I would definitely be interested in knowing how ya did it...
I really like this site for everything theory related. It has good ear training apps also http://www.musictheory.net/
Regarding your comment, I have read that it is not possible to "learn" perfect pitch after a certain age. Basically, you would have needed to be exposed to a significant amount of music/training during your early and formative years. Somewhere between 3-5 years old. Depressing huh? Makes me mad at my parents.
What you can learn, is relative pitch. This means that instead of being able to hear a note and realize the name, you can tell the interval between two notes that are played back to back.
Again thought, I truly believe there is such a thing as tone deafness similar to color blindness. Some people just do not have the ability to distinguish different tones. This is why they sing out of tune. I don't think people suffering from this would be able to even learn relative pitch.
