Relative pitch is definitely learnable as an adult. So-called perfect pitch is the ability that has been thought to be something you&#x27;re born with, or not, but more recent research indicates that kids can have it &quot;turned on&quot;, or at least, kids can develop relative pitch that is good enough to be indistinguishable from perfect pitch, for all intents and purposes (the listener just has to refresh their pitch memory with a reference pitch now and then...maybe once a day).
