What is intonation trumpet?
Let's separate tuning from intonation for the purposes of this page. ... Tuning is relatively simple and means getting the instrument set up so that it's going to put you somewhere close to “in tune”. Intonation is the more precise business of playing every note so that it sounds great.
Why is it important to understand Enharmonic equivalents?
Enharmonic equivalents can also be used to improve the readability of a line of music. For example, a sequence of notes is more easily read as "ascending" or "descending" if the noteheads are on different positions on the staff. Doing so may also reduce the number of accidentals that must be used.
What is the reason for an enharmonic note?
An enharmonic tone is a musical note that has multiple names. The purpose of enharmonic tones has to do with voice leading, or the practice of notes resolving in the most singable way. Historically, the tones served as more of a tuning tool. Harmonically, they're all about resolution.
Are enharmonic notes really the same?
They are not the same note. However, they do have a special relationship; a jump of an octave represents a doubling (or halving) of frequency.
