L4 Vibrato
Dear Teacher
I have start learning Vibrato. After 2 weeks of very hard work I realize this exercise is very challenging for me and I love it. I failed my first "Final Playing Example" because I make ya-ya type vibrato. Well ! I return to videos and listen carefully. You said we need to have a strong tremolo. When I try to POP my throat very hard, my diaphragm bounce a little. its is correct?
I try to relax my tongue but I have sum problems do to this because I think I have to contract the end of the tongue to cover left holes ( tongue blocker )
I just want to confirm with you. Vibrato arrive only when you prepare de bend and you make "ha-ha-ha-ha-ha" with throat without any other muscles.
Very difficult for me to explain im sorry
Do you think its a good idea to record myself with each holes 1 to 5 and send it to you for analize in a couple of mounts ? I think its possible to continue my lesson normaly and practice my vibrato 15-20 min everyday ..?..
thank you
You're welcome to send me a recording if you wish. Absolutely continue your lesson normally, but practice vibrato only 3 min every day.
Hello Mr Bourgeois. Yes, "Vibrato arrive only when you prepare de bend and you make "ha-ha-ha-ha-ha" with throat without any other muscles." Don't stress over this though, vibrato can take years to develop... with some players never achieving one. Keep working on it, but be happy with the tremolo right now, it's what most players use.
