nellsonic..
I have heard that before too.. not exactly like that. but that all people are born with the ability for perfect pitch, and that allows people to master tonal languages.
However, i also wonder about higher rates of perfect pitch in asia due to the fact that parents pick ONE activity for children, and go gungho at it... so if music is the activity.. they start preparing at birth, so they are basically learning perfect pitch the same way the young students i get are.
After saying that, as the divide between rich and poor stretches in china, the rich kids are being brought up in much more 'western' ways.. western diets, western levels of activities.
but if you ever wonder at those wonder children at the olympics? Those kids are chosen at a young age, and sent to a school where all they do is sport..... it is therefore no surprise that they excel at it.
My dilemma still exists... when initially teaching the notes to a child.. do i sing at the pitch of the clarinet or at concert. And if i was to get them to listen to a CD of the repertoire, do i place that at their played pitch, or at concert?
