[professorV]

@LunaticLucario, Yes, absolutely.

do u recomend wrist or hand for a someone who is just learning vibrato?

[professorV]

Hi AnarchismDizzy, Wrist vibrato (also called hand vibrato) is the place to start. Arm vibrato can really be great, but requires a lot more effort to produce, making it harder on the body.  If possible, learn wrist first and then augment with arm.

I began learning the vibrato a few weeks ago and i was able to produce a wrist vibrato. Then i tried an arm vibrato but 2 minutes in, my left upper arm begins to feel sore. And when i try to speed it up, it just turns into a wrist vibrato. Can you please give me some advice on this? :)

[ilovetodraw555]

which way do you vibrato?

[divyarandom99]

professorv, do professionals use hand or wrist vibrato? I can do both, but i don't know which one to use. What do professionals usually do? I know through experience that hand vibrato is a lot harder

[anxiety00nihil]

why do arm vibrato is more easier than the wrist for me?

i learned it just a few minutes(not perfect, but can create vibrato)?

do finger vibrato exists(unknown vibrato that i used but sounds perfectly,and it defies the rule of playing the violin)

[ljbolanos08]

for just clearing the idea

[ljbolanos08]

@professorV what is the difference with arm vibrato into a wrist vibrato?

[TheAwesomeFizz]

the battle for endurance... ugh

[PhtmoftheOpra]

Is it possible that having carpal tunnel in the left wrist will inhibit my ability to do wrist vibrato? I've played violin for seven years and still can't do vibrato.
