its a blanket rule, which has almost no exceptions. So there are some silly parts. One of my kids is in band and the school uses YONDER pouches. They have had to dig out some really, really old analog tuners to use. They have a fraction of the capability of a $4 IOS app, but the kids are supposed to keep their phones in a special sleeve with no exceptions... (so many kids break that rule, or throw an old dummy phone in the pouch)

- SoftTalker 6mo agoTuners? We had the oboe tune from a tuning fork, then the rest of the band tunes off of that. Or everyone tunes from a piano.
- xjlin0 6mo agoTuning by ears is an important skill for musicians, learning that is beneficial. For example, you cannot rely on apps to tune your signing voice during performance.
- Ylpertnodi 6mo agoPianists are musicians that don't tune their instruments. People that use computers, too. A whole band tuning by ear? Ouch!
