I’ve been doing some research and I’ve found that a great way to improve as a musician is to learn perfect pitch (also known as absolute pitch). Perfect pitch means that you can name any note or chord by ear – how cool is that?. It doesn’t stop there though. Not only will I be able to tune my guitar perfectly by ear but I will be able to instantly name key signatures, work out chords and intervals and even compose music in my head.

Having perfect pitch will hopefully give me a head start over all the other musicians in my class and give me the confidence I’ve always lacked as a musician. I know I haven’t got very long to learn perfect pitch, but I have found a course called the Pure Pitch Method that only takes 6-weeks. The great thing is that you can study the pure pitch method even if you don’t know any music theory.

If I start now I should have achieved perfect pitch just before the start of term. I’ll keep you posted on my progress and let you know if it really works. Wish me luck!
