| Re: Vibrato
This thread is 4 years old, the original poster probably got through his all-state and the issue of vibrato is still controversial.
If you are in an ensemble, the director has the last word. As a soloist, musical taste is required to do the right thing and that is learned through IMITATION. I know of little music where vibrato is specified in the score.
We cannot compare violin and trumpet vibrato however. The violinist uses vibrato to "thicken" the sound and improve blend in the section. Neither works with a trumpet.
Bottom line? Buy some CDs and go listen to some live music. Better than any internet forum that I know of! |
