Developing perfect pitch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

I have quite good relative pitch, but not perfect pitch. By accident I 
stumbled upon some information that gave me the idea "why not give it a 
shot, it might be possible to pick it up". Please let's not go (too 
deep) into either "it can't be learned" or "it makes you unmusical".

However, I don't really know what the steps int the learning process 
would be.

One course seems to start with CDEF and then add more notes when those 
are stuck in your head. However with these notes played at random I'd be 
able to tell any of the other if I'm told what the first note is :-( To 
I guess that wouldn't work...

Another seems to play all 12 notes at random and then you should only 
focus on one at the time, for instance be able to identify whenever C 
comes up.

Are there anyone here that *learned* perfect pitch (don't care 'bout the 
lucky bastards that was born with it). How did you learn it?

Now to the linux part: It would be dead simple to write a script that 
throws notes at you, even with different constraints (which instrument, 
which group of notes). Besides one would need *really* well tuned notes 
of instruments like piano, guitar + more.

Would anyone here be interested in exchanging scripts, samples and 
practice results for such a journey; "collecting a set of files for 
learning perfect pitch with your linux box, and using them to learn 
yourself perfect pitch along the way"?
