One of the huge factors would be his father was a music

IQ is going to play a difference in pitch ability

Pitch ability? I don't think this is IQ related at all.

What you need to "do pitch":

1) A functioning ear
2) Functioning neural link between ear and brain
3) A brain that can understand the pre-processed
   signals from ear.

Pitch is no different than discerning:

- brightness
- colour
- temperature
- taste

IOW, it's just a sense. The ear also discerns loudness, but
let's just stay with pitch.

With very little training, anyone that is not tone deaf can
learn the difference between a major and minor third, for
example (maybe you do this already). Tricks help with this
(song beginnings).

The tone deaf:

This is something I don't understand well, but could it be
that the connection between the ear and brain did not develop
properly and cannot discern pitch (or scrambles it). Or maybe,
the pitch is _discerned_ but they cannot reproduce it vocally.

I am colour blind. There are certain shades of green and brown
I have trouble telling apart. But I can otherwise discern any
other colour. Bomb disposal was not a career option with a
future (cut the brown wire or the green one?) So you need
functioning senses.

Pitch and loudness are very basic hearing senses. To discern
what you hear only requires a bit of training.

So I don't buy the IQ argument.  The IQ came into it for
composing and working out arrangements etc.

Snark.

It's all back to practice... etc. e
