Are you able to sing an F note without hearing a reference tone first? Then you\u2019re part of a lucky minority of people who have absolute pitch.<\/p>\n
One in 10,000 people has absolute pitch, which is also known as perfect pitch<\/a>. You\u2019re in good company, too. Mozart, Beethoven, Ella Fitzgerald, and Michael Jackson were all thought to have absolute pitch.<\/p>\n Hassane Slaibi, one of the Roadie Tuner<\/a> founders, is also in the absolute pitch club. His innate talent is one of the secret ingredients that makes Roadie 2<\/a> such a great tool for the rest of us mere mortals.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I thought we should take a closer look at the absolute pitch phenomenon to see what we can learn from it.<\/p>\n I came across an article with the sensational headline \u2018How I developed perfect pitch in 30 days at 24 years old<\/a>\u2019, and thought there might be hope for me yet.<\/p>\n The author practiced his pitch for 35 minutes every day for 30 days. The result was the perfect pitch. Fascinating stuff.<\/p>\n My BS detector tends to go off when something sounds too good to be true. So I looked up some scientific studies on absolute pitch, and unfortunately, science says \u2018no\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, the study, which involved over 2,000 participants, did suggest there might be a single gene responsible for absolute pitch.<\/p>\n Who knows? If we live long enough for designer babies<\/a> to become a reality, then absolute pitch might become the norm!<\/p>\nCan You Develop it?<\/h2>\n
Do You Have Absolute Pitch?<\/h2>\n
