Hi Professor Jobst.

I purchased your book a little while ago and I'm very glad I did. Your book put to rest all the uncertainty I had (i.e. whether or not being it's possible to develop perfect pitch after childhood and if so, whether or not I was even using the right method). I also loved how you pointed out all the different kinds of perfect pitch.

Thanks again for your invaluable help,

Rob M.

Dear Joshua Jobst,

I'm having much success with your method, within 1 month I have acquired passive absolute pitch on all the naturals and with a 5 octave range! Thanks for your discovery!

Something else which is quite awesome happened recently - my fiance who doens't play any music instruments was watching me test myself and she shouted out, "I know that one!" Well, she was right! I tested her on a couple other notes and she got them right as well! Wow! I guess she over heard me training and caught on. Pretty cool.

Josh,

I must say that when I read your method it made sense. Since I received the method a little over a week ago, I've been trying to listen daily, though you know how those things go! So just now, I decided to give the first test a shot. You won't be surprised, but I was, that I did pretty well. Wow! Thanks, and I'll let you know how things progress.

Joe M.

p.s. I just ran through Test 2 and didn't do badly on that one either!

Hi Joshua,

I am a performer/music teacher in Ann Arbor, and purchased your Pitch Paths book at King's Keyboard House where I give lessons. 

After spending about one month with your course I see you are definitely on to something! I congratulate you on this work because it seems very powerful and effective in improving a person's perception of pitch. After one month I have been able to almost complete the course with regard to passive pitch recognition. In fact, for the past couple days I've been taking the final test and seem to always miss just one note, usually not the same one. It seems at some point I'll lose concentration and get lost, usually by trying to compare pitches relatively rather than just pick them out. 

I never dreamed I could get this far with a seemingly random set of chromatic tones even if they were within one octave.

I've tried to experiment with some of my students using bits of your course.  It seems to make subtle improvements in almost everyone, even those who have a hard time with pitches.

One student in particular (who is six) seems to prove the validity of your method. I had initially tested him, and he could not identify any tones whatsoever on the piano. A scientist or academic would have immediately pronounced "that boy was not born with perfect pitch!" Nevertheless, one lesson I played him a brief bit of your CD. Like any typical six-year-old he is full of energy and gets bored quickly--I didn't even think he was listening to the little presentation. The following week he came in and could name several notes! I mean, you could play middle C and he would say, "What, do you think I'm a fool? Of course, that's middle C!" At present he still can't recognize all the tones - we're working on that - but the ones he knows, he knows! GREAT WORK!
