Learn Vibrato - April 2025
Get started on your journey to vibrato with 10 weeks of step by step instruction and exercises to enhance your playing.
One of the most asked questions I get from students is how to do vibrato!
Imagine being able to play your favourite slow air with beautiful tone enhanced by the warmth of vibrato!
Over the course of 10 weeks you will receive step-by-step instruction on how to do vibrato.
Each week you will learn a new exercise to move you towards playing with beautiful vibrato.
We will meet in a live class each week to practice together and so you can ask any questions you may have.

“Katherine has often mentioned that learning vibrato can be a long journey, requiring a LOT of practice. As with all her courses, her method for teaching vibrato was broken down into encouraging, manageable and incremental steps, and while I am still working at learning this technique, I have been able to experience enough success to add just a little “something extra” to my playing. Thank you Katherine, for guiding me on this path!”
“I have been playing violin for a long time and had developed a half-decent vibrato, but I have known for a long time that my technique was not ideal and was limiting me in several ways. When I started your vibrato course, I was excited, and then skeptical; The exercises did not seem to be relevant to playing vibrato, but I decided to stick with it, and I am now a believer! I am still not quite there yet, but every time I pick up my violin now, I find it easier to use the new technique and the problems that accompanied the old method are gone!”
By the end of this class you will be able to do vibrato at least at a rudimentary level. You will also have the skills to continue working on vibrato to continue developing your sound.
There are no refunds. All purchases are final.
The platform I am using is in USD, so that is what we are going with even though I live in Canada.
The exercises I will be giving you will only take about 5 minutes a day, so you have lots of time to do this!
Yes, we are meeting weekly for 10 weeks.
All of the classes will be recorded so you can watch them on your own time. You can also reach out with any questions that you have throughout the course.
