I was interested to see a free lesson on perfect pitch attainment as I had never seen a free one before . It might have altered my belief that NONE are ever free because basically they're all scams. Of course you can gain a vague memory of specific notes, and with practice you can get fairly close, but that's not perfect pitch.
If it were possible to teach it, you can bet there would be plenty of free lessons and training tools scattered around the net, just as there are plenty of FREE 'relative pitch'
lessons and
trainers. And if perfect pitch was really a valuable and teachable skill, every music college in the world would be teaching it. (Some music colleges do in fact conduct research into it, but more out of scientific interest than anything else)
Anyway, as I looked further into the free lesson, I eventually found the final price - $97. So much for 'free'. I think 'free' means you get a few taster lessons free then you pay to continue.
Also I was put off by the claims being made for perfect pitch such as hearing some great music in your head and being able to write it down. So what? Anyone with good relative pitch ability can do exactly the same thing. The key might not be the same as the original, but that's completely unimportant - it's still the same music.
