Summary: No Fluff, the Right Stuff
Review: This method is excellent! If you didn't get that - this method is excellent. If you're willing to put in the time it pays off. I have been working on the exercises from this book for almost a year and my ear has improved tremendously. Follow Mr. Arnolds directions in the book exactly as spelled out and you will do yourself a big favor. He has put in the time learning this material himself and knows all the pitfalls of doing it wrong and has a distilled method that works. He learned from the pros and has published what he learned. If you want a nice glossy book with lots of cool pictures and esoteric quotes about "intuitive osmotic resonance sensing" this isn't for you. If you want something that works get it, do it, and you'll be amazed. The bottom line is you have to the work for the results. I have noticed some reviews that note the starkness of Mr. Arnold's books. His books are all substance and no jive! He shows his dedication to the material he presents by providing a FAQ section on the museek Website. You can submit a question and he answers it right away, sometimes in minutes, never more that 24 hours. That really surprised me!

Review: Whoa, This book gives you many ways to develop your ear! The method presented in this book really shows you why just learning intervals isn't even close to the right development of your ear. I highly recommend this book
