Jaysne, I'm not sure how advanced you are, but I have been playing less than a year. I always thought my intonation was fine until I tried playing a piece with a pianist and was shocked to find that I was often a half step higher than the piano. My teacher has said that I am too tense. Perhaps beginner's nerves...? Anyway, I have been trying to practice slowly with a tuner on my stand, but I'm wondering if this is the best way to improve my intonation? Assuming my instrument is reasonably in tune, if I need to make the adjustments, will my brain "catch on" and remember which notes are relatively sharp? Not sure what to do, but the turner needle seems to be furiously swinging about sometimes.
