Intonation aural skills listening ufmue music education band

shared by lemason on 28 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • The worlds' finest musicians achieve memorable performances such as these by making a choice lesser musicians will not endure: they choose to listen. To really listen.
  • Is fine intonation really a skill limited to those fortunate few born with a natural aptitude for pitch awareness?
  • self motivation is the key to personal excellence. But the role of the teacher is to teach!
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • First, the player must be aware of and be able to correct pitch discrepancy. The second step is to become aware of the intonation challenges of their own particular instrument. Finally, the player must be able to hear their pitch in relation to the various timbre and octaves in the ensemble.
  • fine intonation is not optional. It is the "grail" to be pursued with almost religious zeal.
  • The heart and the body agree with the ear when the pitch is right.
  • The skill that must be taught (and can be taught!) is that of awareness of pitch discrepancy, or "the beats". This is an aural skill

    The article discusses insight on intonation and ways that teachers and students should approach intonation. The answer is, not with a tuner.

    This page was authored by Arthur Lehman who played euphonium in the President's Own U.S. Marine Band. The page discusses intonation issues facing wind bands. The purpose is to discuss causes of poor intonation and it also provides some diagnostic information. The page also contains links to professional recordings of euphonium players which could serve as a valuable resource to young low brass musicians.

    This page lends itself as a particularly valuable resource, especially for those whose weakness is intonation. In it, you will find philosophies, phrases, analogies, activities, and what the author terms "common threads" for approaching the aforementioned topic with your students. Among the most popular suggestions are singing, practicing characteristic tone quality, and listening down, or back, to the tuba section--all of which can and should be practiced in the early stages of a student's musical development.

    Tonal Energy provides individualized instruction and videos for band and orchestra students. Each instrument is listed and linked to a fingering chart, exercises, scales, instrument care, and videos of professional artists. The website also has a place for discussion between other musicians, teachers, and students. One of the best items about Tonal Energy is the tuner App. The TE Tuner provides a visual representation beyond the original needle and shows the students proper intonation through a smiley face and colored circles.

    This site provides several pieces that focus on certain musical performance skills. The resources are in the form of downloadable sheetmusic. This is a great site for honing in on one specific skill being taght at a time. Most teachers use method books in lesson, which are of course very beneficial but may not put enough emphasis on a specific musical concept. This site has music in several categoires including finger patterns, shifting, and rhythm to name a few. Some of the categories have downloadable curricula as well, making it a great guide for novice teacher or even experienced teachers looking for new materials to work with.

    StringSkills.com is an excellent free resource for string teaching materials. Compiled by Gabriel Villasurda, this site contains fingering charts/suggestions, rhythmic practices (and crazy tunes to help reinforce the learning) as well as bowing techniques, scales and shifting. There are even challenge pieces to be played on one string. Definitely worthwhile for string teachers.

    This website has free, downloadable exercises that address many string techniques. There are exercises for bowings, finger patterns, scales of varying difficulties, shifting, rhythm, and key signatures. This could be a great resource to push students from a beginner/intermediate level to being able to play advanced repertoire that involve complex rhythms, articulations and key areas. I would like to use this for upper middle school students to prepare them for high school instrumental programs.

  • The teacher who asks, "Is that in tune?" "Are you sharp or flat?" or "Which instrument sounds out of tune there?" will achieve more long-term results of students listening than the teacher who simply corrects the problems as they occur.

    This is a PDF file of the various pitch tendencies of wind instruments. Along with a sheet explaining the tendencies for each instrument, a blank worksheet is provided in order for students to fill out for their own understanding of the tendencies of their own instrument. This is valuable when focusing on intonation, balance, and blend within the wind band.
