Thank you for these. So many people think you can't learn it. I'm glad you're doing this.
I think a good analogy to explain PP to someone who doesn't have it is to ask them how they know the difference between spoken letters.
When I say "A" or "J" or "K" or "Z" someone instantly knows which letter I spoke. How?
Well they just sound different. Your ear knows which one was said because you have enough awareness to hear it. There's no thought behind it. It's just a natural ability for you.
Same with PP. F# just sounds different to all the other notes. Eb sounds a different way.
I like this analogy because it relates to chords. If two people say a random letter at the same time. e.g Person 1 says "C" and person 2 says "X", your ear can still tell which two letters were said. It can pick out the two separate sounds.
But as you add more and more sounds it gets harder. Can you hear what 5 people said?
Maybe.
Same thing with notes. Most PP people could hear a 2 or 3 note chord and know which notes were played. But 7 or 8 notes is less common because it's harder. It's a higher level of PP.
Or you have to listen to the chord a few different times to hear all the sounds within it.
David Lucas Burge has a great course on how to learn PP. His RP course is also great.

I finally watched video #2! It's very interesting that without having watched this video completely before, I already had practiced recognizing chords playing random notes on the piano in different octaves. I must admit it's not a piece of cake but it has become easier with time. And I've also noticed that my brain sometimes battles between whether to use relative or absolute pitch but my hearing is leaning way more towards the absolute pitch. I am not even thinking anymore about intervals, my brain is not analizying them anymore. It's focusing more on the individual notes.

Awesome analogies! The bucket analogy is tough, because absolute pitch is not limited to 12 buckets per octave, but I think your point is clear. Especially in the context of the other analogies. Also, these drills are essentially the same that David Lucas Burge teaches in his course. Did you go through his course?

I developed absolute pitch too, but the sense of touch thing you describe is pretty foreign to me. For me, it's a mix of sensations- mainly linguistic, emotional/gut, visual experience. I'm female though, so I don't know if that's effecting my experience as we tend to have more extensive connections between right and left hemispheres. The 12 bucket analogy you describe is true though in my case.

hey first of all thanks for great videos. i have a problem about singing 2 notes at the same time. sometimes i sing higher note first in lower octave then lower note in higher octave. i cant control it. what is my problem. i think i am singing ascending but its actually descending.
sorry for my bad english :(

Great analogy, it really does feel like you can literally feel the notes, it's like it becomes a real object inside of your brain.
EDIT: Video describing the qualities of the notes (how I hear them), hope this is vaguely helpful to anyone wanting a description - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va3mqulRnJE

Thanks for your videos, but I honestly didn't get the exact movements that you offer to do everyday? Do you mean we should sit with piano and play the single notes, then intervals, then chords and sing them after playing? Or what is the exact exercise? Because if this is the exercise then my brain only will learn to extract single notes out of an interval (or chord), which is of course nice, but perfect pitch doesn't mean that you can extract notes, it means that you also know the name of the notes that you, in this case, extract. So how this exercise should help to develop the "sound to name" attachment in my brain? Looking forward to hear some answer from you.

Thanks for this video! My only concern with focusing on this method alone is that it can alienate you from listeners. Most people primarily hear music as contextual scale degrees as oppose to intervals or pitches. That is why a melody will be recognizable when played in any key. It also works if you mix up the octaves in which the notes of a melody are played - which shows that it is not intervals either (try playing twinkle little star alternating notes between your left hand on the low octaves of the piano and right hand/upper octave). Also, 440 tuning is just a recent random standard. The sound spectrum is like the light spectrum in that it can be divided an infinite amount of ways and locations. It's like saying you can only paint with 12 colours and anything else is wrong. Because I only have "scale degree" relative pitch, I cannot say, but is listening to music in A430 for instance uncomfortable in any way? Thanks!

I've noticed you start your phrases in your sentences in C and follow E and go for around G a lot of the time, and I've also learned previously from an academic study that east Asians who's languages use different pitches for expressing different meanings from the same syllable or word, have more of an average score for perfect pitch. It was interesting for me to notice that similar concept happening on your speech voice.
