Perfect Pitch is as Gretchen pointed out a mixed blessing. I have what might be called 'excellent relative pitch', meaning that I am 95% accurate on where I ned to be. The other 5% requires hard work to catch up.Some I've sung with with perfect pitch struggled when things weren't "perfect". This was particularly true if a piece was transposed to a different key from what was on the page in front of them. One of my early theory teachers encouraged anyone with perfect pitch to develope their relative pitch. His theory was that even with P.P. they had the ability to train their ear to easily transpose what was on the page, by becoming very accurate in their interval work. If you knew what the interval was you could transpose it to any key easily.
