Use of Drones For Musical Training
Drones are used by a number of music education programs for ear training and pitch awareness, as well as a way to improvise ensemble music. A Shruti box is often used by vocalists in this style of musical training.
As an alternative to a music theory approach to interval analysis, multiple drones can be used in exercises that take a humanistic or experiential approach to musical intervals.
