What?

That doesn’t sound true at all.

Jude Kofie started the piano at the age of 8. But music prodigy apart, I defintely don’t have perfect pitch right now, but I am very confident that I could with some training.

Like, when I sing a song without music, I usually am very close to the right tone. Mostly because I intuitively know how my voice is supposed to feel (the vocal chords move differently based on the tone).

And I can clearly ear the different “colors” between different scales.

And when I play the guitar a lot, after a month or so I start to be able to know where a note I hear is on the guitar.
