My Project

Our musicians are deeply motivated to create and share expressive music as an ensemble. Playing in an ensemble is an empowering, rewarding experience when students learn how to play in tune and on time as an ensemble.

Intonation and ensemble listening are foundational skills in bands that are often challenging for young musicians to develop.

Using a tuner metronome serves as an aid for students to develop their intonation and listening skills. This tool provides a visual and aural pitch reference point so students can learn how to address pitch tendencies on their instruments.

We currently have 10 tuner metronomes, thanks to a previous DonorsChoose project! (Thank you, kind donors!) These 10 metronomes are shared and rotated by students. Our students use these tools to check tempo and intonation when working together, though they typically only have access for a short period of time since we often share one metronome among 5 students. We are hoping to increase our inventory of tuner metronomes so that every student has an opportunity to use them during class. Our program is quickly growing, and expanding our collection of tuner metronomes will enable us to serve more of our students and support their musical development.
