NOTE All tuners/metronomes/apps work basically the same. Below is some universal tips to set for each tuner.

1) A = 440.0 Hz (This is the universal frequency for an A note, MUST HAVE THIS SET TO THIS)
2) Tuning/Transportation Key = C (this allows the notes to be tuned to their true pitch)
3) Flat (b) means to low of a pitch; Sharp (#) means to high of a pitch
4) “Cents” is the unit of measurement for note frequency, this should be as close to 0 as possible to minimize any deviation from the exact pitch frequency
