FREE LIVE ONLINE VIOLIN CLASS
Finally Unlock a Beautiful Violin Vibrato
Join me live as I break down the techniques that can help you develop a smoother, more relaxed, more beautiful vibrato — no matter how long you’ve struggled with it.
Vibrato is one of those violin techniques that can feel almost impossible until you understand what your hand actually needs to be doing.
Maybe your vibrato feels too tight.
Maybe you can make the motion, but can’t control it.
Maybe you’ve practiced vibrato exercises for months and still can’t comfortably use vibrato in your music.
Or maybe you’re just getting started and have no idea where to begin.
That’s exactly what we’re going to work on together.
Join me for a special FREE live online violin class where I’ll teach some of the most important concepts I’ve learned from years of teaching violinists.
If You've Struggled With Vibrato, You're Not Alone.
I’ve taught violinists at just about every level, and vibrato has always been one of the techniques students want to learn most.
It’s also one of the easiest techniques to practice incorrectly.
The problem isn’t necessarily that you need to practice MORE.
You need to understand what your hand, fingers and arm should actually be doing.
During this live class, we’re going to break vibrato down into simple concepts you can understand and practice on your own.
And yes — bring your violin!
I want this to be something you can actually participate in rather than another video you watch and forget about.
What We'll Work On Together
Hand Position
Learn how the height and position of your hand can either make vibrato easier — or make the movement nearly impossible.
Finger Angles
We’ll look at how your fingers contact the string and why the wrong angle can restrict your vibrato motion.
Finger Pressure
One of the most overlooked vibrato problems. Too much pressure creates tension and makes it incredibly difficult to move freely.
The Vibrato Motion
I’ll break down what should actually be moving and give you exercises you can use to develop a smoother, more controlled motion.
Using Vibrato in Real Music
Exercises are only the beginning. We’ll talk about how to start taking your vibrato from a drill and actually using it to make your music sound more expressive.
Let's Work On Your Vibrato Together.
Sometimes one small adjustment can completely change the way a violin technique feels.
Your hand position.
Your finger angle.
The amount of pressure you’re using.
The way you’re practicing the motion.
Those are exactly the kinds of things I want to help you identify during this class.
So grab your violin and join me live.
Let’s work on it together.

Introducing the
Next Chapter: LumenCorda
LumenCorda is the project that brought me back to teaching violin.
The idea behind it is simple:
Help People Become Lifelong Violinists.
Not just people who complete a course or memorize a few songs.
I want to help people build a relationship with the violin that lasts for decades.
That means learning proper fundamentals, continuing to develop your technique, discovering new music, getting feedback when you’re stuck, and having other violinists around you who understand the journey.
I’m building lessons, resources, live classes and a community around that idea.
This free class is part of that mission.
There’s nothing you need to purchase to attend.
Just come ready to learn.
