Absolute Pitch

If you're looking to improve your musical skills, Absolute Pitch is a must-have software for ear training and learning perfect pitch. This app comes with a virtual piano that can help you recognize every music note, develop your aural recognition, and ultimately become a better musician.

The unique teaching method in Absolute Pitch focuses on teaching absolute or perfect pitch. This is the ability to recognize any note played without relying on a reference note, unlike relative pitch. To ensure that you develop this skill, the software plays notes randomly in an atonal context, reducing the possibility of using relative pitch.

To learn each note, the software plays a random sequence including that note. Your aural recognition is strengthened by visual stimuli and association with the name and position of that note on the piano keyboard. You can even use colors to further connect the sounds with the notes.

After you're confident and have learned the notes, you can take various tests with customizable difficulty levels. You can start by identifying just one note in one octave, or move up to naming all notes in all seven octaves. You can make a test easier by enabling an octave-tolerant feature, where you're only required to get the correct note's name, and not its correct octave.

Moreover, Absolute Pitch comes with a realistic piano sound and a near full-size piano keyboard that you can use to play polyphonic music with your mouse, computer keyboard, or touchscreen.

Overall, Absolute Pitch is an exceptional software for ear training, and you won't regret investing in it if you're serious about improving your musical abilities.
