SIGN-UP: Improving Intonation - with Christian Kim

Sharpen your ear and elevate your playing in this focused two-week journey into the art of intonation. Through interactive video lessons, weekly assignments, and hands-on exercises, we'll tackle tuning challenges both mechanically and musically. Anchored by the expressive works of Geminiani and others, this intensive will give you practical tools to build confident, consistent intonation across your repertoire.
What We'll Do:
Week 1: Train Your Ear & Mindset
Learn to hear intonation more clearly by listening for the tension and resolution of common intervals (3rds, 5ths, 6ths, etc.)
Use pre-recorded drones to explore how different notes interact and how intonation feels, not just sounds
Play targeted, simple exercises from the works of Geminiani and others to apply what you hear directly on your instrument
Week 2: Apply & Refine
Dive deeper into tuning within context—double stops, shifts, and melodic lines
Practice matching intonation with a fixed pitch (drone) and explore the role of intonation as expression
Receive a new assignment to apply these tools directly in your own practice and playing
✅ Learning Outcomes:
A clearer understanding of what to listen for when practicing intonation
Improved ability to hear and adjust tension and release within intervals
Greater sensitivity to pitch within harmonic and melodic contexts
Practical tools to self-correct and build reliable intonation over time

Dear everyone!!!
We decided to extend the sign-up period by one week and I can not wait to go on this journey around some (hopefully) fun intonation exercises together!
See you there!
