Let's Play in Tune!

Help me give my students Tuners for my wind players. Having the correct fingering doesn't always mean you're playing the right not! With a tuner, students can understand the importance of intonation from the very beginning.

My Project

Playing with the correct posture and embouchure is one thing, but as a beginner, it's hard to know what B flat should sound like. That's where the tuner comes into play. I would think that a tuner would be an essential kit for every instrumentalist. Playing in tune is much more than having the correct slide position or fingering. When you're beginning to learn, it's great to have a visual that lets you know that your note isn't quite right. Fortunately, both skills can be learned - and there exists a wide range of techniques to help improve the accuracy of your tuning and the breadth of your tone. In addition to teaching my students all those techniques. We need technology, specifically a tuner and a contact clip microphone.

This tool will aid the development of my student's tuning, the most common of which is the humble tuning fork.

This little tool can and will be every wind player's best friend! Help my students be the best player they can be. We appreciate your generosity.
