Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Can someone explain it to me?

It's possible to get vibrato in several ways:

1. Diaphragmatic--use your breath control to vary the flow of air through the instrument. This is the primary way that flute players get vibrato--it gives you a slower vibrato that, with practice, you can control rather well.

2. Wiggle the trumpet.

3. Move your jaw up and down--this gives a rather extreme vibrato.

4. Wagging tongue--gives a more subtle vibrato.

you have to move the tongue really quick and it will make a vibrato
