Do you listen to your vibrato when you practice a solo? Are you sure that you are in control of your vibrato? I think the answer to those questions is a resounding no! For many flutists, the vibrato “job” is done once it sounds good and you can play with vibrato without thinking about it.

But our job is not done. Vibrato has a way of sneaking on and off notes. Sometimes a vibrato is on some notes, but not on other notes. We must learn to control vibrato. It should be used as a tool for beautiful color on solos, not just a mundane action that occurs without thought.

Once you begin to really listen to your vibrato, you may notice your vibrato falls into one or more of my pet peeve categories and then, it will begin to drive you crazy!

At some point or another we all have fallen into a vibrato trap. It is now time to break free!

Have fun working on your vibrato!

Have Fun!
