Hi everyone,

this is a new Youtube lesson by me talking about the two most important types of vibrato on the diatonic harmonica:
The throat vibrato and the bend-and-unbend vibrato.

Two videos with study songs for each of these are coming soon.



I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions.

You can contact me here for private harmonica lessons via Skype: nitnatsnok.muha@gmx.de

All the best from Cologne,
Konstantin

Great lesson Konstantin.
I thought my vibrato wasn,t bad,but after hearing you it clearly is.Mine is much more of a stutter rather than the smooth flowing sound that you have.
Something to work harder on for sure..thanks for posting.

Great subject --Vibrato in singing or harp takes A lot of practice--When I took singing lessons years ago--My teacher taught me what he called pulsing vs vibrato---pulsing was the start and stopping of airflow, not the pitch--vibrato is a constant airflow, while slightly changing pitch or the note-- so if Im on A C harp drawing hole 2 lets say, while continuing to draw air from unbent d2 to slightly bent d2 and back to unbent d2-----then that was vibrato etc

I know everyone hates metronomes- my teacher had me start at a slow speed saying the "E" sound going up n down a 1/2 step over n over again-when I was smooth at that speed--- we'd speed up a little etc the same can be appied to harp
