Who is this for?

This course is for students who are at least advanced beginners.  Students already need to know how to play the violin before signing up for this course.

Here is what my students are saying:

“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!”

Gloria Stanley

“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!”
