In the last week, my director has been harping me on my use of vibrato. I play in several large ensembles, one smaller (about 20 players, I am the only trumpet), and jazz band. I come to find out that I really do not know when to use it or not. I have been told to do it when if feels natural, but it always seems to feel natural, especially when I am playing with the small group. Could anyone lend me any suggestions on best times to use and best times to avoid vibrato?? Thanks....
