P2 - B2

Tuning

  • Tune each string separately with guidance, using an external sound source or electronic tuner

Continue to help learners tune their instruments using a tuning app, to encourage them to link the aural with the visual.

Ask learners to experiment with tuning. Encourage them to listen carefully, ensuring that their open strings match the notes of a keyboard, backing track or other external source.

Learners develop this skill at different stages and therefore it is not an expectation that all learners will be able to do this by Programme of Study 2. Encourage collaboration between learners when leading this exercise with groups.
