not sure if I agree that having AP ensures that learning music will be easy. at least for contemporary western music, identifying and producing a pitch is a nearly useless skill compared to identifying and producing intervals (relative pitch)
- whimsicalism 3y agoPretty much anyone who has absolute pitch has relative pitch.
- fumeux_fume 3y agoThat's great, but it's the absolute pitch that's not as useful
- klodolph 3y agoIt’s hard to deny how useful AP is for people who transcribe music.

- tchaffee 3y agoNot easy, but less difficult. Not at all useless. When I've forgotten how to play a melody and don't have the sheet music I ask my wife which notes are wrong and in a matter of seconds she has me back on track. This is something that might take me so long I just give up and practice a different song. She can also listen to any song and instantly transcribe chords and melody for me. That's a huge time saver in learning a song. One which I don't lean on very often because I want to develop my own skills. But her ear enables her to learn and play songs far more quickly than me.
