I take it you have perfect pitch.
I have a couple friends with perfect pitch. Both of them have told me they'd rather not have it. "Relative pitch I could live with but not this curse" one of them said. He seems compelled to "name that pitch" on every sound he hears. Including refrigerator motors, telephones, sirens, bird chirps, squeaky chairs, you name it.
I can't help but admire his ability to listen to a complex piece of music and reproduce it on the spot but it comes with a price, I suppose.

“Perfect pitch is EXTREMELY rare.”

Yes it is rare. One is born with it.

“Knowing” what a G, B, F sharp, or B flat has nothing to do with it.

One can hear a tune and then sing it on key. When I talk about “key” I mean “pitch” and not musical keys after their names (not pitch). I would hope you would know that.

Perfect pitch and a highly trained sense of relative pitch are two entirely different things. Perfect pitch is EXTREMELY rare.

There was a singer with perfect pitch, that used to do voiceovers for all the great stars that couldn't sing a note. No one ever heard of her because Perfect Pitch does not a singer make, they have to have a unique sound. Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra..........

She sings very well indeed. The Star Spangled Banner isn’t easy to sing, either. The ending was a little bit off, but she was excellent on the quieter sweet notes.

Thank you for that. That’s true.

She would be excellent in a church choir.

NO! NEVER! Miss Brown would never do that.

That was some silly slutty dame without a brain in her head.

Ayla is a law student.

GEESH! You people!

Just a few weeks ago more people knew Scott Brown’s daughter Ayla than knew Scott Brown, but it’s probably true that most people didn’t know Ayla. She was on American Idol though, which I hear is a popular TV show.

Yes, I heard that too.

She isn’t exactly a Julliard graduate.

Absolute pitch, widely referred to as perfect pitch, is the ability of a person to identify or recreate a musical note without the benefit of an external reference.

Many musicians have quite good relative pitch, a skill which can be learned. With practice, it is possible to listen to a single known pitch once (from a pitch pipe or a tuning fork) and then have stable, reliable pitch identification by comparing the notes heard to the stored memory of the tonic pitch. Unlike absolute pitch, this skill is dependent on a recently perceived tonal center.

You say you would hope I know this. I do. You might want to get your definitions straight.

No, she was a regular contestant, got on the big stage, she was voted on, that kind of thing. She didn’t win or anything, or place particularly high, but she did get to the level where people vote.

I have to agree with that as well. But I have a couple of questions for Ye of Perfect Pitch:

What kind of music do you like?

Does having perfect pitch make YOU a good singer? (I'm betting it doesn't).

What is the pitch (frequency) of this: Hmmmmmmm.

“What kind of music do you like?”

Classical.

“Does having perfect pitch make YOU a good singer? (I’m betting it doesn’t).”

Absolutly not as I said before. I said perfect pitch does not make a singer or a violin player.

“What is the pitch (frequency) of this: Hmmmmmmm.”

F-.
