So professor, last time I wrote to you, I told you that I will give this new technique a try. Well I did and.... GOT SUCCESS !!! now I can do vertical vibrato with much ease. And of course I have also graduated from vertical vibrato to horizontal vibrato. I am still in the process of upgrading the latter. I need to work hard with horizontal vibrato. But it is surely coming but by bit. Thanks professor for giving me courage to proceed with vibrato. I have completed my first month with violin and mastered vertical vibrato and rudimentary horizontal vibrato. I think my progress Is satisfactory. What do you say professor? Oh one think I should admit, I learned violin for two years 30 years back and then left it completely. This time as I wrote you, I completed my first month.
.
That's fantastic Sumit! Congratulations! Please, post your fantastic comment on this videos' dedicated page on VSM, so that Prof. Fitzpatrick will be able to answer you: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/just-vibrato/

I am 50 years old, stiff as rock, but I always wanted to learn how to play the violin, I think with your technique, I just might make my dream come true.
Thank you Prof. Fitzpatrick.

Thank you anaad, we must definitely need to keep trying and I wish you the best of luck learning too, I know it can be done, it;s just how bad we want it :)
Thank you for your comment.
enaad zahrani I'm 12 and I'm struggling even more
Do start playing and good luck with that dream
Great story. I took up piano 3 years ago and can now play Chopin Liszt and other classical pieces at age 58. I took violin when I was 8 to 10 and never could do verbato. I recently took out my violin and started to practice and today for first time I vibrated. It was not great verbato but it is a start and I believe your lesson helped. Please keep it going! Thank you.
Oh, maestro you are such a blessing and your voice is so soothing, thank you for your kindness and your valueble wisdom. May God bless you always!

Thank you William no gripping squeezing
Such a lovely story of how you eventually got your vibrato - in your sleep!
Surely at 10years old, you did not live by yourself? Did your parents or siblings or students in the dorm wake up from your perfect vibrato notes in the middle of the night? 🤔🤔 🎻❤
Please, ask your questions on this video's page on VSM so Prof. Fitzpatrick can answer you: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/just-vibrato/
Prof. Fitzpatrick, I love your story. Now to see if I can do it. :D Thank you.
Imagine you sleep and in your dream you see that a combination of 6 numbers is going to win you a jackpot in the National Lottery (don't know if it still functions in the UK). You wake up still remembering the numbers and rush to the nearest terminal to place your bid. And then comes Saturday and you feel so excited! And... nothing happens - the "wrong numbers" are drawn.
On the other hand if you wake up knowing how to vibrate and it doesn't work out in real life you can always repeat: "They say it doesn't happen overnight." - which is literally what it is :-)

That's kind of cool, in a way. I've had many dreams that have brought very special things to simple fruition for me, but i can give an example of one time when it was a very, very bad thing. I was a competitive swimmer for 14 years. I swam before school, during school lunch and after school.. and I had a pool at home. I was basically living under the water 24/7. I became a very proficient "Butterflier" (nobody wanted to do it, so my coach made me do it until I ended up loving it)... anyway, often times my dreams involved water. "LIfe" underwater, so to speak. I would dream about everything that you could or would do in a day... only 'underwater' .. these dreams became a huge part of my life as they seemed to make me an even more proficient swimmer as I was just so comfortable: Under the Water. Well, one night I had a dream (inevitably) that I could "breathe" underwater. It had to happen, right? I mean, what better way to become an even better swimmer than to NEVER have to come up for air? Well, I woke up believing I could breath under water, jumped up out of bed and straight into my backyard swimming pool and proceeded to take a HUMONGOUS breath... 'underwater' Needless to say, not only did I look at my dreams differently, I also made sure that I continued to practice my strokes with my intermittent breathing techniques "above" water.....
For vibrato - you can tell you students to pretend you hand and fingers is made out of rubber and you use your wrist to squeeze the rubber hand.

Dear Mr. Fritzpatrick. It is amazing to learn from you. Mr. Fritzpatrick, May I ask a violin from you? I like to learn and play violin but I cannot because I do not have violin. I want to buy violin but It is very expensive. Would you like to give me a violin ? Thanks in advance Mr. Fritzpatrick.
Please, post your questions to Prof. Fitzpatrick on this videos' dedicated page on VSM otherwise he won't be able to answer you: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/just-vibrato/
THANK YOU! I have been searching high and low for a vibrato lesson that would click with me, and after trying your trill to vibrato exercise, I found it! It will take some refining in order to make it sound beautiful, but I think I can finally express myself on the violin, as I do on the oboe. Thank you again!
That's great Maria! Be sure to check out all other videos by Prof. Fitzpatrick, I am sure you'll find more interesting and useful videos for you: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/

Fantastic video. I haven't tried to use vibrato yet as, I"m a beginner and I have been focused on reliable intonation, but I juts have to give this vibrato ago now. :)
Yet another very good and super useful video lesson. Thanks

THANKS PROFESSOR YOUR TIPS ARE MOST HELPFUL . EXTREMELY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SHARING THESE INSIGHTS. EXCUSE CAPS KEYBOARD PROBLEMS.
You are very welcome!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! These after just a couple minutes of those exercises I was able to get it!

I think that's the best method, starting with only few movements. It's like starting with push ups: I'm not gonna do 20 of them the first day. The job on the finger board is very hard for the hand. It takes time but fortunately I have vibratophobia since I was a child. I even refused to start on the violin at age 13 although I loved Handel. But I was ready to do it at age 40 when I realized that you don't need vibrato in ancient music. So now I play violin and love it. But violin vibrato still scares me away. Not the vibrato of wind instruments. I just can't stand a vibrating violin.
Good idea lesson....I'll try thx
Great!
This video was not only helpful, but also entertaining! I found his storytelling approach to be very effective, ad I was tuned in for every minute too. I can now do vibrato thanks to this video!
I should also make note to the gentleman in the video as well, that your French is very good!
Professor I will give this new technique a try. I am an adult beginner and vibrato is difficult to me. Hope your technique would work for me. Thanks.
how's going
Thank you, very interesting!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the outstanding video, you could make a video about arm vibrato too?

Virtual Sheet Music ok so basically you don't actually respond to the comments you just paste in the same one for anything asked oh well. 😓 I did have a question but I only need to look at every response to know what you will say it's to bad because I think this video could have helped me more if I could actually ask something.
You are the best violin tutor! Thank you sir!God bless you...🙏
Wow, thank you!
Great video!!

Interesting lesson! Thanx!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you, I think this might be very helpful. I already do a trill really easy, from my folk guitar hammer on days, but I never thought that that could be my way into learning vibrato. Can't wait to approach it this way. Thanks again!
💓💓💓✊😁💓✊😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Fitzpatrick, hank you for video on the vibrato. I am not here yet to learn this, but I am working on learning e concept of it and will practice the "trills" to try to learn it. At 45 years old, knowing only that music is what comes out of speakers, I now know, form the last weeks of self study - thanks to the internet and all those, as yourself, who share their information - I am learning how to play the viola. Thanks again
That's great to know Kevin! Keep it up! Be aware though that Prof. Fitzpatrick rarely read comments here on UA-cam. If you want to be sure he reads your comments, please, post them on the videos' dedicated page on VSM: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/just-vibrato/
What is the name of the music in the begining of the video?
KingUnitato The music at the background in the beginning is Meditation from Thais by Jules Massenett
thank you
Thank you William for the tutorial. By the way the sewing as it appears in sewing machines was the product of a dream inspiration to solve the problem. I am sure my wife would be delighted (not) if I would spring out of bed at night to try my hand at vibrato on the violin after an inspirational dream :) . Will try out your technique.
You are more than welcome! Prof. Fitzpatrick seldom see comments here on UA-cam, but we'll let him know. If you wish to ask him any direct questions, please, post your comments/questions on his dedicated page on VSM: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/

Prof. Fitzpatrick, each time I listen to this specific UA-cam, I want to share this with you and now I am going to! How you said that you dreamt about how to vibrate, woke up and how you got your violin case out under the bed and did play a perfect vibrato for the very first time? Here is what I have been wanting to say for many years: Read Ps 127:2. I think it is exactly what happened. God gave the ability for you to vibrate while you slept!
Glad to know that Eugenie! We'll let Prof. Fitzpatrick know about it. If you wish to get in touch directly with him, please, post your questions to this videos' dedicated page below:
www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/just-vibrato/
Prof. Fitzpatrick will answer you right away.
Mr. Fitzpatrick, I am so impressed and delighted watching your videos. I have watched millions,(I exaggerate) of videos on how to vibrate but , to no avail. Then I switch from my cheap shoulder rest and bought a Kun rest. I suddenly had a vibrato since I felt my hand was more free from supporting my violin. Thank you for taking your valuable time and helping others realize their dream of playing the violin.
Hi and Thanks! I would like to invite you to have a look at my new "Violin Connections" videos subtitled in English, Spanish and French at violinconnections.selz.com … Stay tuned!
Thank you

Greetings & thank you for your videos!!! I am self-study for 1 yr 4 mos & I am trying to understand the mechanics of vibrato. I have been practicing vibrato exercises mainly on fingers 3 & 2, usually on my A&E strings. Although I do not fully understand the motion yet, I do believe this video & your video "What are Rotations on Violin?" are helping me understand the 'proper' physical mechanics of the gesture. I have already started practicing trills & finger slides, so I do think that has helped w/the exercises you mentioned. Thank you again - I'm looking forward to finding my vibrato!!! :)

I could listen to you all the time. Your lessons are full of love and kindness. I have been learning the violin for 13 months, I am 43 years old and I dream of vibrato.
Wonderful, thank you!
Sir
I have been trying to improve vibrato but still have not reached up to the mark so please guide me
Thank you 🙏🏼

JM Ministry they don't actually respond to any questions or comments they paste in the exact same response for anything asked by anyone. it's kind of silly to even respond saying anything when they have no intention to actually respond with any sort of helpful response.
Thanks a Lot!, Excelent explanation, Im a violin teacher, this technique really healp me understand another view and perspective for my students! Great!

Thank you Dr. Fitzpatrick, I find your different approaches to technique "issues" to be very creative and when one thinks about it, is also pretty much common sense coming from different angles. I'm very new to violin after having played guitar for many years and I find you, among only a couple others here on youtube, to present concepts that I find effective easy for me to grasp and apply.
Thanks so much,
Mark

This gives me hope, thank you.
Can't recall the exact examples, maybe one of the benzene ring, the chemist saw monkeys in his dream,creating a circle holding one another's tail... But there are many examples when someone is obsessed with a problem, and the solution comes in a dream... Need pencil paper ( or violin) at the bedside, though, because by the morning these enlightened moments disintegrate in thin air...
Love how you demonstrate the vibrato 😍

I have been trying to teach myself to do a vibrato using all kinds of online material and I was about to give up. But I saw your video and within 15mins I was able to do a vibrato! Thank you so much for your guidance!
That's great! Glad it was helpful.
great video & the mic!
Dear Professor I' ve just started last week to have violin lessons for the first time in my life and this evening I started doing some sort of vibrato which is for me like walking on the waters.
Your lessons are so helpfull and well structurated.
Thank you and with compliments.
Glad you find them helpful! :)
Wow. Thank you
You are very welcome
Is it all right to bend the wrist towards us? It makes it easier to play. But I wonder why this method is discouraged by many teachers online?
Yes, that's usually not advisable because implies a wrong position of the whole right arm. This video can help to understand how to bend the wrist (a really minimum and natural bent!) ua-cam.com/video/A7dv-YzV8a8/v-deo.html
Thank you Professor !😍💖💖

Sir,
I discovered this technique of my own and I concluded that as an adult beginner, I am doing a bad/ wrong practice .However the sound quality was good so I continued. My teacher did not stop me from it. Friends and some teachers in you tube told / wrote I am wrong. However I carefully watched your video repeatedly and concluded that I am in right path. Thanks a lot professor. Now I know violin learning us a dynamic process and techniques can be invented. Your video truly gave me courage to go forward. Thanks again professor.
That's fantastic to know Sumit! Please, make sure to get in touch with Prof. FItzpatrick on VSM, he loves to get feedback and questions from violin learners as well as any violin lover: www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/william/
you are a very educated teacher! I'm an 11 year old who doesn't have a violin, but im getting one! And thanks to you, I already know how to perform a vibrato note before i even have a violin thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude just teach vibrato why you telling us your life story
thank you
