There is an unwritten law amongst many musicians, and that is... "If you can write your own music you are ahead of 99% of every other musician out there!" After all, music at its core is about expressing your emotions creatively through sound. Unfortunately, there are so many musicians that never even try to write their own songs. Either they are afraid of failure, or they don't think they're good enough. And worse still, some try and eventually convince themselves that they don't have the ear for it.
Before you give up on this idea of writing your own music there is one major point that you MUST know... Without a thorough comprehension of pitch, a musician will never develop musical intuition, that secret element which separates the greats from the mediocre.
It is this musical intuition which allows a musician to hear melodies in their mind and to improvise beautiful solos over chords. And whether the musician who has this ability realizes it or not, all of it rests on the skill of pitch recognition. It is the guiding force behind it all!
Unfortunately, up until now there hasn't been an ear training software product which was focused on learning these skills in the shortest amount of time possible. The fact is that all other ear training methods out there are either too slow to learn, or worse... They don't work at all!
But thanks to the release of Pitch Master Pro, musicians now have a faster and more effective way of training their inner ear to recognize notes, intervals, chords, and scales by name! This software is light years ahead of anything else on the market. It is truly cutting edge!
The power of pitch recognition means that when you hear a chord you know what notes will sound great over it. It is like having a secret weapon that others can only dream about! And now with Pitch Master Pro anyone can learn the skills of both relative pitch and absolute pitch in record time.

The Perception of Pitch
Click here to Grab a Copy of The Pure pitch Method!
Pitch perception is fundamental to melody in music and prosody in speech. Unlike many animals, the vast majority of human adults store melodic information primarily in terms of relative not absolute pitch, and readily recognize a melody whether rendered in a high or a low pitch range. We show that at 6 months infants are also primarily relative pitch processors. Infants familiarized with a melody for 7 days preferred, on the eighth day, to listen to a novel melody in comparison to the familiarized one, regardless of whether the melodies at test were presented at the same pitch as during familiarization or transposed up or down by a perfect fifth (7/12th of an octave) or a tritone (1/2 octave). On the other hand, infants showed no preference for a transposed over original-pitch version of the familiarized melody, indicating that either they did not remember the absolute pitch, or it was not as salient to them as the relative pitch.
The note A above middle C played on a piano is perceived to be of the same pitch as a pure tone of 440 Hz. However, a slight change in frequency need not lead to a perceived change in pitch. The just noticeable difference (the threshold at which a change in pitch is perceived) is about five cents (hundredths of a semitone), or about 0.3% in frequency, but varies over the range of hearing and is more precise when the two pitches are played simultaneously. Like other human stimuli, the perception of pitch also can be explained by the Weber-Fechner law.
Pitch may depend on the amplitude of the sound, especially at low frequencies. For instance, a low bass note will sound lower in pitch if it is louder. Like other senses, the relative perception of pitch can be fooled, resulting in "audio illusions". There are several of these, such as the tritone paradox, but most notably the Shepard scale, where a continuous or discrete sequence of specially formed tones can be made to sound as if the sequence continues ascending or descending forever.
