What "tricks of the trade" do you educators have for TEACHING your students how to hear or feel whether or not you're in tune? It's the TEACHING that I'm most interested in. I, personally, am in several band and have experienced different ways to tune. HOWEVER, nobody has ever taken the time to teach me how to HEAR/FEEL whether or not I'm in tune. Are there exercises that you can use with your students to teach this skill? Most conductors I've worked with spend almost no time at all on tuning. They have the first chair clarinetist stand up and blow a C then have various sections try to match the pitch. But they NEVER have spent time TEACHING me how to hear/feel if I'm in tune. How do you teach that skill?
