What is the difference between perfect pitch and absolute pitch?

Relative Pitch is the ability to identify the pitch of notes relative to other notes you’ve heard. The essential point is that you are identifying notes relative to other notes. Absolute Pitch, often called ‘Perfect Pitch’, is the ability to identify notes without any point of reference.

Can you develop 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.

How can I tell if I have perfect pitch?

You have perfect pitch if:

You are able to name a musical note played with a musical instrument or object (example: a bell)
You are able to sing a particular note without any reference note.
You are able to name several notes played one after the other.
You can identify the key of a musical piece.

Is Perfect Pitch good or bad?

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.
