Tuning your instrument by ear. A workshop for beginners with Michael Shields
Most if not all music is based on tuning. If you can tune by ear, listening to overtones and octaves instead of by app, it makes you hear and play the music better, as well as being therapeutic. Interested participants will have a chance to try out their tuning skills. No tuning experience is needed - just ears.
