Musicians, listen up. This program really works!

Before I bought it and tried it, I believed you had to be born with perfect pitch. If you weren’t, it was impossible, or, at least extremely difficult, to develop it.
I began composing at a very young age, and before learning how to write music I had to depend on a musician friend to help me transfer the music in my head to notes on paper. This is when I was introduced to the world of absolute pitch. As I played the music, I would tell him each note one by one. When he said I didn’t need to tell him the notes – instead, I should just play and he would recognize them all -- I challenged him to prove it. Not only could he identify every note I played, he also knew all the individual notes within the chords. I asked him how he did it, and he replied he didn’t know how. All he knew was that every note has its own sound and he could recognize it.

For years, I would play my guitar, trying, without success, to recognize and memorize every tone. I could recall only the pitch of A. After several more years of playing and learning songs by ear, my sense of relative pitch improved, but only to where I could recognize major and minor chord patterns. I still couldn’t identify the keys they were played in.
I asked my private music teachers and the music instructors at school what I could do to master perfect pitch. They all told me perfect pitch cannot be taught or learned; you must be born with it. And, for 20 years, I believed that to be true.

Then, five years ago, while I was teaching guitar at a local music store, I met a piano teacher who had perfect pitch. She was playing a game, “Name that Note,” with one of her students. When she turned to me, and asked if I could identify the note she was playing, I answered no, I couldn’t because I wasn’t born with perfect pitch. She replied she wasn’t born with it either, but learned to achieve perfect pitch with David Lucas Burge’s Perfect Pitch program. I was shocked, to say the least. And figured it was worth a try, as I had seen the program advertised in every guitar magazine I picked up.
I bought both Burge’s Perfect Pitch and Relative Pitch programs. The purchase turned out to be the single best thing I’ve done to further my career as a musician and music teacher. Yes, perfect pitch can be learned! And what’s more exciting for me than being able to recall exact pitches is what the Relative Pitch program did for my ear: The Relative Pitch program is like a Harvard education in music theory, all by ear. If you want to be the best musician you can be, this is the program you need.
