With tens of thousands of albums sold worldwide and streamed up to 80,000 times a month, The Tuning C.D. has been helping to dramatically improve the intonation of music professionals and music students since 1997. This album contains 34 tracks of drones. The first 12 are, perhaps, the most important. When one performs their melodic instrument against one of these drones, one will clearly hear if they are in tune or not. If not in tune, beats will be heard. It is the repeated action of getting rid of these beats that trains the ear and reinforces excellent intonation habits. Available on Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, Napster and more.
