      I think a student should begin right away in learning the rudiments or the wrist/hand motions of vibrato. Don’t make it some mysterious and advanced technique for the gifted. It’s not that difficult to develop a basic vibrato which can be improved upon as time goes by.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  5 лет назад +55

      @@Jleed989 A beginner should not attempt vibrato for at least a year as the basics need to settle in. I do not agree with teachers not teaching it until many years after they start as I agree with you, that it is something they should learn closer to the beginning, so that by the time they can play more intermediate and upwards music, the vibrato will have developed nicely.
      However, attempting it before at least a year can be damaging to the basics as they must be learned and settle in first - which only time can do, as you cant accelerate time.

      Your not the only one but at minimum you need those basics or it's going to hold you back. I'm there along with you but if we waste our trip me doing stuff we are not ready for we are missing out on all the good practice we could be getting instead. I'm focused on doing my scales and and I'm going to put vibrato on hold till I'm more ready. In the mean time I'm going to look at what she suggested. I don't agree with the year thing tho cause it's all dependent on how much you practice. If you practice for 30 min everyday for a year and another does 2 or 3 hours or more every day obviously the other person will be ready quicker.

    Today I tried vibrato seriously, and it's a bit tiring. I can't go very fast yet as it sounds inconsistent and is hard to keep up with, but I can go slower for a little longer (except that naturally I want to go faster). I did it on scales, bits of songs I know, and on single notes with the second and third fingers as I found those easier to start. It's hard for me to vibrato on the G and D strings though, but I'll get there ;) And yes I've played for a year (can't believe it -time flies!).

    Hi Alison, I just wanted to say that I've seen your other vibrato videos, and you're the only one who actually helped me learn. I've seen hundreds of other vibrato videos but none of them really explained properly what I had to do. Thanks to your videos I learnt the vibrato in a day (I know it sounds unbelievable but it's true)
    You're a really awesome violin tutor, and I just wanted to thank you for making these awesome videos.

    Thanks. This is my fourth year of playing (albeit inconsistently). I started at about 47. I’ve been attempting to practice vibrato on and off for the last two years but always give up. I have decided to persist and crack it this year. So far, I’ve been trying consistently for about a fortnight and I’m happy to say that it doesn’t sounds completely awful anymore. So thanks Alison. You’re right. I will keep plugging away every day. I am determined. 2020 - My year of vibrato!

    Thank you so much for your tutorials! I played the violin for 6 years from elementary to high school and "cheated" on my vibrato by performing with "finger" vibrato which my teachers never corrected. I am now 26 and have since come back to the violin and am having to completely re-train my hands' muscle memory. While it is painful and mind numbing to relearn my technique, your videos are making it much simpler than it would have been!
    Long story short= Practice, practice, practice the CORRECT technique and save yourself a lot of wasted time!
    Thank you for your enthusiasm and instruction!

      It took me a year to get my finger muscle memory to do vibrato correctly, and continue to practice correct finger position daily. I had a violin teacher make me play with a sewing thread spool in my hand to get my fingers lifted high enough to come straight down, which helps vibrato. He had a pretty vibrato like yours Alison, so with practice, I did too!

  • @mallorielouann546
    @mallorielouann546 5 лет назад +8

    I really appreciate the help. I've been playing for 6 years and I've gotten into a bad habit because I've been doing vibrato side to side rather than moving up and down and it has caused the correction process to be very difficult. Every time I attempt to do it the right way, it feels like I'm doing it wrong. And now it just sounds bad whenever I try to do vibrato. But I'll keep practicing. Thanks for this video. It's helped a lot more than any other videos I've seen.

  • @123jozef
    @123jozef 5 лет назад +3

    The distance from one note to the next, whether it be a whole note or even a half-note is so insanely close that when the fleshy tip of your finger "rocks or rolls" in either direction, the pitch changes quite drastically compared to any other stringed instrument. Understanding this really helped me with vibrato. I think that people who have been playing stringed instruments for a lifetime will have a little easier time with vibrato than those who are just beginning with the violin as their first musical instrument. Also, whether or not you have developed your "ear" or if you have "perfect pitch".. this will also help with time consumption. Although a guitarist technically does not use "vibrato" (even though a lot of guitarists do NOT know the difference between 'vibrato' and 'tremelo').. I do believe that highly developed fingers and wrists, forearms, etc., are really going to give you an advanced 'edge' ~ at the same time, this particular joint of the finger is rarely isolated on the guitar, so essentially, you will be learning how to use another joint/muscle group that you have really never used before. I practice vibrato every day, all throughout the day. Sometimes I don't even pick up the violin. I just find something to place my fingers correctly and then take the eraser end of a pencil and push that joint of the tip of my finger in and out so that it really gets some 'muscle memory' built up. It may sound stupid, but when I do pick up the violin, I feel like I've already been practicing my vibrato. Unless you are one of those 'double-jointed" people that can extend your fingers and only bend the tips of them (which looks really cool) you will never really have felt the need to use these muscles. Not in typing, keyboard playing, guitar playing... basically nothing. This is why I feel that the violin is so unique. It really seem like the violin was made for total usage of the hand and every muscle in the hand and this is what makes it so difficult. Add in your bowing technique and all of it's nuances it becomes very easy to see why people become so discouraged with trying to learn the violin. It is certainly the MOST difficult stringed instrument for a human to play, but the rewards of consistency and perseverance far surpass the difficult path to its mastery. Great guitarists (IMO) are a 'dime-a-dozen' ~ OTOH, great violinists are a rare species.

    @zactogan8903 6 лет назад +3

    Very good advice, nice updated video. I'll put my two bobs worth in as it may help some people... As an adult beginner, I also struggled for a long time. I started with wrist vibrato, but would get violin shake, and wrist moving erratically, first joints of fingers hardly moving, etc. Then progress stagnated. If you are the same, I suggest trying arm vibrato, & persevere with it for six months. Initially it feels harder, takes more energy, harder to keep your thumb in same place, & plenty of violin shake. Whats it does is forces the first joints of all fingers to move, the wrist to move slightly, the thumb to be kept in same place, & all arm/hand joints will be learning to have a smooth movement. But, when you return to wrist vibrato, it will be much easier. You must be patient & stick with it, sometimes you have to attack a problem from a different angle. For some, vibrato comes alot easier, others like me, have to try a different approach. Also, as a bonus, you'll have two vibrato techniques which you can use depending on the sound you want. :) Anyway, that's my experience.

    Your brain and body need time to process what you're trying to do.
    If you spend too much time per day on vibrato, you'll get frustrated and give up.

    Seen lots of videos (like 15 or so), all of them gave me 0, or almost any additional progress.
    Yours did! Even thoe i understand I have to polish the basics, I can now manage to understand it and so work on it.
    Thank yu!

    Ma'am your teaching style is really amazing 😍😍. Since childhood I always wanted to learn violin. I was never confident that I will be able to learn it myself. It's all because of you ma'am I am able to learn it is a very efficient way. Thank you sooo much ❤️

  • @brianrice9122
    @brianrice9122 7 лет назад +1

    This video shows you placing your left thumb directly under the neck of the violin (to support the violin, I'm sure) but it seems that most people learn to initially play with the neck resting between the thumb and index finger. Do you intentionally shift your thumb under the neck to create vibrato, then shift back to continue playing, or do you always play that way? I'm having difficulty playing in tune when I keep my thumb under the neck.

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  7 лет назад

      I play and teach that way. Some teachers teach with the thumb as you explain. In that case you may benefit from learning arm vibrato instead.

    Ik some of you want to learn Vibrato early then your ready for. I'm there along with you but if we waste our time doing stuff we are not ready for we are missing out on all the good practice we could be getting instead. I'm focused on doing my scales and and I'm going to put vibrato on hold till I'm more ready. In the mean time I'm going to look at what she suggested. I don't agree with the year thing tho cause it's all dependent on how much you practice. If you practice for 30 min everyday for a year and another does 2 or 3 hours or more every day obviously the other person will be ready quicker.

    Making an instruction video about vibrato is challenging, as this skill screams for personal instruction. But this video well covers the attendant issues.

    • @EgoShredder

      Vibrato is also a very personal thing, and defines who you are and the way you "speak" in the music sense.

    I am a teacher of many years and I want so badly to watch all of your videos.... what I have such a hard time is with how verbose they are. I wish sometimes there were advanced vids for musicians without all of the dialogue. I don't mean for that comment to be malicious. I just get ants in my pants... I just want you to start with something we are looking for (like playing a piece to grab our attention) and then break it down, point by point... with just a few simple audible tips. It's just an opinion...

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  5 лет назад

      Thank you for your comment, but I don't agree. Being impatient to get to the point only ends in disaster as you don't get or see the whole picture. If you cant wait, then you can skip the video or speed it up.
      All the dialogue is necessary for thorough and proper teaching of vibrato. Missing those important parts will leave the student now knowing enough about it - hence why problems develop down the line.
      Because of the medium of video, I have to adapt my teaching somewhat as its one sided - there is no interaction from the student. Im teaching and reaching a wide variety of people of all backgrounds and ages and countries - not just you - or any one individual.
      If i made my videos so targeted like that, then they would be useless and unpopular and only appeal to a very small audience.
      Also, remember these videos are 100% free and would cost a lot to pay a local teacher to tell you the same thing... 😀
      P.s being in a hurry to learn the violin, wont end well...take your time and you will progress faster and be much better.

      @@TheOnlineViolinTutor ~ sorry. I"ve been playing guitar for over 40 years. Started as a baby basically. I shouldn't have said what I did. I'm still watching your videos. My mistake was in the fact that thinking there would be this great "crossover" effect, which there is in many aspect (E, A, D , G) .a developed ear, picking out scales, trills, etc... the biggest issue is that the kind of vibrato used and required on the violin has absolutely NO effect on the guitar, so in essence, I have to back up and regroup. I want to retract my statement because at this point, I am only watching your videos. I found that I completely contradicted myself with my comment and I apologize. I teach like you do and I always get criticized because students just want things to happen 'yesterday"... no basics, no patience. Again, my apologies. You rock and you are now may FAVORITE violin teacher.

    vibrato should be a part of day one!
    It is not rocket science and the fear which is built up around it only makes it more difficult psychologically.
    You pick up the instrument and on your first gotdammed note u try to vibrate.No one teaches you the complex movements required to masturbate, boy or girl. Vibrato is not much different. !! Everybody ,,,,,,,,,,Vibrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @janhawkins6088

    My forearm hurts when I try vibrato, is this normal or am I just too tense? My wrist isn't as flexible as I'm now 72 and started playing the violin at 69. Your videos are great but I get frustrated when it sounds so awful. I keep trying but I don't seem to improve beyond the police siren. 😢

    • @TheOnlineViolinTutor
      @TheOnlineViolinTutor  2 года назад

      No. It is wrist vibrato.
      There is wrist vibrato, and arm vibrato. Both are correct - neither are wrong.
      It depends on how you hold your violin as to which one you will do.
