I'm having trouble of using vibrato while playing pieces. I heard that we can practice vibrato while playing long notes, but when I play a piece, I can't get the feel of how fast should I vibrate. I heard it's depends on how fast is the piece, lets say vibrato in Aria by Eugene Bossa would be much diff than Dance Villagious by Sugawa. But somehow, I still can't get it while playing pieces. And I'm not sure when should I vibrate. Many ppl gv me diff advices tat confused me. Some said saxophone should play vibrato all the way whenever ur playing pieces. Some didnt agree but asked me to use it on long notes in the pieces. While some of them said it depends on the style and the feelings of the piece. OMG!! I'm totally screwed up!!
Btw, should we play different vibratos in diff genres? Such as jazz differs with bossa nova, n both differs with classical pieces? I would be appreciate if someone could help me out. Thx
Aria, just recently played that piece.....but as far as where, technically i say any note longer than one beat.....using vibrato all the way through a piece, not so much. On a slower song (say something around quarter note=60-82) use a wide vibrato. Anything 100-presto, use a faster vibrato...cant really explain it, its more of feeling the music
Oh thx... But I have one more question, which is:
When I play a slow piece, lets say Aria, it ends a phrase while a long note such as dotted minim. Should I vibrate through whole 3 beats or start vibrate later like...on 2nd beat of the dotted minim?
searching...
