First, you play a violin, not use, though I am sure you put that there because it wouldn't let you put play since there is already that question. You play a violin by supporting the lower bout of the violin between your shoulder and chin, while holding the neck, using your fingers to change notes. You lightly, or roughly(depending on music) pull the bow across the cords in the middle, or the waist, by the bridge. But not too rough, for you may snap the strings. Note that you tighten the hair on the bow before playing.

DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOW ALL THE WAY! It WILL snap. You can tell when your bow is not too tight when it curves a little inward. If it curves outward then it's way too tight and it could eventually snap. Remember too loosen your bow when you are putting your violin in a case otherwise the hairs could stretch out over time. Also if you get too close too the frod the it will squeak. Stay in between.

Vibrato is a tricky thing. My violin instructor told me, that your teacher can tell you the technique, but you have to perfect it and really teach yourself how to do vibrato. Good luck!
