Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Pitch awareness is relative!. Perfect pitch is not just one thing!. People are born with different degrees of sensitivity to pitch!. What is normally called perfect pitch is the ability to accurately sing a note without reference to an instrument, or to name a note without figuring it out from context!.

I think the idea that perfect pitch cannot be learned is an urban legend!. I was not born with it, but I developed pitch awareness in high school!. Now I can tell what key something is in, and can name and sing notes accurately (95% of the time) WITHOUT reference to other pitches!. I don't think this is uncommon in professional musicians!.

I don't know if the Dave Lee pack works, although he does advertise a lot!. Pitch sense is very useful to musicians!. It is always good to be working on that pitch sense!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Perfect pitch can not be learned, and why would you want to when you can learn relative pitch!? People with perfect pitch can't tune their instruments to a piano that has swollen sharp in the humid summer!. It is fingernails on the chalkboard to them!. A well-refined relative pitch is just as useful as perfect pitch and makes a person able to enjoy playing and listening to music instead of cringing at every slightly out-of-tune instrument!.
also, as you age, you perceive pitches lower than they actually are!. This can sometimes really mess with people elderly people who have perfect pitch!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You cannot be taught perfect pitch,only a few are born with it!. You can be taught relative pitch only, and that takes some serious work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
