Perfect Pitch is the ability to recognize and produce notes by name on command. You probably can't develop perfect pitch if you don't already have it, but you can get pretty close with relative pitch and pitch memorization.

The graphics were hilarious and the explanations were very well done so that any level of music experience could understand. Subscribed!

I am norwegian and “gift” is actually poison in norwegian aswell, just like in german. So “gift” can mean married AND poison, it just depends on the context of how it’s used in a sentence. Don’t ask me if there’s a reason for why…

Very interesting and educational video that doesn't hate perfect pitch or think that people without it are worse musicians. And your examples were perfect, congratulations!

As someone with perfect pitch, I just wanna say that sometimes, it’s better not to have it. This is just my personal opinion. And through my personal experiences, sometimes perfect pitch can be quite annoying. Whenever I hear a song, I usually hear the notes themselves instead of the actual tune and melody. Like instead of just being able to listen and enjoy, I am saying what note each note is in my head, and I can’t control it. :(. So don’t worry if u\you don’t have perfect pitch, it is not necessary if you want to become a great musician or anything!

My ex is definitely that UNM(untrained natural musician) category. Its really a phenomenom to witness that. Its like something else. Could harmonize, make whole songs in her head, every part, and every single detail just in her head! Not jealous, not jealous at all :D

I was never musically inclined as a kid. I started taking band in middle school for the easy grades, and after a few years I started to develop an "early stage" of perfect pitch, where I could tell you what a played note was most of the time & sing an instructed note less often. Jump to today, and I have the curse of total perfect pitch; I call it a curse because everything has a pitch that my brain now automatically tries to listen for. Even after stepping back from band & choir entirely, some friends still want me to "do the note thing" as a party trick, and that's honestly the only enjoyable part of it right now.

I'm a violinist and that part about tuning pitch memorization is so true, I can easily pick out E5, A4, D4, and G3 and relative pitch to pretty much any note I need. It's so nice to finally get an in depth explanation to this

Finally something that talks about the spectrum between having good ears and having perfect pitch! I have memorized the notes C, D, E, G, and A, but when asked if I have perfect pitch in the past, I have had no idea how to respond. Thank you for this in-depth and easily-relatable description about this topic!

I rarely ever talk about my absolute pitch or even demonstrate it at rehearsals because I know it's socially a touchy subject; even when, for example, I know the key a singer's in and the other musicians are trying to find it, I've learned to keep quiet because it can come off as being pedantic, which I guess is understandable. There's also a lot of misinformation online. Something to add to this great video is that you can improve your AP with practice: you can learn to recognize microtones and all the notes in really complex chords for instance :)

back in elementary school, when we had music class, i used to practice scales on melodica and recorder. it's so repetitive to the point where it's engraved inside my brain. i can identify any pitch on different instruments too. now my friends think i have perfect pitch, but in reality, i don't have it. i can't tell if the note is exactly on pitch or not.

I learned piano when I was ten, on an old piano that had not been tuned in years, so it had been tuned to itself, but nearly one semi-tone lower than A-440. This messed with my sense of pitch.

My freshman music theory professor memorized what a G was from binge-watching The Office and not skipping the intro. No perfect pitch, but now he can find stuff pretty well without it. As for me, I have perfect pitch (or “the curse” as I call it) and learning B-flat trumpet years after starting piano was well…a trip and a half. Also, American music schools emphasize relative pitch over absolute, so in sight-singing and dictation classes the examples would almost always be transposed some amount Edit: Should also mention, a lot of people with perfect pitch (especially untrained) don’t hear key relationships well. For the longest time, I could sing a song in a different key just fine, as long as there wasn’t a key change. It took years to be able to mentally transpose key changes. Also, for me, hearing something in a different key changes the meaning, so if there’s a song I like, being sung by someone who’s voice I like, but in a key that I feel isn’t amicable to the song, I can’t listen.

I am the UNM. When I was a toddler, my parents knew the love I had for music so they provided me with stereo systems groing up and basic low quality instruments. During middle school, they tried getting me into learning guitar, but I quit after a couple of months because my fingers couldn't handle it. Decades go by... I still have a love for music and I got into DJing and music production using drum machines. While making drum grooves, I needed to add rhythms and melodies, so i purchased a midi keyboard and some sound modules. I started playing around with the keys and I blew my mind own what type of grooves I came up with with no prior experience. Later on, I needed bass lines, so I bought a bass guitar and blew my mind once again when I was able to identify the pitches I was looking for. Today, I am able to play bass lines and follow along to songs I've never heard before. I still can't read music, but my friends who are experienced musicians were blown away at what I could do because they require sheet music in order to play. They told me that if I was able to read music, I would be a musical genius. I agree, I should havenever stopped learning the guitar.

Having perfect pitch because of my synesthesia means that transposed instruments can drive me nuts!!! I had such a hard time with it in music education classes for band in college, (but my musical “color” perception made theory and aural skills a breeze). I certainly understand why people with perfect pitch would prefer to go with instruments and ensembles that are already concert pitch or in octaves (chorale and guitar ensemble for me). I remember going on a chorale music tour in Europe and the conductor’s pitch pipe broke right before we had to sing in Leipzig at Bach’s tomb. The conductor looked at me and said “Would you give starting pitches?” Talk about nerves… Wait, does that mean I was the concert master? 😁

Something that I really like is that you emphasized that you don’t have to have AP to be a good musician. I’m a singer, and most of my peers think they can never reach my level of musicianship BECAUSE of my AP, which is definitely not true. They also reduce my 7 years of experience in vocal practice and rehearsals and performances to having AP which is frustrating because I worked hard to become a better musician too! There’s so much more that goes into music besides reproducing “correct” notes. I haven’t finished the race by any means, I just have a head start. You can always improve your musicianship, even with AP.
