Hi all,

Has anyone here tried out David Lucas Burge's Relative Pitch Ear Training Super Course at www.relativepitch.com - or has anyone heard anything about it? It sounds pretty awesome!!

RT

P.S. Or has anyone tried other methods to improve their ear? Any suggestions?

Nope.
Never have done any extra courses-just lots and lots of aural tests! :P

I have it. An old version, in cassette tapes. Plus the perfect pitch course, 20 tapes in all. I tried both, didn't work for me. Maybe it worked for others, but I'd rather not tell you to buy.

Go find some free trainers.

A friend of mine was almost religiously devoted to this product. It remains unclear if she ever learned something, I haven´t met her in awhile.

I don't know if I agree pitch training in this manner is a good idea.

I developed perfect pitch in early childhood naturally. I always tell people interested in perfect pitch to learn to recognize and sing ONE pitch (A=440). A tuning fork will suffice.

Once you have developed one pitch, interval exercises will help you learn the rest.

Have fun.
