From the preface
Erdmute Maria Hohage
More than 25 years ago, I got the experimentation bug and I haven’t stopped since. In this book I would like to present at least a modest contribution in the form of practice ideas for arm vibrato. They are intended to be regarded as additional material to complement what has already been published. They aren’t based on any specific method, and they don’t represent a particular point of view of what is right or wrong. Rather they are intended as suggestions that everyone can take on board, adapt and develop further. They do, however, start at a certain point (Ivan Galamian). They do have one clear goal in mind (improving the independence of our right and left sides, while incorporating the whole body). And they are forced to deal with the dilemma of separating a small aspect (arm vibrato) from a large whole (instrumental technique on the high strings) in order to bring it into focus in some useful way.
Vibrating: All types of vibrato
We are also very interested in the other types of vibrato and the topic of vibrating and vibrato in general. Find out more on our vibrato page.
