Absolute pitch description |

Absolute pitch (AP), widely referred to as perfect pitch, is a rare auditory phenomenon characterized by the ability of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone.AP can be demonstrated via linguistic labeling ("naming" a note), auditory imagery, or sensorimotor responses. For example, an AP possessor can accurately reproduce a heard tone on a musical instrument without "hunting" for the correct pitch. Researchers estimate the occurrence of AP to be 1 in 10,000 people.Generally, absolute pitch implies some or all of the following abilities, achieved without a reference tone: * Identify by name individual pitches (e.g. F♯, A, G, C) played on various instruments. * Name the key of a given piece of tonal music. * Reproduce a piece of tonal music in the correct key days after hearing it. * Identify and name all the tones of a given chord or other tonal mass. * Accurately sing a named pitch. * Name the pitches of common everyday sounds such as car horns and alarms. * Name the frequency of a pitch (e.g. that G♯4 is 415Hz) after hearing it.People may have absolute pitch along with the ability of relative pitch, and relative and absolute pitch work together in actual musical listening and practice, but strategies in using each skill vary. Those with absolute pitch may train their relative pitch and there has been a reported case of 6 adults in China (with previous musical training) acquiring absolute pitch through specific tonal training. Furthermore, two studies by Harvard and the University of Chicago have shown Valproate, a medication used to treat epilepsy and severe depression, may re-open the "critical period" of learning, making the acquisition of absolute pitch, as well as languages, potentially as efficient for adults as for children. Adults who possess relative pitch but do not already have absolute pitch can also learn "pseudo-absolute pitch" and become able to identify notes in a way that superficially resembles absolute pitch. Moreover, training absolute pitch can require considerable motivation, time, and effort, and learning is not retained without constant practice and reinforcement. |
