William Schumann and others demonstrated that true tone deafness is as rare as ptomane poisoning. Pitch recognitions can be taught and learned. By using Curin hand signals and Solfege syllables,the intervalic relationships among pitches can be kinesthetically reenforced.
I hae seen Kodaly trained music teachers in public schools get first graders to the point where they can recall and sing an A after about four or five minutes without singing. Yes,you can activate and make more coordinated the parts of your brain that function as a "mind's ear" to recall tone.
Can you hear tones in your brain? If you can, you can improve your pitch recognition-with practice.
