To those who doubt this level of perception, saying most of your favorite artists don’t even have perfect pitch so why do people say you need it to be a good musician? Well you don’t need it to be a good musician, but having perfect pitch is only beneficial to an artist. It doesn’t automatically make you a rock star. There are other factors that make you a good musician. Rhythm, Creativity, Technical facility, Memory, but hearing above all is the most important. Every musician you listen to relies more on hearing than anything else. Even the most well-know musicians, although they may not have Perfect Pitch, they do have very good hearing. Music is the hearing art, like painting is the seeing art. Are there many sight-impaired painters are there? No. It’s the same way with music, the better you can hear and understand the notes, the better you will write the music you really want to write. And anyone listening to your music will have a better interpretation of what you are trying to convey in your song. Anyone who writes his or her own music, the better you hear the better you write, and Perfect Pitch is the top of the mountain.
