Diaphram Vibrato

Author: Jim Polaski

I've searched here and while I've found reference to the types of vibrato, I haven't yet found any definitive thing on how to learn to produce a diaphram vibrato.

Any help would be appreciated.....

Actually, vibrato is not produced by the diaphram, it occurs higher in the body (the throat area). THis has ben documented through various studies, including x rays. You should search for articles in flute journals and double reed journals written by Keith Underwood (flute) and Chistopher Weit (bassoon). Underwood is a famous clinician known all over the world. He talks about how air rests on the diaphram, and this muscle (diaphram) is used to expell the air. He says that vibrato occurs higher in the body, up in the chest and throat area. Read about this, and you find that many people confuse terminology and actually improperly vibrato.
