Would also be interested in replies to this.

Things that I could think of:
*Listening to a wide variety of music as often as possible
*Downloading free aural programs like Good Ear and Aurelia (demo version)
*If you can play the piano play cadences and things like that to yourself until you know them
*Hofnote is a good aural site which needs paying but it helps

It won't happen overnight, so be prepared for it to take time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My music teacher told us to play 'Guess the Composer'. Tune into Radio 3 or Classic FM and try to guess the composer of the piece playing - its great for learning what styles the composers wrote and how to distinguish between them all in the characteristics of the musics. Its hard going to start with but it really helped my aural skills.
