It might be so tempting to start learning vibrato as soon as possible.

However... Did you know starting too early can ruin your technique?

Watch this video to find out what is a good moment to start learning vibrato.

What you said parallels my experience in learning vibrato. Intonation was one of my strong suits from the first lessons. My first teacher felt that I was ready to begin 3rd position after about 3 months. She also felt that I was ready to begin vibrato around the same time. She was right on both counts. I took to position-playing and vibrato quite readily. I know many learners take longer -- often 1-2 years -- before starting. But for me, it worked.
