@@ffggddss I don't think that is tone. Tone is just the frequency range of the sound that you hear, and timbre is the difference that the sound that another person makes (such as 2 person say at the same tone, but one is less airy, and one is too airy). I don't think there's a tone deaf person, they just have different receptor as normal people. They could sing and know notes as any other person could do, but they just need to practice to transpose it in their head (they know the gain of the frequency that they hear, but can't transmit normally like normal people would do).

I've been told my whole life that I play the piano by ear. I took classical piano lessons from 4yrs old until I was about 16 or 17. I played in things such as SC Guild as well. I also learned to play other instruments like the Flute, Piccolo, and Guitar. I took this test and got all 15 questions correct! The reason I'm telling you this is because I am almost 50yrs old and haven't played in awhile, and was curious to find out how many of your questions i would get right and well, I got all 15 correct😮❤ I decided to sit down and see what I still remembered, and it was like riding a bike! After about 10 minutes, I was playing my favorites and it felt soooo amazing!!!❤ So, Thank you for the reminder❤

@k8marlowe Месяц назад

What a great idea for content! As a child, I struggled with undiagnosed ADHD which made it very difficult for me to learn to read music. I was too young to recognize that others did not struggle in the same way. So, I would have my piano teacher play the music for me and then go home and work it out until it sounded right. In fact, I never learned to “sight-read” music, but I did go on to play the cello and sing, along with play the piano. This test confirms what I was told: 15/15, and it just made my day. Thank you!

@sendtothisone Месяц назад

I'm the opposite with my ADHD. I can figure it out from sheet music and practice, but struggle more to play by ear. And don't ask me to learn a song from the radio! 😅

@carolinesanderson5950 Месяц назад

Oh wow, had similar struggles & yep was never any good at sight reading. Now it makes sense why I found that so difficult. I also had to do what you did & just experiment with different notes until it sounded right. I’m really out of practice on the piano now…can still play if I have the sheet music & used to know the song but even tho I know where to place my hands, if someone pointed to a note on the sheet & asked me to name it, apart from those close to middle C, I couldn’t. I learnt up to grade 6 but haven’t retained it. It’s so bizarre, it’s like subconsciously I still can read music & my hands know what to do but on a conscious level, it may as well be a beginner in terms of reading the music.

@pointlesswasteoftime 10 дней назад

I had the same issue. Undiagnosed autism and ADHD, but still made it to first chair clarinet by memorising the score. I could sight read, but the processing delay of look, read, then remember the physical way to play the note, then look, and read, going back and forwards from abstract concept (A, B, C etc) to the physical aspect of breath control, embouchure, and finger position was just too difficult. I couldn't learn scales either. Once I switched instruments and started teaching myself I pretty much abandoned traditional sheet music and worked with the physical and aural aspects. I write and compose with shapes, and visualise grids. Whatever works. There are no rules in music.

Imagine being able to hit every note perfectly and having the voice of an angel but the moment someone asks you to clap in rhythm, it's like you've never heard music in your life

@mitrikgaduk347 Год назад

Having perfect pitch and rhythm are two very different things. A lot of musicians, especially incredibly gifted ones still struggle at first with timing as it can be a bit difficult to get used to. A lot of people will do covers not just because it's fun and good practice but also because it can help getting their timing better. It's a lot harder however in certain genres though, especially those with off-beats, time signature changes, and syncopation flips. Mathcore is a total bitch as it has very little amount of "head bobbing". Actually, now that I think about it, if you want to help your rhythm, find a song you can sing to, but also head bob too. Obviously don't head bob AND sing at the same time, that's terrible for you, head bob to find the rhythm. I know you likely didn't need this help specifically, but I have heard similar stuff before, so I thought I'd give my thoughts.

While far from pitch perfect, I can completely relate to this feeling. When I was in high school back during the "Chorus Line" days, my choral directors always shook their heads and said something like "Beautiful voice, rhythm of a 3 legged cow." They often gave me my own choregography that limited the amount of dance movements I had to do to still look like (to the audience) that I was doing the same moves - fortunately being on the back row of the risers gave me the cover I needed. Wow - I sure miss those days!

@thurm64 Год назад

For number 9, I think the melody clashing really depends on what your musical background is - it sounded quite nice to me in the context of something like jazz

@VasiliyOgniov Год назад

This is 100% why I have failed this question. To be fair, jazz is a bit wacky in terms of, how to put it, "classical pleasantness". It is more, let's say, liberal towards this kind of stuff because it is based on sort of "dialogue" between instruments so it is ok that some will sound clashing with eachother yet it fits perfectly

@paulinoo2 Год назад

They are in my own voice because I can’t really sing in anybody else’s voice.

According to this test, I have “perfect pitch,” but in actuality, I just have good ear training (and relative pitch-I can always hear concert A in my head, and when I studied music in college for a bit, that’s what I used to base other notes for ear training and sight singing exercises). Perfect pitch is when you can pull any pitch out of a hat, which is what my husband has. I’m glad you’re still enjoying singing! Keep it up!

A lot of these post say don't listen to criticism and in the beginning I agree. If you love doing it, it's worth a shot. But after progressing and playing in front of people, especially other musicians, and you don't get a reaction from them, that's the tell. I have gone to open mic's over the years when people singing are tone deaf but get some applause, I think, because some of the audience is tone deaf too.

I wanted to mention, that the answers might be correct, (ABCcorrect) while the piano "could" be playing an "Octave" note, to the note being played ? Some singers and guitar students might answer wrongly, but based on their hearing the "Octave OF" the note in question; they would still be correct. Perhaps a NEW question to add to the list ? (Hearing octaves and harmonics?) And to be "displayed " in a different realm perhaps ?

@@lyndafayesmusic Hi, I know there should be something under it if I could understand in simple terms but I didn't quite get it why some singers and guitar students might on purpose answer wrongly... I am not musicaly educated but that (single as mentioned) played 2nd note indeed sounded lower... unless it was ment as some kind of tricky question (but not in this simple test, right?) no matter how you put in technical terms, you hear very clearly the sound of 2nd note as it would exactly sound if played on lower key on the keyboard...

@rustykoenig3566 Год назад

@@lyndafayesmusic Actually, Question 3 there is only one correct answer. The note is either the same note being played or is higher or lower than the first note. If you tune your A string to an A that is an octive lower is your A string correctly tuned? Nope... there is only ONE correct note to tune your A string too... (disregarding the fact there are multiple tuning styles depending on the group you are playing with... but that's another discussion completely lol). The octive ranges you are talking about is covered by later questions on the "test". The ones that play something then play a note 5 seconds later and ask if it "jives with" or "clashes with" the scale or chord... that is where you determine if its part of that "group" or if it's an "outsider" note. I missed the one that asked if the last note was repeated or not repeated... In my head I was thinking it either repeated the last note of the 7 first notes or not... and not thinking about if it matched any of the 7 notes... The chords/octives "realm" your talking about was indeed covered. I missed #6 because the note sounded a little sharp to fit with the chord played to me. So 1 missed and one missed due to misunderstanding the question. As for singing... I do EVERYONE a favor and save their ears... I have listened to myself in played back recordings... and I am not one of those people who think they sound good but can't carry a note whatsoever!! lol. My violin is my "voice' and it does the singing for me :)

@@JoeyIndolos none of this was jazzy enough to be truly considered dissonance in my book 😂 oh well. Theoretically speaking dissonance isn't a hard yes or no, more of a spectrum I guess. A major 7th/minor 2nd interval is dissonant, stack some thirds on that bad boi and you've got a major 7th chord which is nice and open and sounding consonant with itself... But it still contains dissonance. Taking it even further: playing a major 3d on an average piano is already dissonant - pianos aren't really as in tune as you might think lol

If you listen to music you're not tone deaf. I think many people are being called that just because they are not natural singers and have trouble controlling their voice, making them bad singers. This has nothing to do with being able to differentiate between notes, it's a lack of skill producing the right pitch with your voice. Pick up a Piano/Keyboard and explore, it's never too late and it's a great exorcise keeping the brain young

@bpiazza 11 месяцев назад

Graham, same for me. In elementary school, our music teacher was Mrs. English. That was the beginning of the end. Then, because I was not trained to use my vocal chords, I gave up trying. But I was good at lipsinging. And I just scored a 14. And have practiced singing along to music for decades now. I'm almost 70 and think it's about time I learn to play an instrument.

@VirtualTrucker74 Год назад

I thought I'd score somewhere around average but kinda surprised I got them all correct. Side note, when I was in school (over thirty years ago), I was studying for my music exam. There were only about 12 of us who was taking the exam but we had a really good teacher. We'd had the same teacher for the entire five years and we'd all worked our backsides off to get to where we were. So, we get to our final year, heads down, instruments tuned to perfection and a class where everyone got along, studied every chance we got and even hit our local library to do some extended research. Seven months in to our preparations, tragedy strikes and our music teacher can't teach us anymore (he had a serious accident, survived but was unable to continue teaching). We heard the news at the weekend and all agreed to work even harder to pass our exam because we knew that passing meant just as much to him as it did to us. Monday afternoon, we're all outside the classroom and we're kind of excited to see who'll be replacing our music teacher. We were all buzzing when this kid walks up to us (honestly couldn't have been a day over 20), moves us to one side and unlocks the door. Ok, someone's sent him to grab some chairs or something. Nope. He walks in, drops his stuff by the front desk and invites us in to the room. We looked at each other confused and asked what he was doing. "I'm here to replace your old teacher" he replied. (Us) Oh! Okay. Do you want to see what we've been working on over the weekend? (Teacher) Nope, that won't be necessary. (Us) Will we be studying (insert name of composer here) then, If so I'd like to talk about how he did this particular thing (I can't remember what it was, it was over thirty years ago lol) (Teacher) Certainly not, I don't like the music or the style of teaching that your old teacher used. We're going to start everything from the beginning. (Us) But we've only got about three months before the final exam, how can we just drop everything we've worked on and start from scratch? (Teacher) Simple, you adapt. That's what musicians do. If you can't do that one simple thing then you're in the wrong class. Ok, fair enough. Musicians have to adapt. I agree with that. but this wasn't just like some random english or math exam. We'd been working on our own composition for over six months at this point. We'd created our own musical variation score in the style of four or five different composers and had done so in a way that almost felt like the composers were conversing with each other. The new teacher was having none of it though. He wanted us to drop and forget everything we'd done and learn Free Jazz. Yep, Jazz. Don't get me wrong, over the years we'd touched on the subject, discussed it a little in some of our lessons but none of us were prepared in any way shape or form to implement anything we'd learnt and we certainly wouldn't be able to condense everything that was needed in to a three month window. He didn't like our argument and completely refused to listen to reason. It was either his way or we walk out of the class, get an automatic fail and waste the years of work that we had put in. We walked. Every single one of us. We went to the head masters office (principle for the American readers) and asked if there was anything he could do but he sided with the teacher, said he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. We tried to reason with him, explained how we'd put years in to our work but it ultimately fell on deaf ears. We either walked and got an automatic fail or we'd have to take the upcoming exam and fail because we were ill equipped. We were disappointed would be an understatement. This was something which we'd put almost our entire school life in to. and to be told that we had to just drop it all and start from scratch was something we just wasn't prepared to do. We never returned to that class and yes automatically failed that exam. Passed all the rest with flying colours though. Sorry, I didn't realise how long this was going to be. I'll finish off by saying that I met our old music teacher a few years later in a cafe/diner. Turns out he'd been in a serious traffic accident and was in a coma for 6 or 7 months, lost the use of his legs and generally got himself pretty banged up. He heard about what had happened and agreed that we had made the correct choice and that in his eyes we'd all passed that exam. It was a small gesture but meant the world to me at the time.

That was an interesting test. I scored 14 out of 15, but I think it is more of a 11 out of 15, only because, the answers are predicable. I think you should come up with another test that has a few more questions for each section, and mix up the answers a little more. That way it becomes a little more difficult and a person can truly find out his skill level

@paulybeefs8588 Год назад

I mean, it's just a self test, not a test for competitive grades. I think the point is to be honest with yourself on what your reactionary answer would be, rather than deducing your answer knowing they'd likely give various examples (ie one of each) while immediately giving you the answers to the previous question as you go. There's not much to gain with these types of tests except knowing a little more about yourself. Even if you gave yourself credit for "passing" when you made unsure guesses that were correct or relied on deducing the simple logic behind the test instead of knowing the answer by hearing with your ears, you still have the option to be honest with yourself at the end.

@j.asmrgaming1228 Год назад

@@paulybeefs8588 the only problem with that is that brains are funny things and if there is an easy identifiable pattern it can cause you to be better/worse at something than what you were hoping to test. even if you aren't trying to compare yourself to others it's still more of an objective test if it isn't A,B,A,B,A,B.

@thenecrosanct4906 Год назад

@@j.asmrgaming1228 Exactly. And not only that, but it's very difficult to turn off pattern recognition in your brain. At least, for me it is. It just happens and once the pattern is confirmed it increases the chance to follow it. So cases of doubt could be "decided" by following the pattern instead of listening to the questions. One thing I can argue against this is that you actually need to have tone awareness to discover the pattern in the first place and confirm it as you progress down the list of questions (not for this test since the answers are given after every question, but tests in general). More questions in the same category could solve this. But also, not going for 2 possible answers but more. Or not wanting to use both examples. For instance, we could've had 2 questions about major/minor chords with both answers being major or minor, instead of wanting to use both; it is about tone awareness in general, after all, not the recognition of the relation of those tones (i.e. higher/lower, consonant/dissonant, etc.). So with 2 chord questions and both answers being major you would still test tone awareness as much as you would when one answer was major and the other minor. A combination of these would have made the test more challenging. My score was 14/15. The perfect pitch is what got me, since I don't have that. Anything less would have been highly disappointing for me.

My guess is that the notes or chords sound like they should follow each other. If the following note sounds jarring, then it's not a fit. What I don't get is that sometimes two things that don't fit together may actually be nice together. My only experience in art is with color and painting. In color theory, colors that are opposites or contrasting with each other may look really good together. So my confusion came from the idea that two contrasting things may actually fit together. It didn't sound like that in this video. In the video it sounded more like similar notes fit together.
