No, it's completely learnable at ANY age. The only thing that would cause you to take longer would be the fact that you don't have/take enough time to do it. If you decide to take the supercourse, make the time to do it. I developed perfect pitch in 2 months about 8 months ago, I haven't re-done the supercourse since then, and my perfect pitch is just as good as ever. Maybe it's jus me but I still don't see how it would be a hindrance to ANYONE.

Woa there is?! I didn't know. But the MP3s are they rendered with a sound library or just synthesized? If so please, send me a link!! Thanks!

Hey everyone, thought I should let everyone in on my recent project. You know get to know my style. I'm personally fond of Contemporary Orchestration, like Danny Elfman, Hanz Zimmerman, Alex Wurman, I'm especially fond of Disney orchestration as this is where I want to work someday. Anyways, I don't have Sibelious or something fancy like that to render an MP3 with a media library, but I DO have a midi editor I input all my jots and ideas into. Although I would LOVE to have the ability to turn this into at LEAST a well rendered song that actually sounds real, you'll all just have to use a little more imagination than usual and picture how this would sound if a REAL symphony was playing this. Well I'm not looking for in depth reviews otherwise I would've put up sheet music, considering this is a rough draft anyway, I didn't see the need. But yeah tell me what you think! I composed a more childlike point of view of what outer space is. I didn't want a big mysterious darker sound but instead a gentle ride or flight through the cosmos, even a more romantic sound to an extent. Comments appreciated! Enjoy! ~Danny-O Flight into the beyond.mid

Magical! :D

They sound like great warm ups! I want the sheet music please, its very British! Pip pip! Whut whut! All in all like Sharp said, sounds like you were playing around experimenting with different folk styles. Lovely work nonetheless. Me want concerto.

Hello everyone! First post! yay me! Anyway, there's a lot of riff-raff about what perfect pitch is and what it isn't and if we're born with it blah blah blah. And so I would just like to clear some things up. You can believe me if you want, that's up to you. 1. No one is born with perfect pitch. Just as how in kindergarten we learn what Red, Yellow, and Blue is, and distinguish the differences between them, we too must learn perfect pitch (or absolute pitch) from ground zero. Some people just develop it at a very early age, and this is normal. But saying that people are "born" with perfect pitch is as ridiculous as saying that choice few are born already knowing what the color wheel is. Perfect Pitch is also a human ability. It is something that is built in in all of us, it is not a genetic trait or defect. 2. Perfect Pitch is NOT a hindrance. I personally developed perfect pitch with the Burge Supercourse and I tell you now, if an entire orchestra is toned down, I'll just know it's toned down, it won't drive me crazy or up the wall. It won't annoy me, or bother me, or cause me to throw up and pass out or any other nonsense. I'll simply go like, huh, that's a different pitch. If you have a friend that has perfect pitch and says they can't stand to listen to some music because it is not in tune then they're most likely lying to show off. Either that, or it's a personal preference, but it is not the actual perfect pitch that is making them suffer. Absolute pitch just clears up what you hear. Remember it's a HUMAN ability. That means that once you develop perfect pitch it won't turn your ear into a robot and all of a sudden anything that isn't a Studio Standard of 440hz will drive you crazy. 3. Perfect pitch is Tone Color recognition. Basically how you can visually see red and yellow and how they differ in hue, the same applies to music except in tone. Now this doesn't mean we associate colors to sound, not at all. Tone color is different than visual color. How sharp or dull, how twangy or mellow, how this and the other, how you describe the sound of each separate pitch is the tone color. And each pitch has a its own tone color. Thats how perfect pitch works, it's basically opening your ear up to pick up these delicate differences, you fine tune your ear to perceive these tone colors. Now the myth is that once you have perfect pitch that you sing EXACTLY or hear EXACTLY what the pitch is. This is simply not true. In colors, red, for example has different shades, light to dark, either way we can still tell it's red. The standard red could be compared to C5. A darker red to C4 and a lighter red to C6. Perfect pitch doesn't mean you will be able to distinguish a tone down to the exact semitone/cent remember, it's a human ability, no one is EXACT. If they claim to be, don't believe them. A lot of people with perfect pitch claim a lot of things just to get attention and show off. My friend being one of them, said he was born with it. Once I developed it, his ego got a well deserved slap in the face. As for the CDs, I would say buy them, try them, there's a money back guarantee. I recommend David's collection, just because he's not so serious as the other ones. I like him. :D DON'T BE AFRAID TO OBTAIN PERFECT PITCH, IT WILL NOT RUIN MUSIC FOR YOU, IN FACT IT WILL COMPLETELY CLEAR UP MUSIC AND OPEN YOUR EAR TO RICHER TONES AND SOUND. Trust me. It's worth it. The urban legends, don't listen to those, just find out for yourself what is true and what isn't. - Danny-O
