That is you learn to better differentiate sounds by their pitch and thus you learn to recognize musical notes by name. The Western music system divides an octave into 12 half-steps. To claim absolute pitch in this system, you must be able to distinguish the pitches to 50 cents. A deviation of 50 cents corresponds to a quarter-step. Therefore if you can assign a sound with a precision of a quarter steps, you can give that pitch a name that corresponds to a symbol on the staff.

The software consists of two animated introductory lesson, 11 exercises for The Singing Funnel Method, 8 exercises for The Octave Anchor Pitches Method, and an exercise to recognize intervals.
