Today I would like to talk about a great and underrated project by the great composer, multi-instrumentalist and teacher Rick Beato.
Rick is sharing free and down to earth music theory, guitar and ear training videos on his youtube channel :

His son aural skills and perfect pitch are jaw-dropping :
Here there's a description of the Nuryl Project with the youtube promo video:
"..Nuryl is an education-based company that uses High Information Music to stimulate your baby’s brain and boost cognition. Nuryl integrates principles of infant learning identified from decades of research in cognitive development into a music training curriculum. High Information Music is tonally rich with highly complex harmonies that move rapidly into unexpected places by incorporating unusual melodic structures. Thus, our curriculum was designed to utilize elements of surprise to enhance learning while simultaneously engaging multiple brain regions to enrich neural circuitry. All this wrapped up in an easy-to-use app!
Starting around 5 months pregnant, you can begin using Nuryl with your baby. This specially designed playlist of prenatal music has been hand chosen or professional studio recordings that are unique and proprietary to Nuryl.
At 5 months pregnant during your 2nd trimester, through to your 3rd trimester at 9 months pregnant, your baby can hear the symphony of sounds around you. While your baby is still prenatal, play the Nuryl playlist through a set of padded headphones being sure not to play it too loud for your baby’s sensitive ears.
When your newborn baby has arrived, you can play our special infant music through a 1/4” jack or a bluetooth device of your choice. Please don’t use headphones on your baby as this may damage their ears.
Babies ranging in age from newborn to 2 years of age have the largest opportunity to benefit from the Nuryl baby brain development music, as the infant brain is developing at it's peak performance. After 2 years of age, the infant brain has made many of these important connections and is in a slow decline in regards to the amount and speed of those connections back to that of a normal developing child’s brain into adulthood."
One final bonus link of Rick talking about the difference and advantages of Perfect Pitch vs Relative Pitch:
