Abstract	The purpose of this study was to survey collegiate string musicians on their use of drone accompaniments to improve intonation. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to collegiate string musicians (N = 152). Most participants reported that they used a drone accompaniment as a tool to improve their intonation and that they were introduced to it in high school. Participants indicated they used a drone accompaniment more regularly when practicing scales and arpeggios. Additionally, they believed that it was an effective technique for improving intonation, especially for scales and arpeggios. A positive-moderate relationship between reported use of a drone accompaniment in practice and its perceived effectiveness to improve intonation was found for fast passages, slow passages, and solo repertoire. A majority of participants reported that they used a tuning application on their mobile device and a dedicated metronome and tuner to produce a drone accompaniment. (As Provided).
