1. Vibrato

   Vibrato (Italian, from past participle of "vibrare", to vibrate) is a musical effect consisting of a regular, pulsating change of pitch. It is used to add expression to vocal and instrumental music. Vibrato is typically characterised in terms of two factors: the amount of pitch variation ("extent of vibrato") and the speed with which the pitch is varied ("rate of vibrato").In singing it can occur spontaneously through variations in the larynx. The vibrato of a string instrument and wind instrument is an imitation of that vocal function.

   Vibrato is a musical technique involving the regular pulsating change of pitch used primarily to add expression and warmth to a performance. This technique involves a slight oscillation in pitch, typically achieved by performers either through a controlled shake of the hand or through manipulation of breath or diaphragm in singing or playing wind and brass instruments. The speed and depth of the oscillations can vary according to the performer's interpretation.

Vibrato is typically characterised in terms of two factors: the amount of pitch variation and the speed with which the pitch is varied. In singing it occurs spontaneously through a nervous tremor in diaphragm or larynx. The vibrato of the string instrument and wind instrument is an imitation of that vocal function. In the organ, the vibrato is imitated by the interference of two notes nearby.
