But suppose they had "been trained"  to hear out of tuneness.  Is
this only takes  a 1.5 hour seminar as far as unisons and octaves
are concerned.  Or a 20 minute video even.   That this can't be
given to high school students or freshman music majors will always
make me wonder.  Until then how do you expect them to appreciate
that magic of music we call "temperament" ?
