How to practise this on violin

Turkish March (Rondo alla Turca) is written in Am and opens on B4, so tune that string true before you draw a bow — on a fretless fingerboard the whole piece rides on where your first finger lands. Play the opening phrase slowly, one clean bow-stroke per note, and watch the pitch feedback rather than your hand: the app hears which notes drifted sharp or flat, which is the one thing a mirror can never show you.

Keep the bow parallel to the bridge and draw from the middle third for an even tone. Set the metronome well under around 120 BPM and don't raise it until you've been graded clean on two takes in a row. When a bar comes back red, loop just that bar — intonation improves fastest on the phrase you keep missing, not on replaying the whole piece from the top. By the numbers, this setting runs 37 notes across 9 bars, from G♯4 up to F5 in 2/4 time.
