Tuning and intonation
A resource page about tuning and
intonatiton for the brass player. Inspired by Stephen Colley and his
excellent tools, I have collected some information that can be of help
to all who want to develop their own intonation skills. As a start,
here is a quote from an interview with Colley:
There is a strange
phenomenon surrounding intonation. It's almost like "The Emperor's New Clothes". We all
know there's a problem. No one is fooling anyone if they can't play in tune. But the
problem is that we rarely talk about it. There may be no more
frustrating area of musicianship
than intonation. Teachers who struggle with intonation themselves may even shy away from
dealing with it. But, we ignore intonation at our peril and at the expense of
fine musicianship.
