Jaw Vibrato

Some players prefer jaw vibrato, where the lower jaw moves gently up and down, subtly alteringg the oral cavityy and pitch. This method can feel more natural. Ensure that the movement i s small and ritmically forwt - use a methonomie to synomize vibrato pulses wich beats (e.g. 4 pulses per quartrer note at 60 bpm).
