Pete Tambroni here from MostlyBass.com for a quick tip on teaching vibrato.
Students will often do some weird wrist bending when first learning vibrato. Tell them to start the vibrato from their elbow and just think of rotating the two forearm bones (radius & ulna). Try it in the air first and then add it to the bass.
