Could this be the genetic predisposition aspect at play? I'm a complete idiot musically but my perception of sounds seems to be better than most (I can tell facial expressions from voice only,or sometimes just the sounds of their saliva, when others can't). I can't hold a tune, or rather I have no idea if I am holding a tune. I have wondered if I had acquired the luck part without the training required for the skill part. Interestingly I get asked about my musical background a lot, because of my daughter's ability, whose conversations with her teachers have been beyond my comprehension for years now. While she also lacks perfect pitch, there seems to certainly be something going on. Her Mandarin teacher asked if she was raised around Chinese speakers from an early age because her ability to hear and match tones is something you generally can't just pick up the way she did.
