Perfect pitch is a skill that can be developed but it's going to take time with the right exercises and practice techniques. There are some common mistakes that people trying to develop perfect pitch make that can cause their efforts to almost backfire on them. Avoid these mistakes when trying to learn perfect pitch.
Mistake 1: Learning pitch on an out of tune instrument<br><br>If you are going to use your piano, for example, as a frame of reference for your pitch, you need to make sure that the piano is in tune. If you don't, you will be training your mind incorrectly. Let a professional come and tune your piano for you.<br><br>It's best to also utilize some form of pitch that won't be able to go out of tune. You might carry around a tuning fork so that you can reference the pitch you are learning throughout the day and use it to see if your instrument is going out of tune.<br><br>Mistake 2: Not learning music<br><br>Some people trying to learn perfect pitch just don't have the musical background to really make this possible. Even if you are a vocalist, learning music theory is going to be a great aid in developing your ear. <br><br>You have to have a mental understanding of how the notes fit together and why they fit together. Without this it will be difficult to really gain the skills needed to identify the proper notes accurately. It doesn't take as long as you might think to learn notes. Think of it this way: if six year olds can learn it and perform at a recital in just a few short months, then it is certainly something you can do as well.<br><br>Mistake 3: Skipping relative pitch<br><br>Many try to learn perfect pitch otherwise known as absolute pitch first. Before you can do this, you need to master relative pitch. Relative pitch is not the identification of the note but only identifying the difference between two notes. If you can't tell which note is higher or lower, perfect pitch isn't yet possible. <br><br>You will need to develop the skill to not only know which is higher or lower but by how much one is higher or lower. If you had learned music and scales, much of the time you can hear where those two tones would fit on the scale making it easier to be accurate in your relative pitch.
