Absolute Pitch

« Back to Glossary Index

Absolute pitch, also referred to as perfect pitch, is the ability to identify or recreate a musical note by name without reference to another note

Singers with perfect pitch can effortlessly recognise, sing and replicate musical pitches with exceptional precision, making them invaluable in group singing, composing and performing. Although perfect pitch is a rare talent that is typically inherited rather than acquired, it can also be learned through intensive training and practice.
