Nice and fun presentstion as well as ear training ideas! Interesting topic about perfect pitch and whether you develop it or born with it. There is a lot of evidence that you're born with it rather than develop it and large proportion of people with perfect pitch also have auditory-visual synesthesia (ability to process sound information in visual cortex of the brain due to its wiring). There are also different degrees/strength of synesthesia and perfect pitch. It's likely that those gifts draw children to music since early age, not the other way around. A lot of these children later become successful.
Earlier this year I discovered a Jazz pianist, Riyoko Takagi, who has a sister only a year older than her. Their mother was a classical pianist, so both of them were exposed to identical musical conditions and the sound of piano since very early childhood, basically before their memories begin. Both sisters started taking piano lessons outside their home at age 4 and 5 respectively. Riyoko's progress on piano has been much faster than her older sister's and it didn't take long for her teacher to realize that she's special and was able to reproduce melodies and chords she heard by ear on piano right away. At age 5-6 she was able to enter specialized program at Yamaha music school focusing on classical composition and had her first classical concert recital at age 7. She attended Yamaha part-time until age 16 and that was all the music education she ever had. After Yamaha she started focusing on Jazz for its creative freedom. So in this case of 2 sisters, despite identical exposures to music and piano since very early childhood, only one of them was really destined for piano and she showed it since early age. Today she's living her destiny. I'm not saying this proves anything definitively but it's one good statistical data point that's well documented in photos. I'm sure more cases like this with siblings are also documented and even more will be in the future with modern prevalence of smartphones, so this hypothesis can be proven statistically with enough documented cases.
I'm not even musically educated but now I dabble some musical concepts on my own (which is why I'm subscribed to you). I was just an avid music listener all my life. I like this topic about prodigies and read some psychology papers on famous cases in the past. So even without musical training, when I discovered Riyoko, I had a hunch that she's musically gifted, so I wanted to know her music background and it led me down the rabbit hole, discovering an interesting case on my own that can be used as statistical data point. Actually in my case, it was also discovering depth and variety of Jazz as a genre and developing interest in music theory. I was never really interested in Jazz until then. So that's also a story of the start of my own musical journey as an adult.

Thank you for sharing that story of the sisters, and your own journey too!
I’d never come across this story before, but it clearly gives some evidence towards perfect pitch being something people are born with.
It’s great having you around, Logio 😃
