Interesting points about students using visual tuners. I’m mainly a guitar player, and I rely heavily on my korg dt-10 tuner. I can still tune by ear, but I’m going to start forcing myself to hear the A 440 from now on, rather than lining up my tuning machines according to green dots vs. red ones.
It makes sense to use the digital tuner for live performances, and re-stringing an instrument…just for a reference point; but I agree that people are losing their “ear” for the notes they are playing. Most guitar players I see here at in the dorms just play stuff they hear on the radio, and try to mimic what their favorite guitarists are doing visually rather than tonally.

Brian,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. It is amazing to see how we’ve turned an aural art into a visual one… I encourage my students from day one to start using their “ear” and only use the visual aids until the’ve become good at using their ears. It makes them better musicians in the larger picture. They thank me for it later…
