Next Level Perfect Pitch (8 Year Old)

In this video my son Dylan Perfect Pitch (Absolute Pitch) is tested on single notes, note pairs and complex polychords. I discovered Dylan had Perfect Pitch at age 3 and began teaching him music theory so he would understand exactly what he was hearing.

"Ok son, you ready?"
"yeah"
"you're adopted."

[johnexcelgregorio]

Me stepping on a bee
Kid: that's a b flat

[Tangoez]

Man : "what are you?"
Kid : " A minor"

[manray]

I'm pretty sure this kid was a piano in a past life.

[theresnothingdoinghere]

"sing b flat"
"Mmmh"
"Great"

[danielowens]

He could have gotten every single one wrong and I would not be able to tell the difference

[gonponieman]

“ready?”
kid: yeah
“your mom died”
kid: F

[Musical.Princess]

Me: Drops a nuclear bomb:


Kid: That’s A major explosion

[mundane]

Somebody: *coughs*

This kid: _that’s a c minor sharp seven augmented 4th flat 11 played with an a major add 13 sharp (no 5)/e flat suspended transitioning to a c7/g major 9th eleven flat 5 played at a diminished interval of exactly 457 hertz (0.656 wavelengths in mircometres) proportioned to the lydian scale played without dominant (g note in the solfège system) fret according to the semitone scaled to the diatonic step of a 12 bar blues progression notating to the staff progression to that of extended arpeggio octave note of the three-fifths scale aka _*_b minor_*

[ahmed]

man: "sing an f#"
kid: *cries*
man: "excellent"

[ashutoshtewari]

"Sing a B flat"
Kid: ummm
"Correct!"

[stratonarrow]

Him getting the poly chords AND THEN SINGING AN UNRELATED NOTE on demand is just mind boggling

[joshuacho]

When I was his age, I managed to balance the light switch

[Jamie-oriq]

"e flat..."
"what is it?"
*"E E FLAT"*

[SheppoG]

My recommended: “we just wanted to remind you how bad your musical ear is”

Me: brb just gonna cry

[Rkm-gkpb]

Guy: Are you ready?
Kid: Yes
Guy: Your dog is dead
Kid: G flat

[ryanninnes]

What’s this chord?
*smashes all the keys*
“C sharp d minor sharp to the power of 5 divided by 2 Abraham Lincoln”

[vmint]

When i was at his age, i slowly close the fridge to see how the light turns off.

[terryslade]

It took me two semesters in an advanced music theory/ear training class to even APPROACH what this kid is able to do! Great job, Dylan!

When I was his age, my father told me to go to the other room to see if he is there... and I went to check...
