Perfect pitch

General

Perfect pitch (absolute pitch) is the rare ability to identify or produce a musical note without a reference pitch. It is more common in people who began musical training very young.

Genetics research suggests both inherited variation and early training contribute to perfect pitch.

This result reflects research-level variation in auditory processing and is not a music skill test.

Early musical training, language background (tonal languages may help), exposure, and hearing health all strongly affect whether someone develops perfect pitch.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
