Perfect pitch has been thought of as something you are born with!.
There are courses that claim to teach perfect pitch!. If you put "perfect pitch" into a search you will find a few!.
Perfect pitch is not the same for everyone!. Some can name any note played!. Some can name a group of notes played, and there are extremes that could tell how many vibrations per second, or tell if it is A 440 or A 442!.
With study!. what many call relative perfect pitch can be developed by most!. Relative is when if you hear one note and can find out what it is, you can then know what notes follow!.
To test your self!. relax and sing a scale!. find the note that feels most comfortable!. Check it on an instrument to see what it is!. Later do the same thing!. In most cases if you do this on a regular basis the note that you are comfortable with will be the same!. From there you can build!. My comfortable note is a flat in the bass clef!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi Treble

Anybody can learn perfect pitch and some answers here are off-track!.

Their is a secret to perfect pitch and it is very simple!. Learn th recognize the A-440 pitch on a piano, which is middle A note!.

Once you memorize that sound, then you can use it as a starting point and try singing one tone higher and compate this with the B sound on the piano!. Or , go down and compare with the G note!. etc!.!.!.

also, anybody who can sing on key has a form of perfect pitch!. Otherwise, he or she would sing off-key correct !?!?!?!?

Another secret is to listen and play with a lot of music to develop ear-training!. Once you have a good ear, you will be able to pick up keys of a song without touching your instrument!.

Lastly, perfect pitch has NOTHING to go as to the quality of the musician!. NADA!. Some musicans go deaf and they play by memory knowing exactly what each note sound like and without making a mistake!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depending on where you live, you can use the hum of electrical appliances to start you off on the right pitch!. In the USA they hum on B-flat!. In Europe they hum on a high G-sharp!. (I can't tell about other places)!.

After some months of practice on a piece, singers often develop a "feel" for where the notes are on a particular song and can start it on pitch!.

My experience with those perfect pitch systems is that they may help you but on the whole don't seem to work well unless you keep practicing it every day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anyone can learn perfect pitch, I myself started learning perfect pitch 10 years ago!.

One of the easiest ways to start is to take a song you know by heart and use it as a reference point to other notes!.

For example, I used a song called Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes!. The bassline starts on an E natural!. I could always think of that song in my head in the right key so I used that as a reference point for the note E!.

I kept using reference points for other songs until I came to the point about 5 years ago that I didn't need reference points to think of a note anymore!.

It can be any song, as long as you can always think of it in the right key in your head!. It takes a lot of mental practice, but it's well worth it!. As with anything, if you don't practice it, it won't happen so don't be discouraged if you don't get it right away!.

Best of luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

With practice and experience you can get close, but true perfect pitch is just a sense you either have or you don't!. No amount of practice will give you perfect pitch, though you can get close!. The most important part of it is ear training exercises and being able to differentiate between tones!. Being on pitch starts with one's ability to hear when they are on and off pitchWww@QuestionHome@Com

Perfect pitch is an amazing gift!. My brother has it, and everyone thinks he's the most amazing kid in the universe!. I don't think it's possible to obtain it!. I think I have relative pitch, but I haven't tested it, so I don't know for sure!. But perfect pitch is something I don't think you can learn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Usually perfect pitch is something that comes naturally, so it can take a lot of work!. Lots and lots of practice, and listen to everything, all kinds of music!. Make sure it is something that you work on everyday!. It might take some time but if you work you'll get there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
