Where can I find non-commercial online resources for Aural Training?

Input a search for Aural training or ear training or music theory for that matter and you will get thousands of "learn music fast" through our software sights. All of them attempting to sell "their" method of music theory. What I haven't yet found is a site that satisfies my desire to merely learn Aural Techniques and exercises in a non-commerce driven website envrionment. I have found musictheory.net which is on the right track. What I would love to do is take a class in Aural Skills at a University or College but I know that it will be at least 10 months before I can start something like that. So what do I do until then? Here are some specifics of what I seek:

1) A site that is non-commercial (ads on the page are fine just no "subscribe to our system" sites") and formatted so that one could move through lesson plans.

2) Preferably a site that will not jump past important concepts in a single sentence and will offer a concrete timeline or syllabus to help structure my lessons.

3) A site that encourages dialogue with its audience (web 2.0 if you will) and is partially contributory in nature.

So, is it out there?

There is this one. Pretty old-school but there is a forum attached to the site and the info is accurate. Also, if you want dialogue, you might try visiting a forum for whatever instrument you play. For more specific responses, what instrument do you play? and what exactly are you hoping to learn? what level are you at already?

You might have already found it, but www.good-ear.com has a pretty extensive and free ear-training quiz system.

This is a good interval ear training website that relies on popular songs
