 Re: Perfect Pitch

I've always assumed that those who claim to have 'the sense of perfect pitch' are in the same category as those who claim to have 'the sense of psychic powers' More of an ego thing. And who decided that A440 was perfect anyway.


But I know a number of my fellow musicians who have an excellent 'sense of pitch' in that they have a good ear for intonation and can pre-hear intervals & chord progressions ect. All of them can play by ear any tune after they've heard it once or twice. It is apparently natural to them. This is my take on the so called 'sense of perfect pitch'
As for the rest of us , we just have to train ourselves to listen and over time our 'ear' developes a 'sense of pitch'

But then there are those 'head cold days' when it all goes out the window for a while.
