<p>when I say "true" perfect pitch, I am referring to perfect pitch that is not learned or developed. True perfect pitch is pretty much like child prodigies who can hear any note on a piano at, say, age 8 and know exactly what pitch it is. Stuff like that. Ya know?</p>
<p>"It seems to me to suggest that perfect pitch CAN be trained in a large portion of the population if you start early enough."</p>
<p>Perfect pitch is EXTREMELY rare. Good to great pitch is mor realistic to expect, and that sort of thing can be taught/learned through mastering music theory, etc. But perfect pitch, you kinda just have to be born with. Learning to have it is very rare.</p>
