okay,how is it we have high school students(mostly clarinets ) coming into our orchestra every semester and they have no idea about tuning? are music teachers in schools no longer concerned about tuning. ? its not 1 school, either, although they do tend to come in groups from 1 school or another at a time,, one friend brings another and so on, but still its not just 1 program or teacher. our community group is going to the unprecendetd step of bringing in someone to specially work with them on this, its driving the conductor and the rest of us, to distraction now.
i was asked to try to get the section in tune last time which wore me out. in fact i think the director got wind of the fact that by the last person i was getting downright cranky,(well, they didn't think they had to tune!) so thought better of asking me again to do this.hehe.
"in my time" long time ago! in high school(or jr high or elementary for that matter) we were taught, and had to tune regularly. and i went to several different schools. are they just not paying attention? its become quite the learning experience for them anyway!
