I'd like to know if anyone here has perfect pitch. I myself am on this one course to get me there, and if you all want I could help you get perfect pitch, not that I do have it.
 
we're doing a bunch of ear training drills right now in my critical listening class.
pretty cool. i have wondered about that actual "perfect pitch" program on tv tho.
 
thats a mission!

I had to do some of the frequency training tho, random noises, white & pink noise...
 
I used to have perfect pitch for one octave, E2-E3, when I used to play guitar properly, I could hear a note an correspond it to a fret on the bottom E string.

Can't do it anymore, but gonna get back into ear training, because I need to relearn all the intervals etc. and it can be really useful
 
Having perfect pitch it a fucker believe

You hear anything that is slightly out, can be a nightmare when watching live bands and such :(
 
what is this 'perfect pitch' people are refering to? is it something akin to tuning your kick drum pitch to meat your first bass note?
 
I know professional musicians who have trained their whole life and never able to get 'perfect pitch' It can be trained, but not taught...

Its more of a gift...

your better off walking round with a tuning fork after learning 'cadences'. Then you can just about work out any note or key.

A cadence is the distance between the set of notes or chords...ie C to G is a major 5th.

Had to learn all of this for a theory exam, so to correct your explaination :teeth:

Cadences are always chords, single notes are merely intervals. Your example C to G being a major fifth is an interval not a cadence.

The order the chords are played dictates the specific cadance and describes the harmonic link between the two chords, eg:

If a chord progression changes from A flat major to E flat major, it is a movement of IV-I, therefore a plagal cadence.

E flat example

I - E Flat Major
II - F Minor
III - G Minor
IV - A Flat Major
V - B Flat Major
VI - C Minor
VII - D Diminished
