Intonation
My notes are generally out of tune: In double stops or chords
Double-stop tuning requires interval and resonance checks, not two isolated single-note corrections.
This governed route starts from what you can observe. It is source material and routing help, not a replacement for the current teacher seeing the player.
What you can observe
- intonation
- playing in tune
- pitch accuracy
First bounded action
Choose one short interval pattern, sing or hear the target first, then place without sliding and check after the attempt.
How to check it
The correction becomes smaller across repetitions rather than being rediscovered each time.
Stop condition
Stop after three accurate repetitions from a fresh start.
What this route cannot tell you
This route can help name an observable violin problem and choose a bounded test. It does not override the learner's current teacher or diagnose an individual player from a webpage.
