Do children with "perfect pitch" consider as Gifted?

Hi, Jackie,

Thanks for your sharing!

JP,
我想問

Sindy,

Both Glenn Doman ( derived from Suzuki) and Shichida have training methods for perfect pitch, and I've learnt about these methods.

The testing is easy, just has the kid blindfold to tell you the keys after hearing them in turn . If he or she can tell you 100% correct in several occasions, then he or she has got it.

The training for perfect pitch is only the intermediate step to train a good hearing ( auditory sense) . Ancient man have good hearing as it is a basic skill for survival ( both hunting for food and avoiding being hunted by predators) . We as civilians have lost most of these skills like good hearing, smell and even touch.

From Glenn Doman and Shichida, these methods of training can provoke the release of hidden potential of the right brain, the effects can be quite amazing.

If you're interested to know more, pls pm me.

I read a book about developing perfect pitch some years ago. It says that some musicians do not have perfect pitch because they had no proper training when they were young. To have perfect pitch, a child should start training when they are 3 years old. It will be too late to learn at the age of 6.

It appears to indicate that perfect pitch is not something inborn, but acquired at a very young age. Can anyone share their views on this thinking?

近期遇到一個琴老師,佢話我女係perfect pitch ,但我覺得perfect pitch 好或relative pitch好,都無乜分別(唔知係咪呢可?)我已經開始比個仔聽音,其實兩者都可以聽到音,實唔駛分邊樣啦   

其實用train呢個字好似好專業咁,只要聽多d,佢地就自然分到的,好似我細女咁,細過無特別train佢,只係聽得多,後來才發現佢up得出晒d音咁濟(除左少聽既特低/高)

Dear SLI,
My son is an autistic kid. He has "prefect pitch." It is not trained, but in-born.

Hi meganlee,

Only came to this topic this moment, so sorry for the late reply.

Actually, the book is about training an infant to become a great kid. It stops short at telling its readers how to develop perfect pitch.
