 Why is Classical clarinet not supposed to use vibrato?
Author: ruben

I had a student not that long ago that started out on the clarinet by playing Klezmer. After a few years, he decided to study Classical music with me ..and a far more prestigious teacher (easy enough to find!). From the very first, I tried to move him away from the vibrato he had been playing with for years. "Why can't I play the clarinet with a vibrato?" he asked, which is a fair enough question. I was at a loss to answer. "Because it's considered vulgar: in bad taste." That was my lame answer. The how of vibrato has been dealt with often in this forum, but what about the "why", or better still: the "why you shouldn't". I said to my student that the clarinet doesn't lend itself to vibrato, which is as lame an answer as my first one.
