Fs.n,thfipcolQsi Play diatonically from top line F up to Bb three or four times. Tune the Bb 8 cents
sharp. (Note: Bb on piccolo is not always the most centered note. If you find this to be true, tune to top line
F playing up from 3rd space C three or four times. Again tune approximately 8 cents sharp.) Be aware that
many piccolo and flute players tune with more air than needed. This pushes the pitch up considerably Play
with what Emory Remmington called ‘a conversational breath. This will give you a more accurate reading.
Be aware of the head joint and its adjustment, as this has a severe influence on the pitch. (Note: Bb above
the staff should be well centered. Use frequent checks to see if this note stays constant.)
Beingawa.re of the problems that the reed and instrument present, itis still imperauve that we become
consistent in our approach to tuning. Play diatonically from 1st space F up to 3rd line Bb three or four times.
The Bb should be slightly sharp. Then play diatonically from 3rd line Bb up to F three or four times The
F, especially the fork fingering, will be slightly sharp. if you use the regular fingering for top line F, thepitch
will tend to be flat. (Note: A reed of approx. 70mm is recommended to achieve the desired pitch without
squeezing.) Constantly check 2nd space A and A above the staff as this is the most centered note on thehorn.
.aaQ.onz The instrument, reed and bocal have a great deal to do with the pitch of this instrument. Check
the 2nd line Bb and 4th line F, playing to both of them diatonically from below three or four times If these
notes are not close to the required pitch immediately work with the bocals (size 00 to 4 from small to large
or sharp to flat) and the reed lengths. The reed should be 2-1/8’ overall and a #2 bocal on a good instrument
should work best, Also be aware of the distance the reed fits on to the bocal Too much or too lttle wjll cause
the instniment to play far enough out of tune so that accurate tuning will be impossible. It is important to
notethatchoosinga qualified student, instrument, reed and bocal wifl tend to make the pitch problems
less frustrating for you and your double reed players.
Clarinet: Check 2nd line G and adjust the baffel (approx. 1/8 inch), Then check low C. If ills sharp, adjust
the middle joint. Finally check 3rd space C. If this note is also sharp, adjust the bell. (Note If this adjustment
further flattens low F then disregard.) Once this is completed, play up to each note, diatonically, three or
four times to insure consistency. (Note: Most student clarinets are built sharp. Thtr is why it is lmperaiive
to secure an accurate reading on 2nd line G first.)
Alto and Ban Sax: First check 2nd line G. It should be very close to the centered pitch Second check
G above the staff. This noteshould register slightly sharp. Play up to these notes diatonically, from D, three
or four times. (Note: Top line F sharp is the best note to check for zero tolerance
IoSaj Follow the same procedure as alto sax, Second line 0 should be almost perfect and 0 above
the staff should be sharp. (Note: 3rd line B is the best note to check for zero tolerance.)
It is again noted that the quality of the instrument, reed, ligature and mouthpiece play a very
mportanE part in the successful development of acceptable intonation.

Strategies for SMART practice:
1. Play rhythms on one pitch first if difficult
2. Look for patterns
3. Play in a comfortable range first (down an octave?)
4. Isolate one challenge at a time
5. Work slow to fast (use a metronome)
6. Build from the middle
Logical Steps to Effective Intonation
1. Listen for “beats”
2. Make an adjustment; if beats get faster, try the opposite until the beats slow and
eventually disappear.
3. If you have to pinch to make the beats stop, make your instrument shorter
4. If you have to relax to make the beats stop, make your instrument longer
5. When you hear no beats while playing with your normal embouchure you are in tune!
Ways and Steps to Listening
1. If you hear yourself sticking out of the band’s sound you may be playing too loud. This is
BALANCE. See below for info on the Pyramid of Sound.
2. if you adjust your volume and still stick out of the band’s sound, adjust your posture,
embouchure, and breath support to make your tone mesh better. This is BLEND. Think
of putting your sound “inside” other voices...e.g. Alto’s try to fit “inside” the horn sound;
Trumpets try to fit “inside” the tuba sound.
3. If you adjust your volume and tone and still stick out of the band’s sound, you may be
out of tune. This is INTONATION (see above).
4. Always listen down to the lowest instrument, to the people on either side of you, and to
yourself.
The Pyramid of Sound (BALANCE)
1. Higher voices are more easily heard than low voices; therefore to create a more
balanced sound, adjust all dynamics levels as follows.
2. Low voices (tuba, low brass, tenor sax) should be strongest...play at or above the written
dynamic level
3. Middle voices (alto, horn) are the next highest priority...play at or slightly below the
written dynamic level
4. High voices (trumpets, flute, clarinet) should be least prominent...play one level below
the written dynamic level
Scale and Chord Related Theory
scale is a series of single notes which ascend or descend in a cpwjse mannç within the range of an octave. V
ecause scales are arranged in a stepwise manner the note names will always be in 2ihetici order.
he notes within scales have a specific whole step/half step
utervalic with each other.C natural minor scale (lower the 3rd, 6th, and
7th scale degrees a half step).

Intervals of the C major scale:
Interval - the distance between two notes
Half Step - the closest interval between two notes -
Whole Step an interval of two half steps Augmented Sus 4raise fifth fourth
Third - the distance of two adjacent lines or two adjaZpaces
reiaces Osir
Scale Degree - a note’s classification according to its position in the scale
Tonic - the first note of a scale, the key-note from which the scale takes its name
Dominant the fifth scale degree, chords built on this note are “dominant’ and normally resolve to the tonic
Leading Tone the seventh scale degree, ft is one half step below tonic and its tendency is to “lead” or rise to the tonic
