Hi Chris, And I can categorically state that you *can* learn to tune aurally by using a "machine". It depends on the willingness of the student as you so clearly state. There was even a Mac program that trained students to set temperaments, and practise unisons as well as octaves.. Unfortunately this program has never been updated so it runs on only a very few Macs. I'd love for someone to write one for windows--now that it is possible to do so. I believe Mark Anderson was the creator of the program.
