While learning the basics of violin vibrato can be made simple and easy, a professional level violin vibrato is something that will take a greater amount of care and practice.
But you can learn it! All you need it to understand how to develop Control, Consistency, and a lack of tension in your vibrato motion, and you'll be well on your way to producing the violin vibrato of great violinists.

You are such a wounderful teacher, full of motivation and kindness on your explanations! Thank you for all your sharing.
being a "jazz" violinist it's a relief to have the option to vibrate how I want (hahaha), however I am always striving to develop a more classical vibrato, ...and while knowing all the most common exercises, I love all these kinds of "little" tips to integrate and work on. Btw, my vibrato suffers the most when playing in front of a listening room as opposed to background, cocktail style performances. The nervousness does weird things to my vibrating muscles, even though I don't suffer from 'shaky' bow as much anymore.
The development of control that you mention is really the key for me, so that no matter the circumstances, my muscles will obey my command and do what they are able to do in the practice room but in front of an attentive audience,
thank you for this!

Vibrato is the seasoning.👌
Will you do a video on how you go about memorizing music? Performing from memory is probably my greatest music related fear and there doesn’t seem to be much helpful information about the topic from violinists online.
Jelly d’Aranyi recalled Joseph Joachim's advice, “Never too much vibrato! That’s circus music.”
The shift was interesting. We have recordings of Joachim and Sarasate, though they were both quite old at the time. Vibrato is very present, though not as much as today.
Ysaye was the first "modern" violinist in this regard, where vibrato became much a part of the personality of the violinist. This was solidified with Kreisler, and then Elman, using their unique, throbbing vibrato constantly. They had such a big impact that, since then, violinists have mostly used vibrato in this way, with a few exceptions
Well done for all this intensive practice!
Thank you ❤ my vibrato is also wide and slow, i should learn wrist vibrato 😝

Speaking as an amateur pianist ...
God, violin is so hard!
Speaking as a professional violinist, ‘Piano (music) is so hard, pianists are better musicians!’

In so far as you are a professional violinist, it ought to be completely obvious to you that violin is much harder than piano.
cant wait to see you today
I get pumped up when a new video comes out!

Brilliant Tobiah! Thank you so much. G Ire (adult student)
I approve of this (entire) message.
Thanks

I noticed that too
Nice video. Now im a folk musician, and vibrato is rarely if ever used in that genre.
However i always wanted to learn to vibrate tones since done correct it does add a lot to a musical piece. But im quite certain i am too stiff in my hand wrist to do a vibrato. I have watched your instructional videos, but i just dont have the motion/range and relaxation in my hand/forearm.
Those comments are exactly my music and my problem.
Each string of the violin must have a different width and oscillation of vibrato according to its natural frequency...
Bro I just to learn how Hilary Hahn's vibrato is so good at the end of the fingerboard 😭
Vibrato is only like seasoning in that the whole violin world is used to it so that's what you are used to. It's like American food with extra sugar, where American's now have to have sugar in everything that becomes their default taste. Isabelle Faust sounds so much better and purer than the soupy and/or spasmodic sound that the violin world is used to.
😊
I think you’re referring to leopold auers book violin playing as I teach it, he said it is tasteless to use vibrato all the time and it makes the food bland in his vibrato/ left hand portion of the book.
It's been a while since I read his book and I don't remember that bit, but that is interesting considering Auer played with fairly constant vibrato and his two most prominent students (Elman and Heifetz) had some of the most constant and intense vibratos.
In Flesch's book, as well, he comments on the change that happened in his lifetime of using vibrato sparingly to constant use. He didn't have a strong opinion on it, but wondered whether or not it might have something to do with being in a more "decadent" age
It's the "high note face"
Re: tension
How many pro violinists have low body fat and do 100 pullup exercises a day so that the holding up of the arms is effortless?
Is there even 1 pro violinist who has high body fat?
David Oistrakh, Isaac Stern, Mark Peskanov, Itzhak Perlman, Eugene Ysaye, and Josef Gingold were all pretty fat.
As for today's violinists, the image is as much as the package as your playing, so a lot of them do try to look good, but while violinists should exercise, being physically fit has little to do with your playing abilities
more sunscreen! :D
How do u do arm vibrato and why use it?
here's my three reasons
left fingers
left hand
left arm
xd
Well. . .you're not wrong!
A wise professor once told me "Vibrato is the life of the music and lack of it makes the music dead."
Am I the only one that thinks the opening Murphy Music Academy video is slightly out of tune?
Probably
No, you’re not. I commented on it in another video about a year ago. I think he has re-recorded it since then, and the uppermost octave sounds better. But the middle section to me still sounds a bit out of tune. Since harmonics comprise such a large portion of each note’s tone quality, being even the tiniest bit off can deaden the overall tone of a passage. I’ve been a teacher for many years. I don’t have perfect intonation myself all of the time, but I can recognize it & teach it. It is a never ending quest for some of us, sadly.
