According to The American Idol Karaoke game for Playstation 2, I do when I sing Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" Other than that, I do not know anyone with perfect pitch.
-
I think everyone who can sing or play an instrument decently can have perfect pitch at various times, but no one has perfect pitch 100% of the time.
-
Not me.I scare small children and animals with my singing voice.Some members of my family play instruments well and my husband has a beautiful voice :)
-
Yeah, I do I guess. My piano teacher said this.
-
My daughter has perfect pitch, and I know at least half a dozen others who do - probably more, if I stopped and thought about it. I do not.

Perfect Pitch is not about being able to hit a specific note when a chord is played. Perfect Pitch is being able to hear a note and know what that note is without any reference. Some one plays an A on the piano, you know its an A without looking. Just being able to hear that an instrument is not tuned properly doesn't mean you have perfect pitch, just means your not tone deaf.

One of my instuctors at the Armed Forces School of Music has perfect pitch.

Perfect pitch... I believe some ppl do have it, but its the matter of time taken before you get it right. Some are fast some are slow, some are naturally talented, some are good with just practises. DO visit my site as it might touch on perfect pitch. I may post resources on perfect pitch in mere future... This is it www.SingWithPiano.com. The ability im training is still playing by ear, in an instance, n this requires perfect pitch. Memory does help too.

i do..

My brother, a music professor, has it. He can recognise any note he hears, and can sing any note you ask. I can recognise A440, but nothing else. As it's 54 years since I played anything, I can no longer read music. But I can still recognise concert A.

Sure, my music teacher and his family all have perfect pitch. I can compose a piece of music without having a piano in front of me, and the notes on the stave will sound exactly as it should. Dont know if thats perfect pitch?

I have a good sense of pitch, and used to be able to identify a note played on the keyboard. But that might have been due to hearing the subtleties of timbre rather than pitch. Perfect pitch is not the same as having a good sense of intonation, but on the other hand, if you *do* have perfect pitch this generally goes along with an extreme sensitivity to the frequency of musical sounds. But in any event, having perfect pitch can be a disadvantage, and it is probably just as well that it is extremely rare. For some people with perfect pitch an orchestra sounds really bad, because they can clearly hear the minor inaccuracies of intonation which most of us are oblivious to.

I do. I used to tune pipe organs.
-
quite a few people actually. im very jealous ;)

I know several. My girlfriend does. I also knew a trumpet player who had it absolutely dead on at any setting of tuning. Also, my current horn teacher does, and I've met a few other people who do. However, I'm still a high school student, and I haven't had THAT much exposure to professional musicians, and, despite it being very rare, I'm sure there are many people out there who have it. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them :(
