Vibrato is that magical sauce that will make everything you play sound better!

Do you want to learn vibrato on the violin?

Learning vibrato takes patience and dedication, but everyone can learn it! I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from playing the violin over 15 years, taking years of violin lessons & teaching hundreds of students around the world, and created a simple, step-by-step program to learn vibrato on the violin.

Unlock Your Vibrato is the roadmap you need to learn the vibrato technique and apply it to pieces.

Are you ready to learn the only violin technique that makes every note on your violin sound more beautiful, and have fun along the way?

Here is How Unlock Your Vibrato will Help You

Unlock Your Vibrato is a step-by-step course tailored to violin adult beginners. After completing this course, you will feel impressed with your newborn vibrato tone!

You’ll start from the beginning

We start from the beginning to set you up for a beautiful vibrato tone. Even if you have done vibrato exercises before, most people overlook some key exercises that affect your final vibrato sound.

A simple, step-by-step plan

I walk you through the entire process with step-by-step videos, so that even if you can’t seem to move your fingers, you’ll be able to make progress.

You don’t have to have flexible fingers

If you’re not as young and flexible as you once were, I’ve got you. I’ve included exercises to relax “stiff fingers” so you can slowly learn the vibrato motion. Just use my daily flexibility exercises and enjoy the loosened-up feeling in your hand!

You don’t have to go it alone

Along with instant access to all your weekly course materials, you also get access to a community of other students, as well as access to me & a professional violin teacher to ask all your questions during office hours, all for no additional payment.

Invest time in your vibrato practice

Learning vibrato takes a lot of time. I will help you with weekly motivation to keep practicing with simple videos. Learning vibrato isn’t easy, but joining this program will simplify the process and hold you accountable, so that you can finally take your vibrato practice seriously and add vibrato to your pieces for years to come!

Have fun in the process

This vibrato course is NOT an endless “ambulance” and “wrist” exercise with a metronome (like most vibrato courses). You’ll get access to weekly fun vibrato song challenges that are composed specially for this course. Every week, you will get a fun and slightly more difficult challenge than the week before. I will make sure you actually WANT to practice vibrato!

“I enjoyed Unlock Your Vibrato from beginning till the end”

What a great course, I really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

I had already been practicing vibrato for a few months before I joined Unlock Your Vibrato. What this course brought me was a more structured base and helped me to focus, but with a real sense of fun and lots of encouragement along the way. Also, I felt a sense of togetherness with others learning in the course.

I learned the correct hold on violin, great new finger exercises, also how to reduce tension, and so much more everything you need for learning vibrato with tips and a real personal touch from Julia. Great course, hard work but fun. I feel like I’m making progress and it certainly gives you the tools for achievement.

Many thanks to you Julia. 🙂

Vibrato made possible I’ve always wanted to enhance my playing (still a beginner) with a nice vibrato. I tried teaching myself, but that wasn’t much of a success. Then I decided to face the music and enroll on Julia’s Unlock Your Vibrato course. I liked the clear format of this course. The progress was made easy through a well-structured path with modules, with just the right amount of information and plenty of room for individual practice. The essential pre- and knuckle exercises were the foundation of the whole process, and I found them to be the basis of mastering the vibrato, with continuous practice of course. You need to make your knuckles more flexible and relaxed. This is something that I didn’t appreciate before this course, neither the importance of progressing slowly and meticulously. Now I know: Easy does it! The modules present some nice melodies in play-along videos with Julia, then you get to play them yourself with accompaniment, practising each finger in turn. These exercises are now part of my daily routine, as only practice makes (almost) perfect! This is a course I can highly recommend as well for beginners as for more advanced violin players, who want to learn vibrato. Thank you, Julia!

My Vibrato is Improving! My Vibrato is Improving!
I have always struggled with vibrato. I am a (very) adult learner, and I was ready to resign myself to playing without this beautiful skill.
However, since I was already acquainted with Julia's clear teaching style, I enrolled in "UYV." As always, the lessons began slowly at the most basic level. I found I was able to perform the vibrato motions at that level.
The lessons proceeded in small increments of difficulty. I continued to practice. To my delight and surprise, I made progress!! This is very exciting for me, and I know Julia is very happy for me too!
I love that Julia is as excited to teach the beginning student as she is to teach the advanced student. I never feel embarrassed to perform for the group, no matter how inept I am. I have learned that others are struggling too.
I know that Julia is happy to help me in any way that she can. She and her staff are always available via e-mail or FB to help with a technical problem or to answer questions.
Julia's enthusiasm is contagious, and always motivates me to practice vibrato every time I watch a lesson. I urge everyone to take advantage of this excellent instruction!

Julia's Unlock Your Vibrato Course - Truly Awesome! I recently joined Julia's Unlock Your Vibrato course, since I wanted a step by step method on handling vibrato on the violin. Julia's course totally delivered on all my expectations with its thorough handling of every single facet of vibrato.
The course has been structured extremely well with weekly exercises to ensure that we put into practice what has been taught. I also liked the fact that Julia does not take anything for granted - she starts absolutely from ground zero and that is really commendable.
The exercises which include play along pieces help tremendously and make it even easier to follow. On another note, the use of multiple cameras with a close up of how the fingers on the left hand move also help a lot.
Congratulations to Julia for designing this detailed vibrato course and a job well done!
Also, thanks to Victoria for promptly reviewing my vibrato video and providing her professional feedback on my video submission.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone desirous of learning vibrato on the violin in a structured manner.

A great experience! After struggling with youtube videos for over a year, I decided to purchase this course to help with my understanding of vibrato. Julia was able to explain so many things about posture, hand placement, and the need to develop and strengthen the necessary muscles in a way that no other teacher had done before. It helped me understand not only what to do, but why I was doing it as well.
My vibrato went from tight, cramped, and sounding horrible; to much more fluid, flexible, and bearable to listen to. I'm still not where I want to be, but now I understand that time and patience is a huge part of the journey, and as I have lifetime access to these practice courses I have no doubt that I will improve with time.
I would point out though that you only get from this course what you put into it. It can be easy to give in to a lack of quick progress and frustration with yourself, but if you take the course seriously and practice daily, you'll get there. Thank you, Julia!
