P3 - B2

Tuning the instrument

  • Tune the instrument to itself with some independence, using an external sound source or electronic tuner

Show learners how to tune up to pitch, if necessary detuning and then retuning up to the correct pitch. Ask them to experiment, offering guidance as necessary.

An electronic tuner or tuning app is useful for this exercise.

Use familiar tunes to help learners learn the intervals by which strings are tuned.
