Personal recommendations, in order:

1. Watch for any Jonathan Lewis seminar. http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/ (Check http://www.psoug.org for some possibilities in the near future.)
2. HotSOS seminars and courses. http://www.hotsos.com/
3. Oracle's "Oracle Database 10g: Performance Tuning" http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D19165GC10&p_org_id=46777&lang=US&source_call=

That last one ... I've taught it and the material it covers is truly decent. Depending on the instructor, this covers exactly what you want for information, but has a heavy bent to using the OEM!
