i'm calm. just blahblahing. i was joking about the "don't joke"-thing, if you're referring to that. sorry if i sounded like an a-hole or something to you, trust me it wasn't my purpose.
back to the original purpose of this thread, here's a program that is said to develop the ear
eartest
the longer i've used it the better the results seem to get.

Yeah I was referring to that, but no problem! Friends like before 
That program is awesome!!!!!
I've used it a little right now and I got 94% accuracy over normal single notes 
I'll use it a lot, I guess, to develop my ear...

Mmmh.. why if I check other notes except for C D E F G, they disappear after the first played note?
I mean, I can't use it with more than C D E F G... any hints?

no idea, works well for me. it's the shareware version so only 5 notes work at time, but sounds weird if they disappear like that

Now I see, I used more than 5...
I tried with C D E F G A B, for example..

nice that you figured it out i once read that another great (if even better) method is to systematically learn every song you hear note by note, but it's pretty annoying with faster parts. i guess slowing them down is allowed though.

I don't have perfect pitch. I got good pitch, and usually I don't need a reference, although without that I'm sometimes out by a semitone.
FYI, training for perfect pitch is very very possible. I had a piano tuner who did an apprenticeship in (something musical involving tuning) and over the years he developed perfect pitch - he taps his tuning fork once, and using that reference he can tune the whole piano without having to reference it again. The way he does it is that he works in fifths, and then the notes in between, from the middle C. Amazing stuff.
Also, I'm not sure if an electronic tuner is detrimental - I'd say it's beneficial (in that you still have to listen to it, even if only subconsiously whilst tuning) but it's slower than "actively" training your ears as already given above.
omg I now have a signature. OH NOES! |

Ah, finally that question.
Yes, I do have perfect pitch, and I use it a lot. Perhaps it's because I started playing the piano when I was five and still do up to now. I keep playing tunes from the radio having them heard only once. And then I download them, and play them back at the same time while I play them. It's just funny. And I know that not many people have the ease that I have.
My piano teacher discovered it almost 6 years ago, when he did me the test. He sent me away from the piano, and started playing a difficult chord and I said which notes e was playing. Then he played a sequence and asked me to play it exactly again. No problem.
 I could say that that's my best musical talent. And my greatest flaw in music is perhaps creativity. I may have all the tools to make music, but actually DO new music is quite hard for me. |

Ah. Well, that's quite some skill indeed.
However, I think perfect pitch is only about identifying a note, without any reference note before.
I definetly hear what sounds right 'n wrong in music, but I still don't have what they call "perfect pitch". But I know it can be practiced. However, it is a bit overrated imo.
Fortunately, my music is much more interesting than my posts. |

my ex music teacher had perfect pitch... you don't realise what a gift it is til you see it in practice..
He could hear the intervals between rain drops, footsteps, anything...
He told me it was like a curse, cos even a note slightly out of tune, very very slightly.. he'd hear it and be disgusted.
