Mike-

Don't waste a freakin nickel on the Burge course. According to the New York
Times, research has shown that perfect pitch CANNOT be taught. It is
evidently a gene that 2% of the population has. Ya got it or ya don't.
Frankly, I don't know why this charlatan hasn't been busted for mail fruad.
A better sense of realtive pitch can be aqquired, though, and conventional
ear training is fine for that.
This topic was a Harp-L hottie a few years back, BTW.
