How to Use the Drone Tone App for intonation and ear training

1. At the top of the page, navigate to Practice Tools -> Drone
2. Choose the note name of the chord you’d like to hear. The drone will automatically start playing! You’ll hear a descending chord: The tonic (the note name you chose), the fifth, the third, and finally the tonic again, this time an octave lower than the first.
3. You can switch between major and minor chords below the chromatic wheel to help you practice different kinds of scales, arpeggios, and even pieces in a variety of keys.
4. Press play to hear the drone tones.
5. Adjust the volume to your liking so that the drone tones are as loud as your violin.
6. Start practicing!
