Hi David. A link that has helped me (thanks to Ric Brekne) is: http://home.broadpark.no/~rbrekne/beats.html It demonstrates the different beat speeds very nicely. Perhaps you are already past this stage but I thought it might help. Good luck!

Stang Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 11:57 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: In need of some encouragement Friends, I'm feeling a little bit discouraged for two reasons. First, I am really struggling with my aural temperament tuning. I understand intellectually how it is supposed to fit together, how all the intervals ought to beat, and so on. But I have been practicing at home and at customers' homes for a few months now, and I still just can't do it right. By "do it right" I mean get it close enough to pass the RPT exam (I use my ETD to test myself). My main problem, I think, is, I just can't always hear the beats.
