why not try buying a tuner? You can just set it up on your music stand.

most people will never have perfect pitch. those who are born will it are blessed, but i have seen a website where the guy claims to have learned perfect pitch and he sells his course on cd.
www.eartraining.com
he sells a perfect pitch and relative pitch training course. don't know if they really work though.

besides, it's all a matter of learning. only deaf people are tone deaf. that coming from my ASL(American Sign Language) teacher.

you can learn to have a great sense of relative pitch. it helps with improv and all other aspects of playing. a private tutor can suggest a lot.
playing two notes harmonically and then singing them out loud is a good start. then go to triads, etc.
hope this helps.

I'm working on relative pitch now for my theory class...
www.good-ear.com is what I'm using for practice. Free and easy to use =)
They have a few things for perfect pitch as well.

Actually there are studies which claim it is the other way round, that everyone is born with perfect pitch, but this is lost in the later development, see for example

If so, why should you not be able to relearn it? But don't forget that even if you have got perfect pitch since your birth, the names of sounds of certain pitches are still learned. Scales and their pitches are just an arbitrary convention, there are many other systems than the A=440 equally tempered scale used in modern Western music we are usually referring to.
