My Project

Personal tuners help students develop a more acute sense of pitch leading to a more accurate understanding of articulation, phrasing, dynamics, balance and blend. Additionally, individual student playing skills are honed as they learn to take responsibility for not just tuning their instrument, but also being aware of how the different parts of the ensemble fit together and work together to make a more musical experience. Reeds, valve oil, slide cream will help students offset cost from constant visits to the music store and be provided by the program. It will also be ready and available for daily use.

These items will help our program continue to grow in the right direction.
