Perfect Pitch/Absolute Pitch

Concerned75

I'm just interested if there are members on here with perfect or absolute pitch? When you first found you had it? The benefits etc...
I'm not sure if I was born with it but I was able to identify what key songs from TV programmes or pop music was written in when I was about 9. Mine was discovered officially by my music teacher when I was 16. I didn't actually know what it was or called until then. Funnily enough, she had knew me 8yrs by then and didn't realise!
For me, it's useful and I must say, I do cringe when someone is out of tune or when the radio is playing a song in the wrong pitch.
The only downside I find is not being able to understand brass instrument music score. It's like kryptonite to me. I can't hear what I see, which is very confusing!!
