Subject: RE: Wondering: Is Perfect Pitch Common?
Could someone explain TM better please? Pete's example of his daughter's TM sounds like me. I worked in a bar with several different musicians playing their own versions of the same songs, and I still know who sang it which way down to the letter (or note, if you will). I think I can remember the first notes of all of the songs/tunes I know "out of the air" as you say, but I have no training or theory and so maybe I'm wrong. When I'm singing them, no one ever corrects my pitch, but maybe they don't know either. I used to have a collection of mix tapes made for me by friends, and I could sing every word and note straight through, and still can. I've always just assumed I'm a good mimic, and that everyone has the ability to remenmber this stuff and hold on to it, but am I wrong? How do you know if you have TM or PP?
