[Menvi-discuss] Violin vibrato

[Dewald]

Hi List.
I've started to pick up some violin again after some years.
I've rented a violin, and did a course, learning songs by ear.
I've searched online and Youtube how to add vibrato. But it's all visual!
Can someone explain to me, maybe off-list how exactly to do it, wrist 
movements, etc?
Also, if someone has suggestions and tips how to hold the violin without 
using a shoulder rest. I didn't get a shoulder rest when i rented it.
Good or bad, i don't know.
But my left arm gets sore and my hand gets a bit sore too holding it in 
that position.
I know i'm not supposed to bend my wrist.
Some tips would be appreciated.
I'm actually a pianist, but wanted to learn to play the violin since 
it's such a lovely sound.
At the moment i'm still getting used to placing my fingers on the right 
spots, but i'm getting that right now.

Thanks,
Dewald.
