Relative Pitch is Like a Sharply Focused TV

Burge is the first person to say thatRelative Pitch is the mind’s understanding of what the ear hears. It was easy and brilliant.

The average teacher would tell you that Relative Pitch is all about learning music intervals, chords, and all aspects of a professional ear for music. Burge agrees, but he goes much further than this.

For the first time in music education, Burge explains how Perfect Pitch and Relative Pitch are different levels of musical awareness. He explains that one cannot replace the other and that both are required for a complete musical ear.

Most people listen to music in a way that is out of focus, like watching a black and white TV. Gaining Relative Pitch is similar to bringing a fuzzy picture into focus so you can see what is really happening. Adding the rich color experience to the black and white picture is what Gaining Perfect Pitch is about.

Burge means that most people don’t know what’s going on in the music. They get a general impression when they hear a bunch of tones.

You can see clearly what is happening in the music with Relative Pitch.

You know the exact tones that are being played when you add the experience of Perfect Pitch. You enjoy the complete artistic perception of music when combined with Relative Pitch.

Burge is the only music teacher who has ever explained these concepts in such detail.

Burge has a website that explains how Perfect Pitch and Relative Pitch work.

Why bother with ear training?

Burge answered the question of Why should I bother to learn this stuff in the first place?

He says that a performer can only perform as well as their ear can hear.

If you are a composer, your ear can only think up and compose.

As a listener, you can only enjoy as much as your ear can hear.

Burge says that if we improve our ears, we will improve our capacities as musicians.

The reasons are more than compelling, they express a wisdom and joy of music as a profound art of listening.

Burge’s Relative Pitch SuperCourse – yes, it’s a lot of CDs!

Burge gently encourages you to go for it and gain the complete ear tune-up that he will put you through on his Relative Pitch Ear Training SuperCourse, a whopping 41 audio CDs.

Burge believes that ear training should not be a case of ear straining or fear training, but rather a fun challenge that anyone can master.

The purpose of his drills and exercises is to investigate the depths and layers of music. You can explore deeper than just the melody line with his drills. Gaining a deeper appreciation and skill in music is possible with greater knowledge. Everything in music is dependent on how well your ear hears.

The only requirement for this course is to listen.

The importance of musical spelling is explained by Burge. Using musical language with authority shows a thorough comprehension and mastery of its grammar.

Burge’s teachings go far beyond the scope of academia to encompass a wide range of musical tastes. His students range from classical to jazz.

To wrap it up …

Burge has a step-by-step approach to Relative Pitch ear training.

It is a lot of CDs. You will never experience music in the same way again when you finish listening to these.

I say, go for it!
