NOTE the published paper has a mistake. I have corrected this in the version on this site. A correction note will appear in Analysis.

To back up this implausible claim I describe a programme whereby individuals can learn to identify the components in musical tones. I also claim that following this programme can affect one's pitch-recognition capacities.

Truths about one can be turned into truths about the other. I state this more carefully, and show how standard issues in epistemology correspond to parallel issues about action.

This paper tries to state the question more carefully, with an emphasis on differences between actual and possible thinking species.
