Damn those people with an perfect inborn sense of pitch. I've spent my whole life as a musician struggling to instantly recognize intervals, let alone distinct pitches. I can't image how much easier things would be with this ability. Well, I suppose there are two possibilities. 1) This is a talent some people are born with and the rest of us just have to deal with not having it, or 2)Some lucky assholes take to it right of the bat, but pitch and tones are like a language that can be learned.
Since I don't want to sentence myself to a life of struggle and noodling with things until they sound right... I'm starting some tone training that I found in the app store on my iPhone. I'm curious if a month or two of identifying intervals, chords, pitches, and scales will effect my ability. I suppose there is only one way to find out, so here I go!
