This software allows users to test their pitch ability and measure their pitch take over and retention skills. It also includes a feature to measure the ability to accurately sing a named note without a reference, helping users assess their progress towards achieving Absolute Pitch.
As a software designed to demystify the term Perfect Pitch, this program takes a scientific approach to measure one of its main criteria: the ability to accurately sing a named note without a reference. This method provides a more accurate measure of the user's abilities rather than the common belief that some people are simply born with perfect pitch.
The program measures the user's pitch take over and retention ability, both of which are essential music skills. Being able to take over a pitch is necessary when playing in a group, and retaining a pitch for a longer time period assists in understanding a piece from the tonic of the piece.
The test measures the time between a sounded pitch and the accurate reproduction with the voice in seconds, with an upper maximum of 4 minutes proposed, known as Felix's Pitch Point. Users can select four notes of their choice to be tested on, each with a maximum test time of four minutes, totaling 16 minutes of testing time. Daily training and repeated testing enable the user to track their progress towards Absolute Pitch.
The test is challenging since no other sounds are allowed during the chosen test time, and 4 minutes of silence can be difficult. However, the program provides feedback on the user's ability to accurately sing a named note without a reference, allowing them to identify their weak points and improve upon them.
This scientific approach to measuring the user's abilities allows them to estimate the necessary effort and progress towards their goal of achieving Absolute Pitch. Overall, this program is an excellent tool for anyone seeking to improve their musical skills and reach their full potential.
