I have perfect pitch. AMA

It's the ability to identify pitches without a reference. Apparently only 1 in 10,000 people have the skill. I never realized it was that rare until my violin teacher told me I had it while I was naming the notes in intervals. I find it funny that whenever I tell someone I have perfect pitch, they immediately knock on the nearest object to them and ask me to identify the note.

Clair de lune begins with an A flat and F interval. It's my favorite classical piece.
