Dear Coldrayne,

While I appreciate the sharing of your experience with someone with
perfect pitch, I would like to point out that this human ability has
been scientifically studied since the early 20th century by musicologists
and psychologists. For example, consider the nice summary of what we know
about it at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_pitch

Perfect pitch happens to interest me greatly as a scientist, because I am
also a musician, and I've researched some aspects of perfect pitch myself.
In my experience, the negative attitudes against those who exhibit perfect
pitch do not come from objective investigators of this ability (who
easily recognized it as legitimate from the very beginning), but from
jealous musicians who don't have this ability. From a scientific
standpoint, I can assure you that we acknowledge perfect pitch as a
legitimate ability which can be objectively demonstrated and explained,
and we have also developed methods whereby anyone can develop this
ability. It is not mystical at all, and with time and training, anyone so
interested can develop it.


Best to you,

HF
