I want to be on tone and I have downloaded two different tuners on my iPhone. They both show me off by a full note (when I play what I think is a b, they show me something close to a). When I play the mp3 files from the Foundations class, the b also shows as about an a on the tuners. What do you suggest for help knowing if I am hitting the notes correctly, or even close?

I have had my horn for about a month and am just trying to get serious about getting a good tone that is on pitch. I am playing around with everything from fingering, to horn set up to embouchure to how to hold the horn. I haven’t ever played a woodwind, so it is all a struggle.

(On Day 1) I can get notes to come out fairly clearly, but opening and closing the notes is a struggle. More importantly I am not ever sure if I am on tone or a bit off.

What you see on the tuner is correct.
All the notes on tenor are thought of for the “Bb” instrument. So a concert Bb is a C on tenor, etc.
