That is simply a way for me to show you the rhythm. start with an exagerated vibrato. As the student progresses in their development, narrow the width of the vibrato as the speed of the vobrato increases. - Practice each line slightly faster each day to devlop the feel for vibrato. - When the half notes are at mm=160, move to line 2 and start at mm= Line 1 # # # w 5 œ Line 2 # œ œ œ œ # œ œ œ œ # œ œ œ w 9 Line 3 œ # œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ # œ œ œ œ œ œ œ œ # œ œ œ œ œ œ œ w 13 Line 4 œ# œœœœœœœœœœœœœœœ œ# œœœœœœœœœœœœœœœ œ# œœœœœœœœœœœœœœœ w
