I've been trying to get more serious about practising my recorder. Here are a couple of tools that help me. The metronome is a task master, keeping me to a selected speed. It is great for exercises and for practising tough passages in a sonata, but once you start really finding the music, it does not allow for nuance. The tuner, another tough teacher is about trying to keep a note at pitch without wavering - much harder than it sounds. I'm working on it and am now experimenting with alternate fingerings - a tough challenge for both body and mind!
My son uses his IPhone for tuning his guitar. He plays for his family every evening after work. It helps to relax them all!
