hi professorV, how do you move your wrist? Is it side by side or back and forth? I'm trying to watch closely on the video but I cannot catch up which direction you move your wrist hehe. Thanks!

Hi lounacandelaria, this video is really about the fingertip motion in vibrato. Watch my videos on wrist/hand and arm vibrato for the other motions. Good luck.

Really great! After playing 'cello for over 4 decades, I just bought a new violin, and this really gives me a lot of hope and joy. HUGE fan of classical music, and rock (KANSAS) and jazz-fusion (Jean-Luc Ponty) as well! MANY many thanks for your great lessons!

Hi Beamshipcaptain, thanks for your kind post and good luck!

Sir you are by far the clearest of all the tutorial vids. you know exactly what you are doing and such a level of clarity can only come from experience. We appreciate with much gratitude your efforts to put up your videos. THANK YOU.
