Manuel is a passionate, driven, and techsavvy AV technician, How to Learn Perfect Pitch
At the most basic level, having good vocal skills involves being able to discern and hit a specific note accurately and in sequence. Many successful artists have trained their ears to quickly identify the pitch of a note and can reproduce it without needing to listen to the track again. If you want to improve as a singer, it’s important to learn how to train yourself to distinguish notes and pitches by ear alone. Some individuals are naturally gifted with “perfect pitch” – an innate ability to identify notes – but this skill can also be developed through practice.
But what exactly is pitch? Most instruments, including the human voice, are capable of producing an infinite number of notes, with only the tiniest variations between each note. When musical instruments are “tuned,” a trained ear identifies the exact fixed sound desired for a specific note. All other notes produced by the instrument are then played using this sound as a reference. Similarly, someone singing “off key” or “off pitch” refers to a person who is not singing in accordance with the established convention of the song. Musicians often use a center C or E as the reference adjusting note.
