i found out a really good way 2 practise vibrato.......use a yohurt pot! i no it sounds strange, bt f u get a `petits flous`, or `ski` yoghurt pot, then u can practise vibrato easily. all u need 2 do is potition ur fingers around the pot like wen ur on the fiddle and move ur wrist at wotevr speed u want. t only thing is it has 2 be a round yoghurt pot, or else it won`t work. u can cut the top part off, so its 1 cylinder. trust me, it does help.!!! reply with ur thoughts

What do you mean?

what do u mean by what do u mean? do u mean what am i talking about?

oh, i no wot u mean. it was a spelling error. i typed yohurt instead of yoghurt.sorry for the confusion. please reply with all your thoughts. please????

yes you can teach urself vibrato (nobody you are WRONG) keep your hand relaxed and slowly at first shake your hand in a virtical motion dont slide your fingers just shake them, then try it faster. hope it helps

I cant really give u any advice 4 good vibrato. It is somenting that kind of grows on you. I bought this bk called "Viva Vibrato" but it did not help a lot. Check out music technique books @ the library, that might help.

I feel mega stupid, ur all like `yeh ive bin playin 4 2 yearz i learnt vibrato lalalala`
n ive been playin 6/7 yerz and i avent learnt it yet...

Um heres another, keep ur thumb on the violin, do not shift it. And dont move it sharper (at least thats what iv been told. Move it back getting flatter than move it to where u started. Dont go to slowy or ull make a wah-wah sound and not too fast unless ur on fast notes. Still, start out slowly, dont rush urslef in it

HI!
Well... I was just looking for the same thing (the right way to learn vibrato) on the web, and I found violintips.com - its a vrey cool website and really helped me learn over again. I never learned right- my vibrato was sideways-I don`t think I wanted to take the time to play it right when I was younger... now I`m trying! Believe me... Its not easy! hope this helps... although it looks like you have plenty!

The most beautiful vibrato should be the one that sounds the note and lowers it. So don`t go over the note...The best way to practice is:SLOWLY!!!!

i still cant learn it! plz help me.
plz rite a detailed description oj da bst way 2 learn it! i need the help
thnx

i`m 12 years old. i haven`t learned the vibrato but i have a tip. if you want to do it right. don`t move you thumb. and don`t take your thumb off the finger board. or else your doing it wrong. i repeat WRONG.

btw... i played for 1 year and a few months... and i`m really good at the violin. any one here use the suzuki method?

Hey!
I used suzuki when I first started.... I got to book 5 then took from a different teaher who doesn`t use Suzuki... Do you like Suzuki??? Its hard tolearn to read notes after you have to memorize pieces...
