PLoS ONE 14(9):Įditor: Yafit Gabay, University of Haifa Faculty of Education, ISRAEL Implications for theories of AP acquisition are discussed.Ĭitation: Van Hedger SC, Heald SLM, Nusbaum HC (2019) Absolute pitch can be learned by some adults. Overall, these results demonstrate that explicit perceptual training in some adults can lead to AP performance that is behaviorally indistinguishable from AP that manifests within a critical period of development. Yet, it is also important to note that a majority of the participants only exhibited modest improvements in performance, suggesting that adult AP learning is difficult and that near-perfect levels of AP may only be achievable by subset of adults. The results also did not appear to be driven by extreme familiarity with a single instrument or octave range, as the post-training AP assessments used eight different timbres and spanned over seven octaves. Alternative explanations of these positive results, such as improving accuracy through adopting a slower, relative pitch strategy, are not supported based on joint analyses of response time and accuracy. Here, we demonstrate that these “genuine” levels of AP performance can be achieved within eight weeks of training for at least some adults, with the best learner passing all measures of AP ability after training and retaining this knowledge for at least four months after training. Although recent research has shown that adults can improve AP performance in a single training session, the best learners still did not achieve note classification levels comparable to performance of a typical, “genuine” AP possessor. Just remember that this is of great help in order to get a perfect pitch.Absolute pitch (AP), the rare ability to name any musical note without the aid of a reference note, is thought to depend on an early critical period of development. I have prepared precise and tested exercises for it too. ![]() It is the ability of putting sounds in relation of giving a harmonic and melodic sense to them it is the ear musicality, the hearing harmonic sense. Relative pitch is more important than perfect pitch, according to many persons I think they are both important.ĭeveloping relative pitch is much clearer. Also if I have not acquired perfect pitch, my ear has developed very much. In these pages, I am publishing precise exercises in order to learn how to get perfect pitch I have dedicated 4 years of my life to this aim. Perfect pitch is a not only genetic gift developing in the first childhood years, a person has to go in for it it can be hardly learned as an adult with a will many people could do it. ![]() Sincerely, it has also provoked so much positive envy to me towards whoever has this ability. The words “perfect pitch” and “absolute pitch” provoke a sense of glamour and mystery in a musician. ![]()
