Nicola, You may be right, but it sounds like you may have been 'born' with it and you simply built confidence in your skill instead of 'improving' it... I guess we'll never know ;) P.S. Wow! You're from Michigan too? It really is a small world :)

Yes, I have perfect pitch and I actually find it quite useful in the arena of composition. Key plays an important role in my compositions. Certain keys have moods, feelings, etc. associated with them. Therefore, when I think of a tune, I automatically know what key it is in and I can play it on the piano immediately. Unfortunately, I don't think that it can be developed unless a person possesses a certain genetic predisposition. I have yet to meet someone who wasn't "born" with it or who actively worked to develop it.
