I am born Welsh and one might assume that music is in my genes fo that reason only. I am not sure if I have pefect pitch but think I may, as I hear (and comment) if a singer is a bit off-key. What interests me is that one of my granddaughters (my daughter's child), who is diagnosed with autism and is basically non-verbal, appears to have perfect pitch. She sings beautifully, including language!!, but only when she feels like it, NOT on demand LOL. My son is also very musical but my 2 daughters are not. I have wondered for years if music is the key to developing communication for this precious child. Anothe interesting research project for someone! This is fascinating.
