Saturday, January 24, 2026
3:00 PM - 3:45 PM

Description
Teaching intonation can be nebulous and one of the biggest challenges that Instrumental music teachers face, yet there are very few instructional or curricular resources to assist them with this vital task. This session will outline a practical and systematic approach to teaching the competencies that instrumental students must master in order to play in tune. Suggestions for a 5-12 intonation curriculum will be presented.
