Hi, I was wondering if any of you musicians would happen to have any tips or something for me to improve on my intonation. ((I play the violin by the way)).
Please contact via my email at:
xxcloudburstxx@gmail.com
**Thanks (:

Hit the right strings.
I'm a trombone player, not a super genius.

I know that. I just have trouble with where to place my fingers, like I think my finger will be in the right spot but the note's a bit flat or sharp, or sometimes by a lot sweatdrop

"Put some air in the horn."
The answer to every pitch-related question.
Even if it's violin.

I play the flute, so I'm not sure how my knowledge can help you too much. I used to play the violin, but that was a few years ago. My advice to you and to anyone else who wants to improve their intonation is to practice. The key to getting better at all is to practice, practice, practice. Also if you are just beginning, investing in lessons will greatly help your playing skills.
Hope it helped,
Arina

kumichinen888 Marching Band no Jutsu "Put some air in the horn." The answer to every pitch-related question. Even if it's violin. ? Not with strings, I'd say. I'm a horn player, but I've learned strings for a class. I would suggest finding a tuner or a piano (preferably a tuner) and practicing difficult things, like shifting positions. Play around with intonation, making it sharp or flat until you can hear and feel the difference. If you're a beginner, try putting a little line of electrician's tape along the spot for each finger. That will help you learn the position until it becomes engrained, and it should be fairly in tune. For that matter, tape probably works for different positions, right? Once you start to know where every note is, you can take off the tape and try to find each note by ear.

I play the violin. What I would recommend would be to play a lot of scales slowly before you play any real pieces everday, comparing each note with either a tuning fork or a piano (that you know is in tune because pianos need tuning too).

Try purchasing a drone CD. It's vital for ANY musician that wants to train their intonation.

Just perfect your positions and sit up straight and it should come naturally.

The key is ear training. You have to hear either the pitch itself of the tonic of the key for the passage of music. That provides a reference pitch that you can tune to easily if you're familiar with the intervals. Try reading this.

Once you start to know where every note is, you can take off the tape and try to find each note by ear. ....the expression "put some air in the horn" can be applied to strings, you just don't think it can. when you tell someone to "put air in the horn" you're telling them to play more confidently. don't take everything so literally. and i'd have to agree, you will sound a lot better if you simply sound more confident. even if you're not perfectly in tune, you sound marginally better with confidence. don't let the audience know you know you're off.
