Just after community orchestra rehearsal, and that violin teacher I mention earlier, always play out of tune, sometimes even produce glass scratching sound, is that normal??
I just had a chat with a violin teacher that in my community orchestra, I asked why a lot of those players - which is around grade 2 - 4, never tune their own violin, and ask him to tune it for them, and he said, its normal, student before ABRSM grade 6 is not allow to tune their own violin, I said i tune my own violin since grade 1, with app, and he said you cant use app to tune your own violin, the tune is depends, not absolute, you have to use ear, and student dont have good ear, whoever use app to tune their own violin in orchestra will be laugh by everyone.
Then i asked the final question, "So student just keep on practicing at home even their violin is out of tune?"
He said "Yes."
I don't know, am I crazy?? I mean, not allow to tune your own violin before grade 6? Even with app??? ( i know that teacher very dislike using app to help any kind of music abilities, and he only believe in tuning fork).
