6.0 Keep Your Instrument in Tune<br />

S<br />

ome instruments are harder to keep in tune than others. For a piano, you need to call a<br />

professional tuner to tune it. Instruments can get out of tune while playing if you are<br />

playing in very hot or cold rooms or if playing outdoors. Violin strings need to be<br />

attended to <strong>for</strong> intonation corrections while playing. Wind and brass instruments often<br />

have certain notes that are hard to play in tune. You need to learn which notes on your<br />

instrument are harder to play in tune, and how to adjust your fingers or mouth/airstream to<br />

make sure they are in tune. You can occasionally play scales and music while watching a tuner to learn<br />

which notes you have trouble with on your instrument and figure out how to make adjustments. It is<br />

also worthwhile to practice tuning your instrument to a (tuned) piano, then compare all your notes<br />

by playing scales or other music along with a pianist.
