| You are born with perfect pitch.
But, with some talent and lots of hard very, one can obtain very good
relevant perfect pitch.

| Why would anyone *want* real perfect pitch? I knew a guy who said he
had it (and probably did) and he thought all the music he heard on the
radio was out of tune.
Good relative pitch, sure. Perfect pitch? Not until I'm a tympanist.

Only if you know what note the ringing is *before* you tune up......

You don't know how hard it was to do that one note "G" solo when the
ringing in my ears is Eb.......man, it made sum kinda augmented chord!

| I think everyone's brain is capable of perfect pitch, it's the ears
that get in the way. When you sing the parts you try the play, the
brain is never wrong.

| I'm constantly amazed with how hard it is to remember a pitch
or a note.. almost as hard as remembering a smell....
Ah well, that's what re-que buttons on CDs are made fer ins't it.....

What a coincidence....mine too! Is your ringing Eb?

| 2872.13 | could be painful.......eeesh! | NAVY5::SDANDREA | Velociraptor_dawg | Tue Jan 11 1994 07:37 | 8 |
| >>No, mine ring in D minor....
You realize the obvious, Coop. This means you have at least *two* notes
ringing (D & F) in your ears......D minor sounds depressing.....have
you asked you doctor if he could raise the F to an F# for ya? "Hey
Doc, how do ya tune this thang?"

Musical brains pitch to the left
--------------------------------
From Science News, February 11, 1995, Vol. 147, No. 6, Pg 88
Author - B. Bower
People who possess perfect pitch - the ability to sing or name any
musical tone without hearing a reference tone - may have a brain as well
as an ear for music. A key region of the brain apparently fosters
perfect pitch after undergoing reorganization in the womb and perhaps in
response to early musical training, according to a report in the Feb. 3
SCIENCE.
This region, involved in both language and musical perception, is
markedly larger on the left side of the brain in musicians who display
perfect pitch, assert Gottfried Schlaug, a neurologist at Beth Israel
Hospital in Boston, and his coworkers. Messages take longer to travel
from one side of the brain to the other than from one area to another on
the same side. Thus the placement of much of this particular area,
known as the planum temporale, in the left hemisphere may improve
handling of the verbal and musical information that facilitates perfect
pitch, Schlaug's group contends.
The scientists studied the brains of 30 right-handed professional
musicians, 11 of whom had perfect pitch, and 30 right-handed adults
lacking musical training and perfect pitch. Each volunteer underwent
magnetic resonance imaging, a technique that yields detailed views of
brain anatomy.
