In Reply to: As someone who was told he has perfect pitch and is a singer I find 'equal temperament' to be just plain WRONG posted by Timbo in Oz on November 13, 2011 at 02:29:42:
I'm not sure I've heard a choir that exclusively used equal temperment, nor do I know why one would. The only reason to use it exclusively is if it is on an instrument that has fixed pitches.With regards to the term "perfect pitch" I think there is a lot of problem/confusion resulting from the word "perfect" in it. It's just a term, and there are varying levels of specificity amongst people with perfect pitch, but as it's usually used it's a black-and-white term, either you have it or you don't. Not everyone with it can tune a piano by ear without reference, but some can. I'm also not aware of a string player, for example, that has perfect pitch and plays with strict equal temperment.
The person who told you you have perfect pitch may have meant your pitch is perfect (good pitch) as opposed to "perfect pitch" as the term is used. You would know unequivocally if you have it or not.
