"Perfect pitch" kid or hoax?

Remember the term perfect pitch? Watch this video (click here) and answer these questions in your notepad (you might need to turn the volume up a bit to hear the kid):
  1. Do you think this kid really has perfect pitch or is this is actually just another youtube hoax?
  2. Are musical notes given the same names in English and in Spanish?
  3. What do the terms "flat" and "sharp" mean (in the video)?
  4. Do you think this kid was trained to recognize the notes, or is it an innate skill?
  5. What advantages do people with perfect pitch have over the rest of us?

  1. I'd like to think it's not a hoax - what talent he's got if it isn't. He could be a tremendous musician one day.
    Then again, given the recent events in Colorado, who knows.
