I have a lot to say about perfect pitch, but let’s talk about something that’s ostensibly a little easier. Rhythm. Can you learn perfect rhythm?
Probably. Let’s start with 60 beats per minute. You probably learned to count seconds 1-1000, 2-1000, maybe 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, whatever.
But as it turns out, people are actually pretty good at remembering tempos. March time? That’s 120 beats per minute.
Yeah, da da da da da da. Man, close enough for jazz. There’s probably a better song for you, but start there, learn it, and add some tempi to your repertoire.
