P2 - B2

Tuning

  • With guidance, recognise whether a note is too sharp or flat
  • Understand how the tuning key is used to tighten or loosen the string

Encourage learners to identify whether strings are in tune, sharp or flat when compared with the sound of the teacher’s strings.

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.

Show learners how the instrument is tuned using the tuning key.
