Hola Mary! Me encanta ese ejercicionde vibrato sobre la mano...así parece más fácil 😅 Voy a practicar y seguir experimentando con mi vibrato! Y volveré a ver los vídeos que le has comentado a Kati😊 Muchisimas gracias Mary y un abrazo desde Madrid!🧡🎶💚🎻
Hello Lola! I'm glad you like the hand exercise...it is easier because you can really feel how light your hand is and that vibrato needn't be a strenuous, heavy action. (And it's so easy...) I hope you are having a lovely summer in Madrid! Thank you and a big hug!! Mary❤
Mary, this is a very good point. I'm one of those who start vibrato slow. I have to make this adjustment in my playing Thais Meditation and other pieces. Thank you!
Hello! I also have a rather slow vibrato, believe it or not, and concentrating on the start of the note helps my rather stiff fingers enormously...plus the back of the hand exercise is fantastic to prevent the hand from tightening up, which we tend to do when speeding up our vibrato. So I really hope this all helps, because there's nothing more encouraging than a beautiful start to a note! Take care. Mary❤
I practiced the instant vibrato along with catch and release and saw the difference right away. I see how one is forced to do instant vibrato on fast passages. Now, I could use it the same way with slow passages, with the fading away adding quality to the tone. You're wonderful, Mary. Thanks again!
Hello! Extremely well done; you have described the process perfectly as it spreads throughout your playing. For those of us with slower vibrato, the back of the hand exercise helps enormously when practiced frequently, as I think you have discovered yourself. Thank you very much for your feedback; I'm delighted you are finding a way to produce that quality of sound right from the start of the stroke and yet not expend enormous and unsustainable amounts of energy doing it! Take care. Mary❤
You are really good Mary and make it look so easy ! I think my vibrato is all over the place I still get confused with the motion .. sometimes my hand goes up and down so I can have a flexible knuckle , sometimes it’s more of a roll along the strings towards the pegs ! I think I’ll get there but it’s all over the place !
Hi Katie! The vibrato movement is rolling the pad of the finger back and forth on the string. Up and down movements to increase knuckle flexibility are neither necessary nor how vibrato is produced. Try watching these videos to give you a really clear idea of what vibrato really is and how to produce it properly; ruclips.net/video/78lHFxeGd00/видео.html ruclips.net/video/Gi47x95GzSg/видео.html Hopefully these will be help you to understand how to eliminate the extra movements that impede your vibrato. I hope you do well with this, while remembering to practice other things in your violin playing sometimes, and not just vibrato!😉 Take care, Mary❤
@@violinstudiowithmaryv thanks Mary . I think I’ll get there I need to definitely re watch the videos to remind myself what I’m supposed to be doing . Thanks for your help 😀
Hi Mary, thanks for another great video. I believe my vibrato has gotten much better using your video practice techniques. When you get a moment could you comment on the wide vibrato Grappelli uses often for dramatic emphasis. John
Hello John! I'm delighted you have found my videos helpful and your vibrato is coming on. It's very encouraging to have a nice vibrato, isn't it? What could I say about the fabulous Stephane Grappelli! He is an absolute master of the violin and also a master of jazz. The wide vibrato you mentioned is so wide it rather bends the note, doesn't it? His normal vibrato is basically a wrist vibrato and quite fast and when he widens it he moves only his finger, which leaves his hand undisturbed, ensuring he doesn't lose any speed and dexterity - gorgeous! But there's an extra magic to Grappelli that cannot be explained. it just touches us and we love him for that...Mary❤

Thank you! Mary❤️

Thank you! Mary❤
I like that back of the hand exercise. and starting vibrato as the finger touches the string.
Hello iggy! Do it when you're watching a film, reading a book or having a bath - it really works!
Mary❤
