Hey all!
To any flute teachers out there, how have you taught pupils vibrato if they haven't developed it naturally? I have a few Grade 5s and although I attempted to start some work on vibrato a while ago, this seemed to fall on deaf ears so I decided to leave. Now of course, repertoire is starting to pretty much demand some vibrato....and I am struggling with explaining how to do it.

I have started with OTT diaphragm pulses, then trying to get them gradually more shallow ....but finding the right balance is hard.
I seemed to have developed it naturally myself and so was not really taught it from scratch.
Another pupil of mine has started to develop it naturally (to my great relief!) and this is great....but I just dont know what to do about the others!

Any tips would be gratefully received
