Subj: Re: [kl] intonation in large groups

Our high school concert band no longer uses a tuner, and we have become better
musicians because of it. Before people were too reliant on a tuner to solve
their problems, so they never developed their ear. Our director got fed up
taking 30+ minutes out of a band rehearsal to tune. So he finally ditched the
tuner and with as little assistance from him as possible, we learned to listen
and use trial and error to find our pitch center, and our ears have never been
developed better. Try doing that for even a couple of days, and watch the
improvement. It really works!
Good luck!
