Which one of these people/notes shall I try to tune with? It's interesting for me, as someone with perfect pitch, to be an amateur horn player. I actually take it as a point of pride that I've learned to let myself play out of tune - my tendency is to try to fix everything, but if you do that, your playing never acquires any ease. I need to fix my intonation by trying to address the technique problems that are causing the intonation problems. -S- _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
