- In our first lesson we discuss the theory behind perfect pitch and perfect ear training. We want to make sure that we approach our ear-training with the right mindset so that we don't unknowingly stunt our progress.
Please leave your questions in the comments and I'll reply as quickly as possible…. - Hudba
Thank you so much!!
You explain the theory really well. I like your style. I just wonder, do you somewhere credit David L. Burge for the theory you present in your videos?
Thank you! To the best of my memory, I do believe I credit David Lucas Burge somewhere in one of my videos. And I’ll probably mention him again if I make any more.
@@jetdeleon Great! I hope you make some videos on the subject again.
Thank you, Jet, i like your approach! i like the idea that the sounds (notes) have feelings and characteristics.. I did the exercise. For me: G is green, C is orange, E is purple, F# is yellow, C# is a yellowish orange, D is light blue, E is red, F is grey, B is blue, E-flat is darker purple, B-flat is darker blue, A-flat is pink. As you stated, these color associations aren't fixed but it's a start in changing how i think about pitch.
Hey!
Does this exercise require synesthesia or would I be able to assign the colors with time? As of now no colors seemed to match a note and I didn't want to simply choose a color for the sake of it.
Very geune instuction, I came up with an idea, what if we associate a sing note pitch to a unique timbre a music instrument, would not that reinforce our perception of absolute pitch?
Yes.. In the beginning, it is very helpful to stick to one practice instrument (or timbre). Just remember to listen for the pitch color. So if your primary instrument is the piano, you ear will already feel comfortable with the timbre of the piano so that it can stay relaxed while you practice the color-hearing techniques.
Any other exercises you would recommend? Every tip is appreciated 🙏🏻👍🏻
Yes.. there are many others I can share… schedule has been hectic but I'll see if I can make another tutorial video next week… which builds on this first lesson
@@jetdeleon that would be awesome. Could also be a "pdf" with drills. 😊Thank you for your fast response. I definitely hear a difference between notes and sometimes a key like d minor in music sticks out to me. Unfortunately I was never able to move beyond these infantile stages...
@@soundwelt1428 check out david lucas burge, thats where this info is from
You really think it’s possible to achieve absolut pitch for an adult ? I was always told that’s something you can develop as a child and if u miss it your chance is gone
100% Yes. Color-hearing (aka absolute pitch) is just a perception. If not developed as a child, it can be developed as an adult… though for some people, the inner ear might require some maintenance to ensure that their perception is maintained.
