I wish I had perfect pitch. Never really had any musical training that required notes to be known, rather than just knowing what to press/play when that note appears. i.e. I know how to play a C, but won't be able to name a C when I hear one.

I dont have the perfect pitch, but i have the perfect A, probably with all the times i tuned my guitar, a A is in my head now. Since i have a good relative pitch with my the help of my solfege classes, its easy for me to sing any other notes.

@Ack1027: I didn't know you could lose perfect pitch. Crap. I hope I don't lose mine, haha. I utilize it almost every day though. btw, how old are you now?



I'm 20 now. I played piano from 4-13 and did the choir thing from 11-13 I think. Anyway, I've played other instruments for short periods [ like a year ] drums, violin, cello etc but I haven't touched a melodic instrument since I quit piano so that would probably explain why I lost active perfect pitch.

I did really well on the flash game on medium 9/10 and around 6/10 on advanced since I did that one first. I wouldn't say that you can definitely ' lose ' your active perfect pitch, it may just well be that I'm one of those people who trained enough to perform my brain in that way.

In fact, I wouldn't consider myself very musically talented, just above average.

i went through level 12 and then closed it

any one i got wrong was a matter of remembering the notes in the thing i was supposed to play, i don't know what an A or a G is but counting from the bottom note up the scale and matching the pitch to the button proved to be 100% effective

i dont know shit about piano and i learned to play guitar by ear

Yea I got through that game extremely easily because I've play piano. However, I don't think I have active perfect pitch. I can guess a pitch upon hearing a piano note easily, but other instruments might give me more trouble.

Yeah this is real perfect pitch.

There's definitely the two kinds - one where you're born with it, and the other where you learn pitch memory and use the pitch you've memorized along with relative pitch to recognize pitches out in the open.
Super serious.

I actually have three friends who have perfect pitch...it's amusing. I used to be in a band with a couple of them, and somehow it never failed to amuse to use them as tuners instead.

It is trainable. It's true that you can be born with a certain affinity for it, but it's also something that can be observed and trained.

A very simple way to start learning perfect pitch is to observe a song that you know incredibly, incredibly well. Something that you can hear in your head perfectly. Take the first note in the song and learn what it is. That way, if you ever hear a note that's not that note. you just find where that note is relative to the note you have learned. And as you train it up, you can learn a song that starts on each note. Once you have a few notes down that you can hear in your head as a reference, it also helps with keeping the other songs in line. For instance, if you hear a note that you think might be the starting note in a certain song, but you're not certain, you can try the song "Above", and if that too doesn't sound right, you know you're probably in the wrong key.

I don't know if this is an established method, but it's one I've sorta come up with and has helped me a lot in ear training.

edit: Ah yes, the difference between "perfect pitch" and "relative pitch". =p Call it what you want, but this game and pitch recognition is trainable.

I'm having trouble finding it, but a survey was done (I think) last year studying perfect pitch. The basic conclusion was that you either have it, or you don't. You can train a very good ear, but it won't hold shit against a person born with perfect pitch...especially if they've had even a little training with it as well.

Perfect pitch on a person born with it can be much more powerful than just being able to quickly identify a pitch from a memorized reference point.

I don't know if what i have is perfect pitch
i could score a perfect on that flash game but just because i can sing an "A" and i would just figure out the interval from A

Is it perfect pitch even though the only note i can hum without thinking is an A?

The game name is a misnomer. It in no ways can teach you perfect pitch, because for me once I hear the first note and know what it is, I can automatically get the rest of them. I did "hard" and got to level 6 without missing all but the first note. I have really good relative pitch, but pretty much all music majors who've passed Aural Skills 151 could do it. I don't have perfect pitch but I know a lot of guys who do. They're usually the kids who started on Violin at the age of Three and did the Suzuki program. It's nothing special really... but it sure is handy to have.
