Rick Beato has some videos about how he trained his kids: [VIDEO] I never tried anything similar nor have a music background but found it fascniting to watch it
In another video Rick Beato said he facilitated development of his son's perfect pitch by exposing him to a lot of complex music in early age. [LINK] His hypothesis, based on some studies, is that children in ealy age have ability for perfect pitch but later loose it, if it's not utilized. The same way as young children are able to percieve any phoneme of any language, but later loose this ability and only recognise phonemes of the language spoken in the family (that's a known scientific fact). [VIDEO]
