We've been using tuners a lot in band. Please download a tuner on any smart device that you have. Here is a combination free tuner and metronome:
You can download it and begin using it. If you don't like this app, download any "chromatic tuner" available. A guitar tuner will only tune 6 notes. Good luck!
