QUOTE(wind&fire @ Nov 3 2005, 1:44 AM) it doesnt decide personality though does it? i could take indentical twins and raise one to hate a certain minority and raise the other in THAT minority... theyre not the same person... its nuture that decides who you are...  no i saw this video and one twin was raised as a natzi and one was a jew in another country when then met that had the same habits, and likes and dislikes and even wore the same suit to meet eachother. |

QUOTE(mipadi @ Nov 6 2005, 5:30 PM) Is one genetically disposed to perfect pitch, or just disposed to the potential to develop perfect pitch? Of that, I do not know. I guess the question would be, is it possible to develop Perfect Pitch? |

And that's why there's a balance, like Michael said earlier, in the nature vs nurture argument. But... are you asking if it's possible to develop perfect pitch in the right environment? |

And, if Michelle Branch never knew about pitch, music, or tone, she never would have had perfect pitch. She had the potential, but without knowing about it, she never could have developed perfect pitch. |

But... are you asking if it's possible to develop perfect pitch in the right environment? My question if it was to develop perfect pitch without already growing up as a prodigy like Mozart was. So I'm basically asking if an Average Joe can do it. QUOTE(mai_z @ Nov 9 2005, 4:43 PM) Yep! Definately possible, my music teacher did.
