you have to change vibrato according to the note's length.

You must vibrate baroque music (see all flute and recorder literature)
modern, contemporary
violins use vibrato in romantic and classical music (in different ways and
very gently and fine
in classical....) so, ALWAYS think vibrato as improving expression and
feeling, not only as
tecnique.
