The confidence to answer fast in the first session is hard to have it, hehe, but it's a good thing.
Don't rush to know the identity of the note. Let the sound tell you who they are. It's like looking at someone's face giving time to your brain to recall any memory with that person.
I used to believe absolute pitch was just about memorizing isolated notes.
For a long time, I trained by identifying the 12 notes repeatedly, expecting my brain to eventually “lock in” perfect pitch. But something unexpected kept happening: my relative pitch constantly tried to create tonal centers and understand notes through relationships.
Over time, I started noticing patterns.
Some keys felt much easier than others. Certain chord progressions became instantly recognizable, while others still felt unstable. That was the moment I realized my brain was building tonal stability before true absolute recognition became consistent.
Then something changed.
Music started to gain “color.” Songs I had listened to hundreds of times suddenly revealed details I had never consciously noticed before. Harmonic movement became clearer, and even random sounds started carrying recognizable identities.
One of the biggest realizations in this process was understanding that pitch recognition doesn’t always feel like “measuring frequencies.” Often, notes feel more like unique identities or sensations.
I also realized that relative pitch and absolute pitch are not enemies — they seem to reinforce each other. Sometimes harmonic function, chord tension, or the bass note helps guide my brain toward faster pitch recognition.
Now my training feels less like “guessing notes” and more like building an integrated auditory perception where note identity, harmonic relationships, and auditory memory are slowly connecting together.
I still struggle with some things, especially identifying imagined melodies or recognizing pitches instantly across every timbre, but the difference compared to the beginning is huge.
This journey made me realize that developing pitch perception is probably much more gradual and adaptive than most people think.
My perfect perception is getting awesome even while I'm listening to songs, but it feels strange to hear the chord progressions.
Can I practice regular relative pitch chord progression training, or is it going to make my PP weak again ? Some chords progressions I'm able to identify them easily together with PP, not sure why some are easier or how should I train it now.
Almost there with the test. Just a little bit more practice
6 months since I started using the app, now I'm finally getting 100% more consistently, If I can do it, everyone here can do it too. Let's go.
I said that I would explain about every level, but the video was becoming long, so if you want to see the other levels, I can post another one.
Better and better every day, training without feedback gives me confidence to hear random notes in real life and to tell myself "that's the note name of this sound", even if it's a half step I sure most of the time.
Normal training is also really important. Doing both is awesome.
I took this test earlier, 107 trials, and another one with 301, and this average is almost the same 107= 0.28, 301= 0,26. For what we know, it goes from not having perfect pitch to having perfect really suddenly. Is this number actually showing how close I'm to master it ?
