Absolute pitch trainer6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() So my initial training was clearly not perfect and it only worked in a relatively simple setting. Interestingly when I tried to test my new skill using the app's interval testing setting (designed for relative pitch but my aim here was to extend PP testing), it took a while again before I could get good at this level. I used another PP app and eventually got "perfect" at a single-note test using the piano setting of that app. ![]() To Dmitry and your request for feedback, I can't see your app since it's on iOS but I can share some thoughts based on my limited experience and interest in this subject. When tunings started to approach a half-step off from what I had learned, I was at a huge disadvantage. It had some advantages, like being able to tune to a 440 A without any reference like a tuning fork, or being able to call out any chord or key, as long as it was based on 430 to to 445. I happened to be one who was either blessed or cursed with "perfect pitch". What I would recommend is that people work on their RELATIVE pitch skills, since in every musical format, what really matters is tuning notes to pitches produced by other performers around them, or by oneself, and this has little or nothing to do with some sort of univeral "correct pitch" notion, however one would wish to define this. What a nightmare! The pitches I needed to produce did not correspond with the notes written on the page. I was mostly a violinist, but played B-flat trumpet in the middle school band. A different tuning can present a huge challenge to those who have learned their "perfect pitch" and note names around a particular frequency, which includes just about everyone with "perfect pitch". "I don't see how having PP could conflict with or prevent you from acquiring RP." ![]() I simply saw that there was some interest in the subject in the forum and thought that I could find someone here who already has experience with methods used to develop the ability, and probably will give me some valuable feedback.ĭavid Burgess Edited: April 26, 2020, 1:14 PM I was not trying to persuade someone here to buy my app nor claiming that all musicians should strive to develop PP. The few musicians with PP I know personally, have mind-blowing abilities related to the relative pitch and harmonical hearing. I don't know any musician who has PP and doesn't have RP. I don't see how having PP could conflict with or prevent you from acquiring RP. While we can not say for sure whether the possession of PP was a prerequisite or the result of having a great music talent, we can not deny that many great composers had(have) this ability.ģ. Without any thoughts of belittling other music specialities, I think most will agree that the highest form of manifestation of music talent is music composition. I see some logic when people say that PP can be a disadvantage with some music activities, like playing in a not-standard tuning, or playing a transposing instrument.Ģ. So I could only give my current personal opinions about the subject which could change in future.ġ. Partly because I don't have perfect pitch myself, and can not currently fully estimate all the pros and cons of having this ability. I don't have any desire to participate in this kind of discussion. īefore starting to work on the app, during the research phase on the subject, I read tons of posts on different forums where people were arguing whether PP is a blessing or curse. ![]()
