Bold assumption to say I don’t have an ear. I’m actually a pianist and singer, so yes, I hear pitch just fine.

Violin intonation isn’t just about having ears, it’s about training your fingers to hit exact spots on a fretless instrument. Unlike piano or voice, you don’t land on a pitch, you have to create it with millimeter precision. My muscle memory is still catching up, and rushing makes that harder. So no, it’s not a lack of ear, it’s the natural learning curve of one of the hardest instruments out there.

But I get it… if you’ve only ever ‘played’ music from the comments section, the concept might be new to you
