Hi Sheri,

I had the most amazing experience the other week. While working on an original song I'm writing one of my classmates was helping me build the chords as as his played one section I heard this amazing new melody line in it. I'm sure this is a result from the Perfect Pitch Ear Training program. You can't image just how excited I was. I was bouncing up and down on my chair for the rest of the session.

Have a magical day!!!

P.S. I'll continue to tell all my music friends about Perfect Pitch.KEYBOARDIST, IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

Take this
test:
Do any of these apply to you?
o I get nervous when I play in front of people.
o People say I sing (and/or play) out of tune.
o I can’t figure out chord progressions without trial and error on my instrument.
o It’s hard for me to transpose songs to new keys.
o I improvise poorly because I can’t envision the tones I want to play.
o I try to steal licks from songs, but the tones flash by too quickly.
o I have all these incredible musical ideas “in my head,” but I can’t seem to play them without a lot of bad notes.
o It’s embarrassing when I get lost while performing and I can’t find my place.
o It takes me longer than I like to learn and memorize a new tune.
o I have difficulty singing harmony.
o My friends seem to enjoy music more than me because they have a better ear for it.
o My playing is caught in a rut that I can’t seem to climb out of.

For years, we have heard a common complaint against Perfect Pitch. It goes something like this:

"I would never want to have Perfect Pitch, because then if a piece is transposed into a new key, it would confuse me."

And our answer is: YES, this could happen! But only if you have Perfect Pitch and NOT Relative Pitch.

This sort of complaint is like saying: I would rather watch a black and white TV, because if I watch a color TV, the colors may confuse me.

The colors will NOT confuse you, IF you have a clear picture. So again, Relative Pitch is needed:

Q. What's it like to hear with Perfect Pitch?

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.

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 Experience

Perfect Pitch is the ability to know exact tones and chords BY EAR — and to sing any pitch at will from memory. This refined hearing sense leads to a host of exceptional talents and skills for any musician, as we shall see later on this site.

Q. I'm talented, but I could never have Perfect Pitch. What if I don't believe?

You don't have to believe. You'll hear it with your own ears on the Perfect Pitch Ear Training SuperCourse by David Lucas Burge — the #1 world best-selling ear training method for 30 years.

Welcome to Personalized Ear Training
with David Lucas Burge

Ear training is much more than a computer guessing game. Ear training is an ART.

Once you experience the ART of ear training as taught by David Lucas Burge, you'll feel the proven power of his unique methods to achieve all your musical goals.

David Lucas will introduce you to the phenomenal worlds of both Perfect Pitch and Relative Pitch. You'll discover how easy and FUN it is to acquire a great ear with his two best-selling ear training methods:

1. The Perfect Pitch® Ear Training SuperCourse, where you will learn to name exact notes and chords — BY EAR — and sing exact notes from MEMORY. Proven at leading universities and by musicians in 120 countries, you're in for an ear awakening.

2. The Relative Pitch Ear Training SuperCourse is a goldmine of knowledge where you will learn to understand and speak the language of music — BY EAR.

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.

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.

As your ear becomes more alert, you may 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.
