I think, also, that training has a lot to do with the issue of being "tone deaf" as mentioned in an earlier message.

I had a college professor that stated she didn't believe in the term "tone deaf".

We had a few people in our sight-singing and ear training class that learned very quickly that actually listening to themselves is very important if not the most important thing when trying to learn a new or unfamiliar piece.

It was very interesting and intriguing to watch someone who came into the class not knowing what they sounded like and to "learn" how to get on pitch and stay there.
