Just a note on perfect pitch...
Everyone I've met with "perfect pitch" failed miserably when tested on it. It's easy to have "perfect pitch" so long as nobody calls you on it. They say "that's A sharp," you say "no it's not" and they get all flustered. I have lots of people tell me "that's not exactly in tune," but I go and check, and it IS actually in tune.
That's not to say it doesn't exist, but I've never seen anyone who actually had it, after years and years of musical study.
On the other hand, when I learn a choral piece and sing it for weeks straight, for several months after (at least) I can start close to exactly on pitch, but then it slowly withers away.
