How should I develop my vibrato on the violin?
116138
In your case, I think the best thing for you to do now is to find another good violin teacher. To be honest, there are so many ways you could do vibrato that it really varies with each person. Every person's hand is different, and their way of holding the violin is slightly different, so to just learn how to do vibrato over the internet won't help you. When you learn it by yourself, you could easily get into injury just because it's hard to relax the hand at first.

Choir is an excellent answer!you start out quiet and get louder as you get more comfortable...also they will teach you everything you need to know about breathing,tone,pitch..all that!Better than lessons...ITS FREE!!!!Let everyone be heard!!!\n               ****Good Luck****

I know I have a cello, but same thing .It still has a bridge and strings. So you have to be very careful  don't turn  the pegs all the way just turn them until you think your violin is tuned enough to play! Hint- while your turning the pegs always pluck the strings too see when it's in tuned! Good luck! I hope this website will help!

The way u can reach high tones is by practicing your do re mi fa so la te do all the way up and then push yourself to get higher until u get the right note thats what I do on the choir.

Demonic violin! Lol.  I agree that Pagannini sounds pretty demonic, I would add to that Bach's Concertos for two Violins.  \n\nIf you want to go with the obvious and away from Classical you have to add "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels band.

As a musician and teacher (although not a drummer), I think it is important to develop warmups that go along with what you will be working on during that rehearsal.  Some of the best are the one's you write yourself.  Warmups for beginners should include practice alternating hands, steady beat, and some syncopation.  Also, make sure that your students practice dynamic control with stick height and attack.  Rudiments are always good too.  Hope this helps.

What i do is put both hands on either side of the racquet on the strings and rub them thoroughly warming up the strings. You can also rub the racquet frame.

Assemble the trombone by carefully placing the screw-end of the bell section to the screw end of the slide and twist to form a right angle,with the bell facing away from you. Tighten. Place the mouthpiece on the remaining tube end on the slide and twist it in slightly.\nHold the assembled trombone by supporting the tubing around the screw-joint with the left hand and putting your right hand on the moveable part of the slide. Make sure the slide is "unlocked", and ready for movement (located above the screw-joint). Now you are ready to play!\nPick up the trombone. If you are right-handed, you need to make a gun with your left hand and have your index finger touching the mouth piece and your thumb around the bar right by it. Your other three fingers should not be in the same space as your index but one over. To hold the slide make the Star Trek's Vulcan "Live long and prosper" sign and put that at the top of the slide and bend your fingers slightly to hold on.\nBlow a "raspberry" to make a buzzing sound into the mouthpiece. Let your lips vibrate freely and you will get a fantastic sound.\nTo play higher, blow the air faster. To play louder, blow harder and more "openly." (Note: It will feel natural to tighten your lips and stomach to play higher. Resist this temptation, as it will lead to problems later.)\nIf you want to learn more than just how to mess about with it, there are seven positions for the slide, and different positions for your mouth. Combinations of these get different notes.\nIncrease your "range" of notes by practicing regularly (preferably once a day) and increase your lip flexibility by moving from one note to a higher one and back, gradually getting faster, and trying to keep an even sound. Improve how long you can hold your breath by practicing long notes.\n\nTips\n\nTake good care of your slide by spreading the inside very thinly with slide oil or cream when it gets stiff. A few squirts of fine water spray will add an extra touch of smooth moveability.\nTry not to dent your slide! It is very easily damaged and gets stiff if damaged\nPlaying long tones (holding one note for a long time) does two good things. 1) It will improve your tone. 2) By having to sit on one note, you will learn how to control your airflow. Ideally, you will have a constant flow of air.\nKeep the instrument in a playable condition; clean the inner slide off and re-cream/re-oil it regularly, bathe the bell section (yes, bathe, with luke warm water and some detergent), grease the tuning slide (at the "top") with vasaline or "slide grease" (they're both petroleum jelly), and if there is a valve, oil it with "valve oil" for brass instruments.\nThere is a spit valve on the end of your slide that you should press at the end of your practice every day to release condensed water.\nThe basic notes:\n3rd position: Put your index finger up and move your slide down until you hit the bell. The first low note you can play in this position is an A flat and the next higher note is an E flat. Try to hold each one as long as you can.\nThe next position is 4th, which you get to by putting your thumb up until it touches the bell. The first low note you can play on this is a low G and the next higher is a D. Try to hold each as long as you can.\nThe next position is 6th, in which you can play a C. You get to sixth by stretching your arm out a ways but not too far or you will reach 7th. The lower notes are harder from here to 7th. Try to hold the C as long as you can.\n\nWarnings\n\nRegularly take out your mouthpiece and put it back in. It gets stuck surprisingly easily and extractions are expensive.\nWhen laying down your horn, do not let it rest on the slide. This will cause it to eventually warp, requiring repairs.\nDo not jam the mouthpiece into your lips when playing. Over time, this can cause scarring, which will eventually diminish your performing abilities.\nNever

the best way to improve would be to practice. don't be too impatient. maybe start with songs that are a little under your level and gradually do harder songs. \n\nsheetmusicarchive.net is a great place for free sheet music. however, you can only look at and print 2 per day, but it's better than any other place you'll find. it has a great collection as well.

You have to work at it. Ask you director for some note exercises. you just build up to it. And NO you DON'T push it into your lips as hard as possible...WRONG that will just damage your sound all together. Just build up to it, it may take time but it is possible i got mine out my freshmen year (sophmore now). Just ask you director if they have or no of any note range exercises.

given that you have played the violin for five years you can already think at the grade 5 level presumably. if you take 2-3 three hours of practice everyday you can get to grade 8 in about 3-4 years. i would suggest you do grade 2 the first year, grade five the next, and in the next two years do grade 8, this way it will be comfortable for you and you shall learn well.
