VIBRATO: The Key to Unlocking Endless Expression - Violin Techniques

Can You Shape a Line WITHOUT Vibrato? 🤔 Vibrato is a great shader, but it easily becomes a crutch. Try this: play a phrase with no vibrato and get the expression only from the bow—adjust contact point, speed, and weight, play with articulation and distribution, then add vibrato back intentionally as color, not cover.

Why Your Vibrato Doesn’t SING 🗣️ Arm vibrato, wrist vibrato—doesn’t matter if the motion never reaches the fingertip. Set the finger so the last joint can flex, then roll the pad on the string (your true contact point) smoothly back and forward. If that joint’s stuck, the motion dies in the hand/arm and the sound never opens up. Get the fingertip roll right and your vibrato sings.
