Tuning Teaching, Musical Acoustics, Musical TechnologyAbstract
Musical acoustics and specifically tuning is one of the most complex contents in the training of any instrument. The daily practice allows us to adjust the height of certain notes in order to improve their tuning; something that has traditionaly and systematicaly been done by the Teacher and disconnected from their scientific reason. Concerning the brass instruments in the subject of Chamber Music in Arts and Music Teaching, it is possible to improve the tuning of the musical speech through a theoretical and practical method. In that sense and with the aim of giving a different focus to the habitual teaching methods, it is hereby presented an intervention in which the different tuning possibilities of this kind of instruments are presented to the students while, in adittion, we analyze the results from the recordings registered in class with conventional chromatic tuning keys and the software programm Audacity®. Finally, from these foresaid sound results, we encourage the students to check if the traditionally done tuning is correct or not and which scientific arguments support their answers.
