Principles of Intonation for Clarinet in Band & Orchestra
by Mike Steffen

 

With clarinets serving a crucial role in both symphony orchestra and band, it is imperative for all instrumental teachers to understand how to tune their clarinet sections. Our friends at D'Addario have put together a quick video with Kim Cole Luevano, Professor of Clarinet at the University of North Texas explaining the tuning process, as well as troubleshooting techniques. I encourage you to check it out and add her ideas to your bag of tricks!
