Sorry, Valerie, what kind of band is that ? Is it a band of people, who think buying an instrument & get it tuned by the shopkeeper would be enough and get it retuned during yearly or bi-yearly checkup ? But what about the members, who get a checkup every five years ?
Dont people ever have got ears, when born ? Do they know something, just something about the intervals ? Sorry, being harsh, but I have not heard about such stupid behavior, sorry. What about the other notes, if the conductor let them play just a designated note and get that note tuned ? How about the other notes ? Notes and notes ? If the one notes are not tuned well, one would not earn the "other notes" never (bank notes). Can we fall to a lower level ever ?????? Being enthusiastic about playing an instrument, is not enough. One also has to care about the basic rules of music and the basic rules of music making. It is not that difficult, as long as keeping discipline: learning discipline, practice discipline & playing discipline. >From Rio de Janeiro, just around the corner from Cabo Azucar. ######################################################## Am 25.04.2011 um 15:46 schrieb valerie wells: > I subbed with a community band once whose conductor personally tuned > each member of the band before each rehearsal.
