What grade do you learn vibrato on violin?

Why is vibrato so difficult?

Perhaps the reason that it is seen as one of the harder skills to master is because it is focused on the left arm and hand – the arm that is already “backwards” for violinists. The position can feel very foreign and tense anyway without adding the “shake” of vibrato. Vibrato is often divided into arm and wrist vibrato.

Why can I not do vibrato on violin?

Vibrato requires two points of contact with the violin: the pad of the thumb on the neck and the tip of the finger on the fingerboard. The side of the left hand (next to the index finger) must be able to release the neck in order to do vibrato. This is a subtle, but absolutely necessary detail.
