What do they mean by perfect pitch in singing?
“Absolute pitch (AP), widely referred to as perfect pitch, is the ability of a person to identify or recreate a musical note without the benefit of a known reference.” “Absolute pitch, or perfect pitch, is “the ability to identify the frequency or musical name of a specific tone, or, conversely, the ability to produce some designated frequency, frequency level, or musical pitch without comparing the tone with any objective reference tone, i.e., without using relative pitch.” Possessors of absolute pitch exhibit the ability in varying degrees. Generally, absolute pitch implies some or all of the following abilities: – Identify and name individual pitches (e.g. A, B, C#) played on various instruments – Name the key of a given piece of tonal music – Identify and name all the tones of a given chord or other tonal mass – Sing a given pitch without an external reference – Name the pitches of common everyday noises such as car horns Individuals may possess both absolute pitch and relative pit
