Subject: RE: Can the tone deaf learn to sing?
Perfect pitch is usually understood to be the ability to sing any chosen note out of thin air as it were. So it's an ability to remember pitch.

Doesn't matter if A=416 or 440 or whatever.
It's very very rare, even with highly trained musicians. They might have a good guess, but are never 100% sure.

Remembering colours is also similar.
