As a beginner pianist I'm sure this will help me!

[gellievaldez]

I love how you teach a basic skill yet also opening the ways on how to do it on a finer level. Love it! Thank you, Ray!

This was so helpful! As an intermediate violinist, I never really learnt tuning, and I swear when Ray talked about the oscillation thing I suprised pikachu faced for a solid minute

[promisteryolo]

Can you make a video on how to tune fast and furious instead of fast and easy?

[aahanverma]

As a beginner violinist, this helped a lot in making me understand. I was always like “HOW IS MY TEACHER MAKING IT SOUND SO GOOD! TEACHER ME YOUR WAYS!” And now I get the gist of it. Thanks!

3:49 been playing violin for 7 years and just realized that my fine tuners are flipped, counter if its flatter and clockwise if its sharper

Wow, this was a great explanation. When I played the violin as a kid my teacher just went “you should learn how to tune your instrument now” and I would try and then she would have to correct it. There wasn’t an explanation except you would hear it. So I think I would get close but not know how to get the final tuning perfect

As a beginner I'm so excited to this video (beginner violinist!) Thank you for the video Ray!!! Lot of your video help me so much!

[akshadharamkumar]

I have been playing violin for about 2 years and I have always wanted to learn to tune, I looked all over the internet but I just couldn't find something that I understood, but your videos help me with so much! Thank You :D

I just started to play, and this video is right on time!
Thank you, Mr. Chen!

Thanks a lot, Ray! This is undeniably helpful when it comes to tuning, rather than just randomly choosing any video of a violin tuner to match my pitch with theirs; in the end, I always ended up relying on that video without even training myself to tune it independently! The best video explained so far, clear and precise 😅

[MrGrizzlyy]

I literally play guitar and already tune like this but I’m here for engagement 😂 Grats Ray, you got me lol

Kudos to Ray for being a force for good, giving us great explanations for nothing in return!👏🏻💯💖

Having this laid out so clearly and practically is incredibly useful. I would love more tips of ear training. Obviously not gonna qsk for full music theory content, but I found recognizing intervals or working on hearing myself in an ensemble and blending with other musicians is stuff im interested in

[ljbrown]

This was very cool! Thanks for the tip on the oscillations! As a physics teacher/beginner violinist I really appreciated the application 😊

[johnmessinger]

gotta say i haven't tried the practice room in the app yet but i got to look all through the other areas and never once was prompted to do a free trial or pay for more options. Nice refreshing change from the apps youtubers usually push on their audience

[leahcarh]

OMG! This is so smart!! Didn't know method 1 or 3. I was taught only method 2 and always thought it was the only way. Love to learn different approaches!! ❤❤

[violinclaire]

Fellow music teacher here. THIS IS I absolutely love incorporating physics into my teaching and you do that here but in a completely accessible way. Amazing

[erikdao]

OMG, the tuning method based on sound wave is magical to me!!!!

[anapaulaost]

Finally someone who explained how to tune using the fiths. Thank you Ray.
