It's a superpower, in a way.

To have perfect pitch is to be able to hear music and immediately recognize the notes that compose it.

The musician and YouTuber Saturax owns it: “It's something that we don't actually control, it's really something that is suffered.

"

Does having perfect pitch rhyme with being a good musician?

Not necessarily: "Absolute pitch is not a thing of musical genius."

Some musical geniuses have it, Duke Ellington is one of them, but what makes a good musician is not his ability to hear notes in the absolute, as what makes a good painter is not. his ability to know colors is the stroke of a pencil.
