Re: Who has now's the time by charlie parker
The original is in (concert key) F.
By the way, it is a good thing that not everyone has perfect pitch. Those with perfect pitch tend to play a wee bit sharp. (no joke here) Being a wee bit sharp is the only way they can differentiate what they are playing to what their ear is telling them.
That aside --
We do need tougher teachers. To rely on sheet music instead of our ears is a major problem I find in many clinics that I perform. It is not perfect pitch that they need, just training in hearing any pitch!
For example, we're concerning ourselves here with someone who can't (or won't, more possibly) hear the simple melody of Now's The Time. This is distressing.
