TAKE THE QUIZOne that handles tempo, time signature, and subdivision. Ours does that. Use it every day.
Use a pitch generator to play a sustained drone note. For cello tuning, start with A (440 Hz or 220 Hz for A3), then tune your A string. Move to D (146.83 Hz), G (98 Hz), and C (65.41 Hz). Listen for 'beats' between the strings and drone — when they disappear, the strings are in tune.
C2: 65.41 Hz. G2: 98.00 Hz. D3: 146.83 Hz. A3: 220.00 Hz (equal temperament). In practice, you tune in pure fifths.
Rhythm is the foundation. You cannot phrase well if your rhythm is unreliable.
