A scientist's response to Rick Beato's video "Why Adults Can't Develop Perfect Pitch."

I am a professional Jazz Musician, a Lecturer at Middlesex University, an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, and a Music Psychology PhD student at the University of Cambridge (where I am studying Absolute (i.e., 'Perfect') Pitch).

No animosity is intended towards Rick Beato in creating this video. Its function is to add something useful to the public understanding of Absolute Pitch (which is the topic of my PhD).

Comments:
• I'm aware I pronounce 'Wernicke's area' strangely
• The Bachem statistic is actually from 1955, not 1954 (as I say in the video)

UPDATE the Absolute Pitch training experiment is now closed. The data analysis is well underway, so more with you asap! :)
