well stated.
 
In learning music theory, the joy of listening to music is greatly  
magnified. You can hear "into" the music and it takes on a wonderful three  dimensional 
quality. You can also start to appreciate how different musicians  deal with 
different specific aspects and challenges presented within the  music.
 
A good place to start is David Burghe's Relative Pitch Course, which  teaches 
you to recognize intervals, voicings and hear within clusters. He's the  guy 
that developed that Perfect Pitch Course many have seen in music trade  
magazines.
