Is perfect pitch impressive?
Being able to name notes you hear can seem like a magical ability, and when you meet someone with “perfect pitch” it can be impressive and inspiring.
Can you teach perfect pitch?
Typically, those with absolute pitch, often called perfect pitch, start their musical training young, before the age of 7. However, a small study by a group of University of Chicago psychologists suggests perfect pitch can be taught to adults, to some extent.
Is it bad to have perfect pitch?
While having absolute (or perfect) pitch might be cool and helpful in a lot of ways, it's not a required ability for most any musical activity. It is, however, especially helpful for singers, whose voices serve as their instruments and must sometimes sing notes directly from sheet music alone.
