Learning to hear with absolute pitch requires both talent and tenacity. Little talent? Tenacity can help get you there. But if you lack tenacity, then you won't even have the desire to learn. But focus on the reasons why you want to hear with absolute pitch and you will develop the muscles of tenacity and passion. And that will help you through the frustration of learning a new skill.
The good news is that people who weren't fortunate enough to have learned absolute pitch at a very early age can learn to hear with absolute pitch through learning the craft of absolute pitch hearing. And with enough passion, dedication, and tenacity, you will also experience first hand the art of absolute pitch hearing.
The Craft of Absolute Pitch Hearing
Like any craft, the best way to learn is to get a teacher, study, and practice. It's no different from learning to be a carpenter. First you learn the correct way to make things. With practice, you become good and your skills become second nature. Finally, you add your own twist and find your voice. Maybe you innovate new techniques. Most likely, you begin to understand the art of your craft.
The Art of Absolute Pitch Hearing
Nobody can give you this understanding. Art is discovered through curious personal exploration into the world of sound. It is ineffable. It is a deep knowing through experience. It is the vast and fundamental difference between listening and hearing.
Only time spent in the mystery of sound will teach you to understand the art of hearing.
I leave you with the words of a great artist:
"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
-Pablo Picasso
