Armand has perfect pitch.

He might not be able to match someone’s voice flawlessly (ie a woman or young child), but he can match inflection, accent, breath, tone, pitch, diction, and intensity perfectly. This, in addition to the dark gift, is how he learns languages and loses his accents so quickly.

He knows who’s coming down the hall based on foot falls. 

He can match any musical note and takes great pleasure in singing. Because he was given the dark gift at 16/17, he would still have a young boy’s falsetto and a grown man’s base without the annoying voice cracks or range gaps. 

One of his favorite things to do when someone is singing is to join in with a consonance or dissonance harmony depending on his mood. He loves to make Lestat’s singing sound bad, so 8/10 times, Armand will sing discordantly with him.

He can sound almost exactly like most male singers from the 1960′s to today like Fun., Styx, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Paul Simon, and not Hozier (he tried, the range was too low for him).

After playing with a new instrument for the first time, he’d be able to play his favorite songs without any sour notes. He does not, however, write his own music.
