You might be thinking right now that Google Tuner is exclusively for mobile use, but this is wrong because can be used from any web browser, as long as you configure the audio input. In fact, to make this tutorial I developed it almost entirely on the computer, running tests to compare them on mobile.

Before starting, it is necessary to clarify that the tool allows tuning of any instrument, but it is absolutely necessary that you know what the notes are that you require to complete the task. Another thing you need to know is American notation, which assigns letters of the alphabet to musical notes.

Let’s learn to use it

We’ve reached the funniest part, and the one you’ve surely been waiting for, using Google tuner. Don’t worry, as for your search, it will be very easy to use. I’ll explain it to you in a few steps. Keep in mind that depending on the tool, it may take a little longer or less.

1. Open the tool, the first step is to activate the microphone. Of course, at this point the browser will already ask you if you grant the necessary permissions. Activating the audio input is done with the circular button at the bottom.
2. Once enabled, a notification will appear indicating that it is listening. The sound quality will appear next to the microphone icon.
3. As soon as the tuner detects the note, it will appear on the screen, just below the bow. To find the note, it is necessary to repeat the sound several times.
4. The colored arc you will see on the note will help you reach the indicated note. In the case of a stringed instrument, it is necessary to strike the open string (without stepping on any neck) and see the bow while we are playing with the peg.
5. At the moment when the pointer is in the center of the bow, we can say that we have reached the note. If it is below, then you need to slightly increase the string tension, and if it is above, then you need to remove something.

This process should be repeated with each string of your instrumentconsider the configuration you want to use, the type of strings and above all, be very careful when tuning, remember that strings can break and cause problems for your limbs or even your face.

American musical code in a few lines

I don’t aspire to teach music lessons, and surely most readers know this code, but for those who are starting out, I decided: briefly explain what it consists of and what are the equivalents in terms of notes of the western universal system?

We all know the western musical notes, it is explained to us by the children Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La and SiThey are the basis of music. Those who study music know that this is a little deeper, but what we want to do is enough.

how a way to make writing easier and learning simpler, gives rise to the American notation, which seeks to reduce each musical note to a single letter. Subsequently, the equivalence of traditional musical notation and the American notation, which is used mainly in the teaching of popular music, was established.
