yes, you 're correct,
intonation is the most important things for a musician
even a professional musician.............
or a youth musician, intonation is one find of music perform....
if your tone is flat or shap, what will the audiences think? Bad performs? lack of practising or even not good at technique! it's amazed that if your intonation is bad,
you will find that when you grow up(music) , intonation is one of your life routine...
