Absolute pitch is useless for piano... there is no potential to select the wrong note if you follow the sheet music.

Useful for singing, tuning, transcription or violin maybe...



Son, music isn't about hitting the notes as fast as you can. What the fuck are you doing lol.

Loved reading this.

I'm a musician myself(a vocalist, studying Choral Music Education) and this story resonated with me. I've had many similar difficulties in my musical journey, but over time I overcame them and am progressing in my abilities both as a vocalist and as a musician in general. I still face more and more difficulties in music every day, but such is life

I'm in the process of learning piano myself(I've seen too many choir directors struggle with the piano-I do not want to be one of them) and this was very inspirational for me. A lot of times, I feel like I'm not improving when I play piano, and so I stop practicing, which of course means that I don't improve at all. Reading this gave me a new drive to work at my piano abilities. Thank you
