounds like she is just constantly changing notes
I played guitar for 7 years and recently got my violin. I use a pinching motion and bend the string much like you would a guitar.
I’m a pianist and im looking at this because I love it.
too hard for this technic😢😢
Thank you so much, this help me a lot. Now I can do vibrato perfectly by just one video.
If u just bought ur first violin.. Do not watch this lol
Agh my hand
Finally a good explanation. I've been moving it back and forth sideway and it doesnt sound good and tiring too
Didn't really help 😑
