Yes, you are right- the recording is done at A=415. My teacher was pretty
sure that that was a whole step, but if it just a half step it really isn't
worth it. Besides, I would rather sing a Bb than an A any day. Go
figure............

I have a lesson today and I am sure we will discuss this......looks to me
like it might be more trouble than it is worth!

Thanks to you and to Karen and Yvonne!
