Ex.1. 2:50 Ex.2. 3:42 Ex.3. 3:50 Ex.3. 4:53 Your channel jelp me so much! Thank you ! Your explanations are very clear and i can understand everything.I am learning viola professionally but i have problem with vibrato and this video helped me to overcome it.
This is a really helpful video. Knowing that the finger going up is the faster motion really helps. I'm going to practice everday and check back in 3 months.
Thanks so much for this. I recently came across your videos. Apart from the specific lessons you were teaching, I kept thinking, "This guy's vibrato is really nice! What is he doing?"
An incredible excercise to loosen the fist finger falange, thank you so much!!!! Always have struggled with vibratto and haven't had teachers that explain it very clearly
This is interesting, I don't teach this type of vibrato to beginning violists, is there a reason you start with finger/wrist vibrato? I was always told (and teach) arm vibrato first. Violin students, it's a different story!
I try not to differentiate between different vibratos and notice that different people gravitate towards different vibrato styles. I will make a video about this! Thank you for your comment and I am a fan of yours '
First of all, this video really helped me to develop a proper vibrato. Thank you very much for that! My vibrato tecnique is not really the problem at the moment. My issue is, that due to artritis in my left index finger, that finger is a lot stiffer than the others, which makes it harder to do a proper vibrato with that finger. Do you also have some tips or tricks to tackle that problem?
I think I need a bigger shoulder piece I'm having trouble keeping my violin stationary at my neck. When I try to do vibrato I end up shaking the whole violin lol I also seemed to be having trouble hitting my e chord without hitting the a simultaneously.
Challenge accepted! Starting today, 5-17-23! Question though - are you doing 1-8 daily? I did 1 and 2 only, for each finger on each string in 1st position. I'm guessing after the movement is natural, to advance beyond 2 in pairs (like 3 and 4, then 5 and 6, etc.)?
@@RonaldHouston I absolutely will, so this will be a post with updates, probably every 10 days. As of 5-27-24: The dpi of the fingers has always been loose for me, so I couldn't figure out why the vibrato was so shallow, until I realized a big issue - my left hand frame wasn't consistent - when I realized that I made sure my fingers were over the string, save the first, so when I started the exercise again, I was able to get that wide vibrato. I am practicing at m=50, because I have to relearn bad habits from when I played in college (a huge one is releasing pressure/relaxing the joint when going below the note, makes things much easier). That being said, I've been concentrating a bit on it everyday, while exercising patience, and I know it'll be successful.
Ah... Yes... That is my brandt style raised chinrest... So comfortable and available at my website... Violazone.com... violazone.com/products/frisch-and-denig-chinrest There is a video at the site... It had been a blessing to use this chinrest! Cheers!
Hi Ronald, I seem to be able to do it all apart from the very last part - the vibrato. I feel like it will never come, I just can't understand how you move so fast.
Finding this video helpful? Check out this other video covering vibrato!! ua-cam.com/play/PLrprmCr7kQUPjvPNYJ76pgEFmLizPM6HY.html&si=L1jxXHZpDbNWqVeb
Thank you, Ronald.
I will recommend that all of my violin and viola students refer to this video to refine their vibrato technique.
That is great!! Thank you
This is one of the clearest explanations of vibrato that I’ve seen. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I am not a musical instrument player, but I like your exercise on vibrato for viola.
Thank you so much

Can't wait to hear the result! Thanks so much for viewing the video. I'm glad it helps you
"Fast up" and "Slow down" is a great vibrato exercise technique.
hello professor, this exercise i practice for 3 weeks till now every day, every single exercise for 10 min. i've notice a really improvment.
Thanks so much for this. I recently came across your videos. Apart from the specific lessons you were teaching, I kept thinking, "This guy's vibrato is really nice! What is he doing?"
Thank you so much Sir.. Love from India.. Very helpful video..
Why don't you wipe off the rosin dust?
I know.. Right?
An incredible excercise to loosen the fist finger falange, thank you so much!!!! Always have struggled with vibratto and haven't had teachers that explain it very clearly
So glad this helps you!
I have both the Warming Up book and the DVD. You explain it better than Simon Fischer himself. Thanks a lot for this very helpful Video ❤️
Wow.. What a wonderful comment.. Thank you
Thank you Ronald!!
Of course!
Man, you really get into your viola. Look at all that rosin dust on the top plate under the strings there. You really play a lot.

You very much remind me of John Lovitz 😂 thank you for your lessons! I needed a reminder to drill these excercises so my vibrato doesnt get weird.
Sounds great... Which John lovitz movie do you like?
@RonaldHouston
well, mine is "Mom and Dad Save the World"!

Obrigado!!! pelo vídeo incrível
I'm so glad this helps you! Thank YOU
4:18 oh yeah.
THIS is what I needed.
That’s awesome! Thank you
Do you recommend learning the finger/wrist vibrato in 3rd position before progressing to 1st position?
If it is more comfortable for you
I think I need a bigger shoulder piece I'm having trouble keeping my violin stationary at my neck. When I try to do vibrato I end up shaking the whole violin lol I also seemed to be having trouble hitting my e chord without hitting the a simultaneously.
Ooh... You need to figure out the mechanics of your lh

Yes.. Take your time.. No rush..you will get there.. Keep me posted on your progress!

what is a metronome?? which one do you use??
I use tonal energy (te tuner). Watch my videos about it!
What kind of chin rest are you using? Thanks!
Ah... Yes... That is my brandt style raised chinrest... So comfortable and available at my website... Violazone.com...

Thank you very much! Heading there now.

Have patience! It takes a long time but you will get there
@@RonaldHouston is this the same for violin as viola?
Let's see you do your pinky on the c string
This video is infused with great vibes.
Good pun
Looks like your Viola got into the coke again, haha :P
Looking forward to trying some of these exercises 🎻
