Tuning Using the Doc Cam & Projector

This is just about the most efficient and effective way to tune a band that I've found.  It makes tuning a whole-band experience.  One of the biggest advantages is that it keeps others from playing their instruments while the tuning process is going on - even when tuning 1 player at a time.

Equipment needed:
1. Doc Cam connected to a
2. Projector and a
3. Chromatic Tuner


The tuner is placed under the doc camera, and the image of the tuner is projected in real-time on the screen for all band members to see:


It makes for a great and speedy way to get through tuning the band.  Everyone can see weather the player is sharp or flat from any seat in the band room.  This keeps the rest of the students looking at the tuner while individuals tune.
