Vibrato trigger

Swinging between two notes a semitone apart, faster and faster, until the swing becomes a natural vibrato on the long note.

How to do it

  1. Move slowly between the two notes, then faster.
  2. On the last long note, let the movement continue on its own.
  3. Never shake the jaw or the belly to make it.

Remember Faster and faster, then let it ride.

Garcia: sustained tones, half step by half step IntermediateClassical Manuel Garcia's first study: single long notes of equal strength, moving up a half step at a time, so every note of the range gets the same care.
