Test Tells Whether You have Perfect Pitch

Here’s the Link.  I’ve tried it a few times and never scored higher than 65%.

If you don’t  study music before the age of 9 or 10 and learn the notes by their letter names, it’s almost impossible to achieve perfect pitch. Having perfect pitch could be as much of a curse as a blessing. Every time you hear an slightly out of tune Guitar or a song that’s not in it’s original key, your mind will process the sound as being incorrect.

Apparently if you’ve got it, you can tell what note you hear instantly. The same way we see colors. You don’t really have to think which color you are seeing, unless it’s a new color or one you are not familiar with.

Try guessing the open strings of your Guitar. Hum a note then play the string.  Also tuning by ear as much as possible instead of using a tuner. Don’t depend on gadgets! Depend on your ears.

So anyone with kids out there, make sure you get them some music training, pronto!
