My Project

With these tuners, the orchestra students will have a simple and accurate tool which they can easily use to get their instruments precisely tuned and ready for class. As they advance, the young musicians can also use these tuners to check their pitch accuracy in tricky passages. As students learn to tune with these devices, they begin to learn what the accurate pitches sound and feel like on their instruments, which leads them in the direction of better musicianship. When students feel success in playing with accuracy, they truly begin to enjoy playing.
