perfect pitch

[Max el Belga]

Hahaha ! That poor Daniel Levitin !
A friend here (I did a music program on the radio with him) and great music lover, adores to sing loud along with songs.
He sings them perfectly, with the exact error of 1 semi note !!!
He is really unique !
If I ever have the chance, I'll record it !

CU,

Max... .. .

Perhaps this can be expanded, but as it's been said here before, relative pitch is more important to me. Understanding relationships between pitches is better than understanding static values.

Yes, absolutely. In some ways, being overly sensitive to the original key of a song can make it harder to transpose pieces. It's sort of like eidetic (photographic) memory--both a blessing and a curse.

I heard something similar about 200years ago. Well, it seems like that length of time. In those days, the experts were claiming that people alway sang a fifth above the original pitch!
