Hi, Why three months on just unisons? Sounds like you mean he should work on Stability. Either he will be able to hear the beating quickly and accurately in a week or he will not. I would also suggest borrowing an accu tuner and connecting the filter output to a small amplifier--that way he can train to listen *not* at the fundamental but at the 4 or higher partial. Another factor that you have not mentioned--does he play a musical instrument like trombone or a stringed instrument where he has already learned to hear beating? If so things will go much faster. And if he doesn't play the piano now--then he should go to the best teacher you can find and get busy!
