Your Ear is better than perfect.

Singing Funnel Method Explained - muscle memory

Your ear is better than perfect means: your ear can differentiate pitches better than 50 cents, the required precision to assign a pitch to a note name, to claim absolute pitch.

Does that mean you have perfect pitch? Unfortunately, no. Well over 90 % of professional musicians can tune their instrument to a precision better than 50 cents, if they have a reference sound. That means the ear is capable to do a good job, or in most cases even better than the requirements for perfect pitch.

So, if so many musicians have a better ear than the required 50 cents precision, then why don't they have absolute pitch?

The problem, - to claim absolute pitch -, lies in remembering a sound without a reference sound. To remember a sound doesn't seem to be difficult. After all you remember song-melodies quite well. But song melodies get recognized by their relative pitch changes and not their absolute pitches.

So, how can you can remember a particular sound or pitch to a desired absolute precision? Can you improve your pitch memory by training? Of course!

Up to now most attempts to improve your pitch memory were not very successful. We have analyzed the reasons and proposed a new solution. In short, the two main reasons are: a) you don't find a person that gives you appropriate feedback and b) you don't see progress.

Our solution gives you: a) pitch feedback and b) tracks your progress graphically.
