P2 - B2

Tuning the instrument

  • Tune each string separately with guidance, using an external sound source or electronic tuner

Ask learners to tune all strings to the reference guitar or electronic tuner.

Learners develop this skill at different stages and therefore it is not an expectation that all learners will be able to do this by Programme of Study 2. Encourage collaboration between learners when leading this exercise with groups.

When tuning, learners should be aware that approaching the note from below can result in more stability of pitch than approaching it from above.
