They must get quite a few people to buy their stuff though. 'instantly' and "easily' gaining music mastery like beethoven and chopin? Increasing my IQ in only hours? What a deal!

but it sounds much too good to be true. I'm glad to hear perfect pitch isn't all its supposed to be. Makes me a feel a little less inadequate.


"She found that the incidence of perfect pitch may be more prevalent than earlier imagined and that people who have tonal languages as a first language are much more likely to have perfect pitch. Tonal languages, like chinese, Japanese (to a certain extent), Greek ad others alter the meaning of words based on the inflection of the syllables."

Thats from this article:
Absolute pitch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparantly perfect pitch is also more prevalent with people with certain disorders:

"Among autistics and savants, the incidence of absolute pitch rises considerably. Absolute pitch is common among those with Williams syndrome."

Heres an online quiz: UC Absolute Pitch Study

I couldn't complete the quiz, no sound came out. Everything on my internet is updated etc. Oh well. I already know the results.
