Thanks much, Emmitt, that's a good technique alright. I like learning things from several different perspectives. What I like about your teacher's technique is that it gives you a physical representation. What I like about using the solfeggio method (do re mi's) is that it lets you imagine the musical tones. The approach that worked the best for me was the number system, and that was after learning standard music theory from the Piston book in college. The more, the better. Thanks again.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
