Intonation and ear training
Pitch Drone and Chord Tone Practice
Hold a steady root or chord tone underneath scales, melodies, improvisation, or slow intonation work.
01
Choose the tonal centre
Set the root and octave that match the instrument, exercise, or piece you are working on.
02
Shape the drone
Use chord tones, waveform, filter, chorus, and level controls to make the reference useful without masking your playing.
03
Listen for the relationship
Play slowly against the sustained pitch and notice beats, tension, release, and the point where the note settles.
