[Important] Perfect Pitch is a very rare skill which, as per the current understanding, has to be trained and acquired at a very young age, most preferably below 7. However recent studies suggest that individuals with higher general auditory working memory may be able to practice and improve pitch recognition abilities well beyond this critical period.
