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.

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 '

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.

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.
