hello. this is to say thank you and not only for your videos. i am a 13 year old girl from Scotland who loves to play violin. i started off with really easy pieces and soon wanted to get a lot better as i felt i has holding back on my abilities. i looked up some easy modern songs to play and your channel popped up. i instantly fell in love. soon at my school my music instructor said there was a place for a violinist to play a solo in front of thousands of people at a show outside my town. i had to play 2 good pieces and so i went to you. i played hanging tree (which is now my favorite thing to play on violin) and he's a pirate (which i made a few mistakes on in the audition but no one needs to know that) i got the solo and am really happy. i couldn't have done it without you or your channel. my show is tomorrow. thank you xxx

i tried doing vibrato using the same technique as you would do on a guitar (i.e. the movement is mainly from the knuckle rather than the wrist). And it sort of works...it sounds okay, but the whole violin will visibly bounce around all over the place. This seems wrong and also looks rather silly so I should probably quit messing around with that and wait until I am ready to do it properly! Thanks to this video I will have a better idea of when I have reached that point

You are absolutely correct, and that’s how I want to learn vibrato! My first teacher played guitar, teaching violin. He taught me the “ jackhammer vibrato”, and another way by bending the string sideways like a guitar. I did this until someone at the Highland games said it sounded like rubbish, and showed me like you teach it. I’m back to the beginning again. Thank you!

Thank you, Allison! I am just beginning to learn without a proper teacher and I was worried that if I didn't learn vibrato early on that it would be more difficult later, but it seems this isn't so. What a relief, because I am NOT good at it right now, and my bow starts skidding up and down the strings when I try :/ So I will cease and desist my vibrato-ing for the time being and just focus on good strong notes without screeching.

That's kind of reassuring to know that it might be too soon for me. Thanks! Wishing there was a download section for may be a kind of 'handout' notes. :) Need to write down those 5 points. If anyone wants, they could copy-paste from here to wherever they take notes. 1. Do you know the notes in the first position (open strings are ok). 2. Can you play without the aid of dots/tapes/stickers? 3. Is your left hand free while playing, without the palm holding the violin (guess it has to do with how firm the violin sits in the neck without having to additionally support it with the left hand) 4. Are u playing with the tip of your fingers pressing on the strings? and 5. Do you have good intonation (are u hitting the right notes and not a B-sharp!?)? Thanks Alison :)

I watched a lot of violin vibrato vids as a beginner and exactly nothing worked at first glance. I analyzed that my knuckles are just way too stiff and untrained... so i did stuff like holding one finger and moving the wrist away, whilst keeping the knuckle loose..... waving at myself in a backward move (arm stiff) which solved the problem with bowing and vibrato at the same time (movement became natural).... stuff you can do at work or anywhere (looks stupid)... 2 weeks non violin practice and i got a kind of decent vibrato. I am a fast learner but violin vibrato was a real challenge to trick/relax my fingers or better said my wrist. In my opinion, you shouldn´t start with vibrato... but doing yoga with your knuckles will make it 10 times easier once you wanna try it.

I've been playing for 6 months now. I've practiced every day for around 5 hours per week. I've mastered 1-4 but I recently got a new violin and didn't put stickers on it. My intonation needed some adjustment. It's net yet perfect but not bad. I use cleartune to assist with intonation. I've given vibrato a go for a few minutes here and there. I even managed a half second of half decent sounding vibrato. The weird thing is that I find myself doing vibrato in the guitar and singing, but no where near yet on the violin.

Hi Alison - I have the five basics down, and then some, having played the violin for more than two years now, but sad to say I still can't do vibrato. I know what you mean when you said, "Vibrato does make a violin sound a lot nicer..." I also play the harmonica, and being able to bend notes and use vibrato really brings the harmonica to that advance level. But whenever I try vibrato on the violin, it's not the violin that shakes -- but it’s my bow hand that involuntarily shakes. Until I can learn vibrato correctly, I'll continue to play my violin as a fiddle using, when desired, pizzicato and staccato in lieu of vibrato. BTW: I can do a fake finger vibrato on the violin, but (as you know) that doesn't count. 😉 🎻 ♫

Allison, I find your videos the best of all, and this lesson on vibrato has helped me greatly. I've been performing wrist exercises for about a year to develop a vibrato and am still not there, but I am patient because it's well worth the effort. I agree that vibrato should not be attempted until the basics such as intonation, bowing, etc., have been mastered. That was my mistake :(, I started too soon. Thanks for enlightening us. By the way I now use a metronome when practicing vibrato, it helps to develop consistency, at least I think so :).

I have been learning for 7 months, and I understand all the first position, including the half steps. Only the 4th finger is still a bit hard for me, yet I still can locate it. My wrist is on correct position also. My intonation is good. And I put nicely on my fingertips. I haven't stripped the marks on my fiddle, though still I can play 1st position with my eyes closed. I have tried small experiments for doing wrist vibrato. It works on my 2nd and 3rd finger on any strings, though I still need more control on bowing. Cuz, I feel awkward when moving both hands independently for having any vibrato. I need to strengthen my basic more, because when doing vibrato sometimes my fingertips slipped a bit higher, a fourth note I think.

@TheOnlineViolinTutor
5 жыл бұрын
I coud not disagree more! You most definitely should not be attempting vibrato after 4 lessons in - any teaching having you do that should not be teaching! You need a least a year because that is how long it takes to fully master and grasp the basics. This is not on a person to person basis, but based more on fact. You are struggling because you have only had 4 lessons and you do not have the basics under control. Learning vibrato at this early stage is very very damaging to future playing. You will shake the violin for a start so that will hinder and alter your posture and holding position. Your left hand will not be fully stable and secure - let alone you changing positions (you learn vibrato after positions) and so that will damage your proper grip hindering you later on when shifting. Your intonation will suffer because you will be learing to manipulate the note into using vibrato as soon as you play it, therefore you will not know truly where your finger goes on the fingerboard. Also, there is nothing you need vibrato for at this early stage. There is a reason why vibrato is not attempted too soon and your struggles are evident of that as your hand is nowhere near the level it needs to be to attempt something so advanced as vibrato. It could take less than a year for someone to 'get' the basics, but then you need to master them, not just get a handle on them. You can only learn through experience which is true in all walks of life. Hope that helps. Good luck with your playing 😀

I have been out of lessons for a year and I am doing a introduction lesson with a new teacher tomorrow, so I want to impress him by knowing vibrato

I started vibrato when I was 10 (fifth grade, or 3rd year of being a violinist). I just learned what It was called February of this year!! Currently, I'm about to finish my 5th year of learning violin, but I think I'm pretty good at it, despite the fact that *many people in my orchestra group are vibrato gods & goddesses and i can't do it without shaking my instrument hfbvjdfvjndfvjndfsndsidkj*.

I am quite advanced with playing with sheet music, because I already play flute for 7 years. Do you also have lessons for someone who already knows how to read music?

I just wanted to address one other wrong way that wasn't covered here. If you have played classical guitar or guitar in general first before introducing yourself to violin. You might have tendency to "arch" the string to make a vibrato. You would press down on the string, but then grind it on the fingerboard from left to right to make the sound. DO NOT do this. You have no fret to slide on, so you will inevitably grind grooves in your fingerboard, this will ruin it and you will have to have a luthier replace your fingerboard. Notice how she explained that the wrist hangs straight down. You don't do this with a guitar because the fingerboard is so wide. Do not be confused, this is not a miniature guitar, this is something totally different. The fingerboard is not flat it has an arch to it. Tippy top fingertips not pads. Focus on the wrist dropped and the bone inside your finger rocking back and forth and you will eventually get it.

Hi Allison, I love your tutorials! The are so very helpful! I have looked for a video on dealing with humidity and I haven't seen any. Maybe you have done one and I missed it? Well I live in a place in Canada where the temperature has been hanging around 40 (Celsius) with 90% humidity for weeks now (yes, "humid" has been the understatement of the summer!). My violin has been holding up with the Air Conditioning going but when I was playing at church yesterday I noticed the tone was WAY off. To make a long story short I tuned my violin to 430hz with my chromatic tuner and although the sound wasn't perfect it was much better. (I had to avoid playing pizzicato because it did not sound right but the sound when bowing improved) I don't know if anyone else has had to deal with anything like this but I expect many have! Do yo have any other tips for dealing with humidity or other elements? I am guessing retuning is an extreme measure?? Maybe some of your global online students have also dealt with this? Thanks for all your work and dedication to helping us struggling aspiring musicians around the world improve our playing!

Hi, I just started playing the Violin a couple of weeks (2-3) ago, and have been learning through self teaching..well of course by watching your wonderful violin tutorials, though I got my hands on a set of basic Suzuki book volume 1-5 ( but currently still in volume 1 of course). Watching violin covers (includes yours) really makes me want to get the hand of vibrato quickly :(, sounds so nice and really gives the piece a more some what "improving" sound...but I guess since I just started a month ago, I guess I shouldn't really yet start learning vibrato???.....and first learn all five volumes first???....

+Nex Kizhuna Hi Nex, please wait for vibrato. Even though your comment was made a while back, it is currently still too early (if you're still in book 1). You need to keep on the tapes for intonation, since you cannot do vibrato without intonation. If my teacher heard you trying to do vibrato with not very good intonation, she would stop you very quickly haha. Also, please be careful when learning vibrato! If you do it incorrectly, it is extremely difficult to correct it.

Hello dear Alison. Phil here, A new subscriber down in Australia. I am really enjoying your videos and learning a lot. I am 74 years old, play guitar and a little keyboard now and then and would love to have a go at a Viola. The two main student makes down here are Stentor and Raggetti. Do you have a preference? Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in your presentations you are amazing. Much love from down under, Phil. xxx

Thank you anyway Alison. I suspect that Raggetti is just another Italian sounding name used by the Chinese to add a dash of Europe to their product. They probably have a different name for the same product in the UK. I have a bathroom heater branded "Moretti' that was made in China. I will keep watching your videos and learning :-)
