Perfect Pitch Isn't Just for Kids-Adults Can Develop It Too

Our research team recently ran a study showing that adults can, in fact, learn absolute pitch - and do this quite well! With the right kind of training, even adults can develop this skill that was once thought to be gated by genetics and confined to those who had exposure to music training in early childhood.
