Education for Absolute Pitch: A New Way to Learn Piano

Education for Absolute Pitch: A New Way to Learn Piano by Naoyuki Taneda. Perfect Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780976143512.

Ruth and Nayouki Taneda have taught music to children for more than 30 years. In this handbook, they show how it is possible to develop absolute pitch (also known as "perfect pitch") in preschool children, giving them a skill previously thought of as an innate privilege of only especially gifted musicians. The authors discuss the myths related to absolute pitch, and they describe the effects of absolute pitch on a childs musical upbringing. In the process, they present a new style of instrumental instruction.
