Update on Intonation Book

Well, the book is ready, but I’m experiencing some delays getting the payment and delivery process perfected, so unless I figure it out tonight, it may be a few more days before it is ready. In the meantime, here is another preview of what you will find in the book.

LESSON 4:
DON’T STRETCH THE OCTAVES

WHAT: Keep the tonic notes of a scale in tune with each other in while playing ascending and descending scales.
WHY: When playing ascending or descending scales, it is common for octaves to be either stretched or compressed. When this happens, the tonic notes are out of tune with each other in the different octaves. If this happens, then everything else is probably out of tune as well. It is important that all A’s be in tune with each other, all B’s, etc. You have to get in tune with yourself before you can hope to be in tune with anyone else.

:)) Sounds so simple, doesn’t it? The concepts are very simple, but they are not necessarily easy. This is just the introductory info, to find out what the HOW of the exercise is, you’ll have to get the book!
