Those who possess absolute pitch differ from nonmusicians in certain structural and functional characteristics of the brain.1 It is known that most absolute pitch pos sessors start music instruction by age seven and that absolute pitch is unlikely to develop if music instruction is initiated after this age.2 Interestingly, early musical instruction has been associated with the development of selected spatial abilities.3,4 Studies that provided six- to nine-year olds with music instruction did not find improvement in these abilities or found them to be only temporary.5,6 The present study focused on the relationship between absolute pitch, early musical training, and spatial abilities.
