It's going woo-woo-woo-woo to the air. Trying singing "loo" and add vibrato there. Then try it on the flute. Here is a video of the great flute player James Galway teaching a flute class how to produce vibrato! http://youtube.com/watch?v=u0ycw9xm0e4... It's important to practice vibrato everyday in long melodies. You can also try the Moyse vibrato long tone excercise. The goal of the excercise: Vibrato is like a wave. Make sure the top and the bottom are even and gradual. Set the metronome at 60. Play B for one beat to B-flat for 3 beat. (repeat it 2 times) Use 1 vibrato per beat. make sure you can do it evenly with great control. (do the excercise 2 times) then do 2 vibrato per beat, with the same care. (2 times) then do 3 per beat, (2 times) then 4 per beat, (2 times) then 5, (2times) then 6, (2 times) The next day, you will do B-flat for one beat to A for 3 beat. Use the same formular as above. Every subsequent day, go down chormatically. |
