Practice Tools

Above pitch = Sharp, pull out

In the Middle = In tune, just right! :)

Below pitch = Flat, push in


Use the tuner after you play for a couple of minutes so your instrument is not cold and is at room temperature for a more accurate reading.


1. Practice slowly so you cannot make a mistake!

2. Check the tempo of each piece and the music term on the music to know what to put the metronome on

3. Use the metronome 60% of the time and then use without to not become dependent on the metronome for good rhythm
