Playing with Cello Drones is an effective and enjoyable way to develop your ear and improve your intonation. A drone is a sustained tone, and playing or singing with a drone allows you to hear and adjust in relation to an ongoing reference pitch. Tuning to a drone develops awareness of frequency relationships which can carry over into listening and tuning in all playing situations. It adds a harmonic element which enhances the musicality of scale and passage work. As in many musical cultures, playing with a drone also provides a tonal atmosphere and harmonic base for improvisation.
The Cello Drones CD contains drones on all 12 chromatic pitches for tuning and improvisation in major, minor, modal, and scales of your own creation. Each track is approximately 6 minutes in length and consists of 5 sustained tones: 3 octaves of the tonic (the fundamental scale tone) and 2 octaves of the 5th. Software techniques have been used to ensure pitch accuracy. A = 440 Hz.
