Sine Wave Tuning Exercises for Alto Saxophone
"There are few things worse for a performer than to be preoccupied with tuning- it can really distract and undermine self confidence- ruining the enjoyable experience of playing music"
Metronomes have been used for almost 200 years by musicians to help train them to play in time.
The Sine Wave Tuning Exercises are a unique System that successfully offer a pitch equivalent.
Extremely slow exercises are generated using a pure Sine Wave. The Player matches the exact pitch eliminating any 'beats'. Areas of poor intonation can easily be identified and remedied. Pitch Awareness becomes sensitised with sustained use.

You will easily identify which notes are the most problematic on your instrument
and can now work how to best to resolve them- wether to use
faster air stream, a better fingering, more relaxed throat, improved tongue position,
different mouthpiece!, etc
