The vast majority of my students are not able to afford private instruction. Unfortunately, my district is also slowly removing groups lessons from the school day. Without these lessons, it is very easy for students to become discouraged if they do not notice improvement while practicing. One of the greatest factors leading to students giving up on an instrument is their inability to play in tune. Having these tuners available to them for use in class or at home will help the students track their progress. These tuners will allow the students to clip them onto their instruments and see a clear display letting them know whether or not they are in tune. Using the tuners along with a tuning chart will allow the students to keep a record of their improvement over the course of the year. It will also allow them to recognize the specific tuning difficulties of their instruments.
