  The
Perfect Pitch
Experience
For
well over two decades, musicians around the globe
have made their own startling discovery of Perfect
Pitch with the Perfect
Pitch® Ear Training SuperCourse, by
David Lucas Burge.
As
you listen to your Perfect Pitch CDs and do
the simple listening techniques that David-Lucas shows
you, you'll be surprised as your ear gently opens
to a higher new dimension of sound.
"What's it like
to hear
with Perfect Pitch?"

 You
can imagine my joy when I listened
to your lessons for the first time,
went to the piano, and made the startling
discovery of Perfect Pitch!
I started crying and laughing all
at the same time. (J.S., educator)

From
your very FIRST listening you will begin to hear richer
qualities within the tones -- a natural effect you
may never have noticed before. Your experience becomes
stronger with each daily listening session of about
15 minutes.
Soon
your ear will actually start to recognize single tones.
Example:
As you listen to music, you suddenly notice that
an F# sticks out at you -- and you are quite surprised
that you can recognize this tone using nothing but
your OWN EARS.

Last
Tuesday night in rehearsal I was listening
to the soloist play and I recognized F#.
I was so excited that I nearly jumped
up and down.
(L.S., Music Professor)

As
your ability continues to crystallize, you'll find
you can confidently name any tone on your instrument.
This
expands into your ability to recognize CHORDS and
KEYS.
Example:
You suddenly notice that a particular piece is in
the key of G Major,
and you can follow the chords by ear: E Minor,
A Major, D Dominant
Seven, etc.
As
your ear continues to open, you will also notice when
a singer has drifted a quarter or a half step flat
-- by hearing the FINER QUALITIES of pitch with your
own ears -- without a pitch pipe or other external
pitch reference.
At
first you'll probably recognize pitches best only
on your own familiar instrument (you'll learn why
on your Perfect
Pitch® Ear Training SuperCourse).
But as you complete the last CD in your eight-CD series,
your ear gains full mastery of ALL pitches on ALL
instruments -- and even non-instruments (like knowing
the pitch of a lawn mower).
 The
Benefits of Perfect Pitch
Perfect
Pitch is your personal mastery of all pitches
BY EAR.
When
you have mastered musical pitches by ear, all the
tones are yours to command.
Example:
When you want to play by ear, transpose, or improvise,
your EAR does the work for you -- instead of searching
for desired tones by hand.
Example:
Glancing at a page of sheet music, others may see
only black dots. But with Perfect Pitch,
you can now mentally hear how each pitch sounds.
Example:
Singers say it's cool when their new Perfect Pitch
skills enable them to sight-sing, find obscure pitches,
stay in tune, and produce a correct pitch out of
thin air -- from MEMORY.

I
can listen to a song and still hear it
hours later in my mind. (D.O., guitar)

Regarding
your musical memory: Do you ever have a new melody
or chord sequence that comes to your mind -- unexpectedly
-- in a flash of inspiration? How do you remember
it? When your ear can clearly identify the tones with
Perfect Pitch, you can quickly take your new
music out of your head -- and onto your instrument
-- where it belongs!
Perfect Pitch
(known in scholarly circles as "Absolute Pitch")
also adds a higher aesthetic appreciation of sound.
Acoustical psychologist Bachem found that "particular
characteristics of certain keys, e.g., the brilliancy
of A major, the softness of D flat major, can only
be appreciated fully through Absolute Pitch."
The
rich experience of Perfect Pitch extends even
beyond the musical sphere into day-to-day living.
Example:
As your ear becomes more alert, you suddenly find
you can easily recognize voices on the phone --
and more quickly pick up languages and foreign accents.
The
Art of Music
Music
is a HEARING art. Your mastery of pitch is a ROOT
SKILL that branches out to support ALL your musical
talents.
Everything
in music is ultimately linked to YOUR EAR. A small
investment in your EAR automatically enriches and
supports every direction that you choose to take your
music.
The
bottom line:
In
MUSIC, your success and enjoyment depend most on your
ability to HEAR.
