A Note for My Mom
An NPR article on perfect pitch. Interesting stuff — especially learning that not all “A” tones that orchestra tune to are the same “A.”…
And the pitch going sharper as we age? Dude. I wonder how that works — if maybe the bones in the ear just aren’t as flexible, maybe, and so transmit lower (but louder) frequencies as higher (but slightly softer) ones?
And I totally didn’t know that about the As, either.
I did not know about the A’s, either.
My mom has perfect pitch (hence the title). She’s actually en route to here (with my dad) for the weekend, hence my noting the article for her later perusal.
