What is known about adult aquisition of relative pitch? (Asking ... for a friend.)

• dzdt 6y ago
  From the article: " there are no known cases of an adult successfully acquiring it (Brady, 1970; Ward and Burns, 1999; Levitin and Rogers, 2005). " Edit: Oh, sorry, that was for perfect pitch. You asked for relative pitch, which was I guess a joke? Or maybe it was a question of can someone learn to accurately identify musical intervals who does not have perfect pitch?

    I'm also interested in this. How hard would it be to remember 440Hz and then just go up in your head, searching with octaves and then going up and down when close?

    I have an ear-training app (Perfect Ear) and I practice 10-15 mins per day. What is known about what works, and what doesn't?
