Some #musicians have #PerfectPitch. Some even have #Synaesthesia. Lucky blighters.
I wonder what would happen if some #mathematicians have a similar neurological and perceptual super powers. But then, mathematicians do possess highly developed visualisation abilities and intuitions, which might well be called super powers.
Canada Soccer and Infinity & Announce Music Ambassadors With First Wave of Perfect Pitch Contributors š¶šØš¦
Canada Soccer, in partnership with Infinity &, is proud to announce the first wave of celebrated Canadian artists joining the Perfect Pitch program as Music Ambassadors, part of the previously announced project led by Grammy Award-winning producer, Boi-1da.
The growing roster of music ambassadors includes some of the nationās most influential and celebrated voices:
Alessia Cara (@[email protected])
Charlotte Cardin (@[email protected])
Loud Luxury (@[email protected])
Nelly Furtado (@[email protected])
The Tragically Hip (@[email protected])
Zeds Dead (@[email protected])
Itās been a long-held belief that absolute pitch - the ability to identify musical notes without reference - is a rare gift reserved for a select few with special genetic gifts or those who began musical training in early childhood. However, new research from the University of Surrey challenges this, demonstrating that adults can acquire this skill through rigorous training.

In his book "Musicophilia," renowned neuroscientist Oliver Sacks described the remarkable ability of Sir Frederick Ouseley, a former music professor at the University of Oxford, to recognize the pitch of everyday sounds. For example, he said it "thundered in G" and the "wind whistled in D." Ouseley had perfect pitch, also called absolute pitch ā...
I spent a lot of time this long weekend making improvements to my perfect pitch training app: https://pganssle.github.io/cim/
Iām pretty happy with how itās shaping up. My son has been using it 4-5 times per day (the sessions are frequent but short), and itās kind of amazing to see how good he is at identifying chords.
This is an implementation of Eguchi's Chord Identification method (paper access can be found via Sci-Hub). See also Ichionkai Music School. This is a method for teaching absolute pitch to children aged 2-6. Children should practice ~5x per day for 2-3 minutes (about 20-25 identifications). Chords are always identified with colors, and progress in the sequence red (CEG), yellow (CFA), blue (HDG), black (ACF), green (DGH), orange (EGC), purple (FAC), pink (GHD), brown (GCE).
A question for fellow #musicians and others with #AbsolutePitch:
Since I came down with a cold on Monday, I've been hearing some pitches (especially near C4) up to a half-step below their actual value in my left ear. My right ear is so far unaffected.
What's going on here? Should I be alarmed? Anything I can do to clear it up?
Any info/input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sure my brother has perfect pitch, is really smart and went to college with more than one full scholarship offer and got an aeronautical engineering degree.
But he's also allergic to cats and dogs so on the whole I think I got the better deal.
