How to tune your instrument

The first lesson will be on how to tune your instrument.

Below I am providing a list of the pitches you will be tuning your instruments to for this course.


Guitar - D2 A2 D3 F#3 A3 D4

Mandolin - A2 D3 A3 D4

Banjo - (5th string F#4 or A4) D3 F#3 A3 D4

Violin - Use standard tuning G2 D3 A3 E4 or tune to A2 D3 A3 D4 tuning like Mandolin

The number behind the pitch name is the number of which key it is on the piano. So a D2 would be the second D on the piano, A 4 would be the 4th A on the piano, etc.
