- Learn Vibrato in 8 Steps
My goal is that by the end of this video, you can successfully have your hand moving in a relaxed, beautiful and SLOW vibrato.
The biggest thing to remember is that vibrato takes time to learn!
Start so slowly and make sure you have the correct hand movement. Then SLOWLY try moving faster. As you practice your vibrato, you'll notice you're able to put more and more movements into one bow until you find yourself actually moving your hand fast enough!
Give yourself grace and enjoy the journey!
I truly hope this helps someone with their vibrato!
If you're looking for a violin, this one is my absolute favorite:

I played the violin as a kid and did not play for 40 years. My daughter plays now and she has a beautiful vibrato; she plays better than I ever did and has inspired me to learn again. Vibrato always seemed quite a mystery until this video. I think I can follow these steps and get there, even at my age! Thanks!
Oh my goodness this made me cry. How absolutely beautiful!! 🥹🥰♥️
I tried so many times learning vibrato and I thought that I would never learn it then out of the blue I have been using the methods you taught in the video and I finally had a chance of learning vibrato. I was always a slow learner and thanks to this video I was the best violinist in my violin class thanks so much and pls send more videos like this 🎻🎻🎻
You are a natural excellent teacher. Thank you.
Thank you! 😃
Thanks, that lesson breaks it down into sizable chunks that I can focus in on. "Gluing" my wrist to the violin helps lots.
100%! It isolates the hand movement making it so much easier. So so glad this helped. 👍
Great lesson. I'm a returner - did grade VIII age 18, didn't find an outlet for violin compatible with medical school curriculum at university, and hardly played until I turned 63. I have a great teacher, taking me right back to basics. But she teaches arm vibrato, which doesn't come as easily to me as the wrist vibrato you teach. But, hey! I'll do my best to learn it, then I'll have both methods in my toolkit.
This is an incredible story! I’m so so glad you’re picking it back up and loving it!
I’m genuinely curious; is there a reason your teacher is specifically doing arm vibrato or is she cool with wrist vibrato as well? I’m always curious when teachers are very specific about something the reasoning behind it.
I’m a violinist from Ghana 🇬🇭 and I never play with vibrato because I don’t know how to do it but today, you’ve taught me thanks
This makes me so happy!!
Thank you so much! It has been hard for me to learn vibrato but this really helped!
I'm so glad!
I'm still learning and only been self teaching for 2 and a half years. I simply wanted to learn it the original way.
Awesome breakdown. You make the whole thing clear. Thanks!
I’m so so glad!!! Thank you!!!
You are way more advanced and I enjoy your teaching videos. I had a lot of trouble with them and want to do it like my grandfather did. Thank you for your teaching videos.i do learn from them and they have helped me a lot.😅
You are a gem. This is one of the best tutorial for vibrato. Thank you
I have one month learning violin, an d I was wondering how they vibrates wrist without shaking the hand entirely.
Thanks for blending vibrato into a nice smoothie.
I am much happy because I was taking a different route.
Make sure you have a super solid learning base on your violin before starting vibrato! But when you do, I just made another vibrato video with some tips on how to make sure your violin doesn’t shake! czcams.com/video/u0tcbrzmhqs/video.htmlsi=gwGTxTrU-AOy4Ume
Dear @ Cindy Wells, you and I may have something in common, i gave up after 6th grade because a. I couldnt tune well and b.couldnt read music. I also had a 40 year gap approx from 1972 or so to about 1980. Thats when i dragged out my great grandfathers violin and rehaired its only bow with black mares tail. I counted out 288 strands and used masking tape to create a hank to plug into the mortice. Anyway dont give up like I did; my teacher demoralized me to my mother saying he doesnt have fast twitch he, ll never amount to any thing on the violin. I have been practicing vibrato since 2 years ago in the summer. Nicola Benedetti is correct when she says your journey will have ups and downs relish the pain. So dont give up. Loosen those shoulders up, clasp hands behind your back and bring over head, that will loosen your neck arms and fingers. Be gentle andgo easy. That may help.thats 40 years i could have been practicing. You and i both! Just do 5 min a day and work up to 15 min every day and dont over do it. If you hurt yourself youl be apt to guve up. Make sure your bridge feet dont have any gaps at contact area. 328mm is the fundamental string length nut edge to bridge front edge. Good luck!😅
Thanks for the tips I learned instantly. Apparently I was just not doing my finger position, right
This video also taught me how to practice the violin vibrato that I want to study and teach. Thank you very much for this exercise, teacher.
So amazing!!
Thanks😊
So glad I’ve found you. You are appreciated ✨
So glad you did too!!
Thanks so much Corrie for the tips. They have worked wonders for me…a much more freed up wrist and my vibrato is freer too. Great tip about the finger movement…relaxed going forward and into the finger board going back. Great work.
So amazing!!! I’m so glad it helped!
Thank you for your very clear instructions. I am just beginning violin and really appreciated how clearly you describe and show how to do vibrato. Thank you so much!!
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much teacher corrie its so clear
I'm so glad!
You are the best!
Aw thanks 🙏
Hey I just wanted to say thank you so much for this I’ve watched your videos for sometime and this one was the best its gonna help me so much for my middle school concert
Amazing!!
OMG you’ve really helped me when I was trying to learn this skill. Wanting to give you a really big thanks to you❤😃
Aww yayyy! 🥰
Thank you very much for this technique. !
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!! Looks like I'll finally get it!!
😭♥️ yayyy!
You are a fantastic teacher! Wish I had you as a kid when I played. I dropped it after 4 yrs sadly. I believe I can do this now with your help! I live in a condo currently and need a silent violin for practice. Any suggestions? Thank you!
I live in a condo too and don’t practice with a mute. A mute really alters the sound of the violin and masks any issues actually going on. If you feel you really need one occasionally, a practice mute works great.
I have used a heavy metal mute for years…works really well..for all my practice. Recently I thought , sod it, I’ll ditch the mute and the neighbors can put up with my music. Overnight my playing improved and I get so much more satisfaction now and can express myself so much more.
Use a practice mute can help greatly in reducing the volume
OMG I'm so happy I kinda did it (slowly)! Thank you!! Vibrato is pretty hard but your explaining really helped ! :)
Ahhh yayyyy!!!! 🥳
Thank you, this was such a great step by step on how to start with vibrato! I had been finding it so tricky just getting the wrist movement, but this has helped so much and I appreciate how you broke it down! :) I will definitely be practicing this a bunch!!
I have a question - eventually when we get familiar with the movement and increase speed, how should we go about practicing with our wrist not against the violin? I tried this briefly and found it was more difficult and feels different from when the wrist is against the violin
Great question!! Keep practicing in fourth position while you’re getting the movement down. Once you’re comfortable with it, move it down to first keeping the same position.
this is great thank you :)
So glad!
I got it perfect when I was watching your video
This made me so happy!!!!! 🥹
I am subscribing your channel
This Video is very helpful thankyou teacher ❤
Thank you!! 🙏
Wow that was really informative
Hope it helped!
Hi I was wondering if you subscribe to the theory that in order to end thumb choking on the neck of the violin you must use a shoulder rest.thanks Corey!😅
These are all good pointers ( though it is quite possible to do vibrato without using a shoulder rest because it is a matter of balancing on the collarbone and allowing the hand to support the violin at the other end- many many great players have beautiful vibratos without using a shoulder rest, although some have a small pad or sponge to help with stability of the violin) but at 12:52 you get into the hardest part for most students- the ability to let go of the support of the wrist against the rib and not let the wrist cave in like a pancake. That is actually the trickiest thing to establish and doing the previous steps does not guarantee when the student lets go of the rib that they can control that. Would you consider doing another video that addresses that issue at greater length? What I have found essential is that students must understand how they are moving and realize the movement does not involve pushing the wrist up from underneath. They can only see this in a mirror watching themselves to train their hand to only go back and forward so the wrist does not independently push up flat underneath the neck. This requires careful observation and gentle control of the muscles. That is where students need to be patient (the teacher too!) as they understand how their brain gets their body to move appropriately.
💪
This is the best video of vibrato I've seen so far ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 thankyou so so much Corrine mam this helps alot god bless you and your kind folks and have a great weekend
So amazing!!!
Thank you miss, I appreciate the advice!
You're so welcome!
this is great thankyou! i've got it down to the point of transitioning from having my wrist glued to not, any tips?? Xx
Move it down to first position so it forces you to not have your wrist glued anymore.
My finger is not falling back and going flat it too stiff😢
Vibrato should be a super relaxed movement!
Hi Corey! Is it the top crease middle crease or bottom crease of the wrist.? I like your clear teaching methods. Im just previewing your method i will play later. One teacher just says contact with the upper.bout. the other fleshy part of palm touches top plate annother wrist creases contact lower bout, so if you know accepted way sure would like to know. Thank you for your very clear examples, i may settle on your method of finger vibrato. Even though you involve the wrist crease. Thank you again.sincerely c.e. usa. 6 28 24, 5:10pm😅
I taught myself vibrato from watching my teacher so I’m just trying to refine it
Amazing!!
Ciao bella lezione,bisogna imparare a coordinare la mano destra con la sinistra
💯
I'm 63, and have been playing guitar for 50 years. Vibrato on the electric guitar and classical guitar are quite different techniques, but neither of them rely on a mobile finger tip joint - I'm struggling with that! 😢 (fiddling for 5 years - it's so hard!)
Yesss getting that distal joint moving is the most important thing for violin vibrato. But gosh that’s not a natural movement at all 😂
I keep moving the violin and automatically do a death grip with my thumb. And once I move faster i can’t do the donut to spaghetti - my finger stiffens up
:(
I feel like I’m forcing that motion and can’t do it relaxed
Have any tips for that?
A huge tip is gently placing your scroll against a wall. It helps to stabilize your violin so you can isolate your hand and focus fully on your vibrato.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته انتى رائعه
Video de.....hacer vibrato ó de como acomodarse el pelo.?
3:35 😂
Aku cinta padamu
How much pressure do you apply to the strings when learning vibrato?
Full pressure on the donut, light pressure on the spaghetti.
Hey girl ur a really great teacher but I can't get to the glueing my wrist on the violin it doesn't really work for ...any tips ?
I use the “glued wrist” method to isolate the wrist to create wrist vibrato. It’s possible you might be more comfortable with arm vibrato?
I have been learning vabrato for only 3 days now and my teacher doesn't teach vabrato so I'm learning by my self and j think I figured out how to use the glueing wrist method .thanks so much !!❤️
@@AashnaGomes amazing!!!!
This didnt work i cant work the part where you move one part of finger up and down please give tips
For sure! Start super slowly! Watch your hand in the mirror. Make sure the movement is correct. Then start speeding it up. Hope this helps!
is the tecnique same as acoustic guitar ?
Noo not quite
when i move my hand into spagheti i hit the pegs. am i doing it wrong?
I always practice this in 3rd-4th position.
I can't even afford shoulder rest
I'm broke af 😢
I only had nickels to pay for my gas at one point in my life and couldn’t even afford a candy bar. Good thing is it can only go up from here!!
Lesson starts at 3:50 good lord
Sorry I’m a chatty Cathy in this one 🫠
😢i can't
It’s okay! Vibrato takes a little while to learn. Don’t get discouraged!
12:55 its hard 😢
Practice slowly and work it up to faster 👌
Its all good till i take my wrist of the violin and start doing arm vibrato 😭😭
It’s okay! Arm vibrato is great too!
The video starts at 4:00 ….
😂 I talk a lot 🤦🏼♀️
When you said make sure you have a shoulder cheater . I disagree with that. Me and many others learned without one
Less talking more teaching
😂👍
Too many directions for one task. Forget the cute girl. Find direct I formation.The glued wrist idea is what every player wants to avoid. The wave concept is not new.
Depends on what kind of vibrato you are using. Gluing is how I learned my vibrato as well. I am a professional violinist and performer
I’m not trying to present any “new” concepts here. Just proven techniques that have worked for myself and others to learn vibrato. Totally understand if they don’t work for you! There are so many amazing violin teachers on CZcams that you could look at for other vibrato ideas! It’s not a “one size fits all” technique. Good luck!
Do it yourself -the bad idea!Go to professional,do not listen a stupid blabbing from some ..people it is not a vibrato and not a way to teach it.Glue you brain to something-helps a critical thinking!
Um, what? Lol
@@CorrietheviolinistDear Corrie this comment shows that you’re in the very right way fortunately there is someone like you on CZcams who share her knowledge with us bigheartedly. Some of us think that they will do vibrato just in seconds which makes lol.
@User-fc21-Isd As a violin teacher and a performer, there’s nothing wrong with the way she teaches. The thing that’s problematic is your attitude. Maybe that’s why you don’t know how to do it 😅
