  • In this video my son Dylan Perfect Pitch (Absolute Pitch) is tested on single notes, note pairs and complex polychords. I discovered Dylan had Perfect Pitch at age 3 and began teaching him music theory so he would understand exactly what he was hearing.

      poo eater I believe you can develop it properly if by the age of 5. Otherwise you can still train yourself for relative pitch and guess work if you’re good with fixed do or whatever. Now people who have synesthesia...

    My son learned to read when he was three years old, including reading cursive handwriting. His dad loved impressing people by making him read to everybody everytime we went anywhere. Testing what store signs he could read, what did the menu say, etc. Guess what he absolutely hates to do as an adult? You might not have that happen but be aware it's possible.

    That is awesome that you recognized his talent and skill at such a young age. That is such a blessing that there is someone in his life who recognizes and encourages him in pursuing and developing that talent and skill. I met a similarly gifted young man when he was 3 yrs old. At the time, he was playing piano and organ to back up his mother and aunts who sang gospel music while his brother played drums.
    Corey was barely big enough to see the keys yet somehow he played effortlessly as he watched his mother for cues and rarely even glanced at the keys. His hands knew those keys so well and his fingers danced skillfully across intervals and chords that seemed well beyond his yr old mind and body. At 5 he was competing in music contests and won a music talent contest at The Appolo theater. I knew the first time that I saw this kid that he had the talent, the skill but most of all the drive to do big things in music. As it turns out I was right about this exceptional kid. His story really is a great one, and you should contact him and hear it from Corey himself. But since that day all those years ago in an Air Force chapel at Plattsburgh AFB, NY that kid has played with some musical greats and has become an excellent and renowned musician himself. Corey Henry has played keyboards with Snarky Puppy and has played with Kirk Franklin, Donnie McKlurkin, Yolanda Adams, Michael McDonald, and Bruce Springsteen. He has done some independent stuff as well. If you are not already familiar with him, (which would not surprise me) Google him and check out his stuff. :-)
    I loved hearing your son and look forward to where he takes his talent and skills and what dreams he may pursue. :-)

    I have a son that can do that but we didn't teach him chords at that age. We had him in piano lessons which he despised. Took him out. Plays percussion, marimbas etc.
    He knew someone who also had perfect pitch that had a hard time with music because he could hear the off notes and it bothered him.
    This precious young man has so much wonderful music to enjoy and explore and a wonderful teacher to show him the way. ❤️

      When they hear a chord and say "oh its the dracula sound" or hear a note and remember a song that starts with it. But especially making names for sounds and chords and notes like you said. Once you recognise it as a parent all you really need to do is to sit them down and teach them proper names to replace tbe made up ones and add more obscure sounds to their repertuar and voila.
      Thing is why tf would you do that lmao its pretty useless for 99% of people and pretty annoying to live with. Good luck trying to enjoy live music at a bar when you can hear every single instrument being slightly off tune and it drives you insane.

Yes, there are some incredible musicians who have natural ability to just feel the instrument. But if you look at some people that are regarded as 'the best' in their discipline (Joe Bonamassa/Joe Satriani for guitar, /Buddy Rich/Neil Peart for drums), you'll see that they have an extensive knowledge of music theory that was learned at a young age.
