No wait, that's not Santa, that's some guy with a big beard practicing his bassoon vibrato!
- Bassoon players use their diaphragm to produce vibrato.
- Push are out in pulses while still maintaining a solid stream.
- Mouth stays still.
Practice "Ho'ing" with a metronome to create a steady pulse. Set it to a nice pace of around 60, then start with 2 Ho's per measure, then when that is easy, 3 Ho's per measure.
Use your newly learned vibrato to make long note sound prettier. Its like adding sprinkles and chocolate sauce to ice cream!
