Please click here A recent message to Simon Fischer about the Scales book Part of a recent letter to Simon Fischer about the tone exercises Recent comment from www.violinist.com As for vibrato - Jean is right, the chapter on vibrato at the end of Simon Fischer’s Basics book is a treasure trove. The first ten or so exercises of the chapter will directly address your needs, as far as acquiring and developing the mechanics of your vibrato; the exercises after that are designed to bring about greater control of the finer nuances of vibrato. I use Simon Fischer’s works quite a bit in my own practice, and in my teaching - and I encourage you invest in this book and apply the exercises in it.
