First of all, explain what absolute pitch is. Absolute sense of sound refers to the ability to distinguish the specific pitch of sound without reference sound. Corresponding to this concept is the relative sense of sound, that is, it is necessary to distinguish and confirm the pitch of a sound with reference to a reference sound, and then understand the musical and tonal system of music.
This is an amazing ability, which few people have, about 3 out of every 10000 people. An answer from Zhihu:
Once you have an absolute sense of sound, the way you listen to the world will change greatly: others can hear what pitch it is when they pour a glass of water, move a chair and knock on the keyboard. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble instead. There's so much energy in people. It's not necessarily a good thing for you to spend part of your energy on these stupid things, is it? (I guess)
Back to the original topic. Why do I think Conan's situation is completely impossible? In fact, the answer is obvious: you already have an absolute sense of sound, can't you hear yourself singing out of tune?
Some people may ask: can he really hear? The answer is no, people feel very good about themselves when they sing.
Then someone may ask: will his bone-to-bone sound have symptoms, which will cause him to listen to his own voice incorrectly?
Well, that's a good question. But unfortunately, it is still wrong. Because in Conan's theatrical version of Trembling Music Score, there is such a plot: Conan and another female singer with absolute sense of sound are in a position where they can't touch the phone, so they sing a specific frequency with absolute sense of sound to dial the phone (this way of dialing the phone is feasible in theory). Then the question comes: if there is something wrong with his bone-to-bone sound transmission, why does he make a sound with a specific pitch?
So there is a contradiction: if he has an absolute sense of tone, of course he will realize that he is singing out of tune; If he doesn't realize that he is singing out of tune, then either he is actually singing out of tune (joking … everyone knows that he is singing out of tune, including the female singer mentioned above who also has an absolute sense of tone), or he doesn't have an absolute sense of tone at all.
Then someone may say: this is an animation after all. You use this contradiction to overturn this conclusion, which still makes me unacceptable. When we push it into reality, will there be a person who has an absolute sense of tone but sings out of tune (he can realize it himself, but he can't correct it)? In fact, this issue is what I want to discuss most, and it is also a more meaningful issue.
Let's start with the conclusion: I think it is possible, although it is very unlikely.
For a similar example, this kind of person is just like a writer who won the Mao Dun Literature Prize who can't write on paper. You can really say that a writer doesn't have to be able to write. Maybe people didn't learn to write when they were born, but just skipped this stage and began to learn computer typing (that is to say, they only learned pinyin, but never learned strokes and radicals); Or this person is physically disabled like Hawking and can only dictate and let others help him write.
But at this time, the problem comes again: in the first case, is it really possible for someone to learn computer typing instead of writing at all? In the second case, what kind of genius does this person need to cultivate extraordinary writing talent under extremely bad conditions, so as to win literary awards? I can even say that only those who learn to write from an early age can fully cultivate their writing ability on the road of growth and win awards.
Let's turn our attention back to music. Singing is like writing, which can be said to be the most basic thing to introduce music. After all, there is no instrument easier to use than human voice (this can't be exemplified by triangles, can it? )。 It is as difficult to get an absolute sense of sound as it is to win a literary prize. Talent alone is absolutely not enough, and a lot of acquired practice is needed. In these exercises, writing and singing can be said to be completely inevitable and almost essential steps. Therefore, I don't think anyone can bypass these steps and achieve extraordinary achievements. Of course, singing here does not mean being able to sing a very beautiful melody and being familiar with all kinds of singing methods, but just needing to sing accurately at the basic level. Just as a writer is not necessarily a calligrapher at the same time.
One more thing. Some people may feel that they must sing to learn music. Can we just listen and not sing? The answer is still no (or, more strictly, almost impossible). Just like learning a language, both input (listening and reading) and output (speaking and writing) are needed, and synchronization will be more efficient and complement each other to avoid short board effect. The same is true of learning music. No one can cultivate himself as a composer just by listening to music. If you just listen and don't sing, the speed of progress is bound to be worrying, and it is even more impossible to cultivate extraordinary talents.
But who knows that there will really be such talents? So I can only say that there is this possibility in theory, although it is so small that it can be completely ignored. There are more than 6 billion people on the earth, and I'm afraid there won't be any. ...
