Relative Pitch: 10 Levels. Test and train yourself 

Same here. Don't give up! Tone deafness is absolutely curable. I speak from experience. I am not completely cured but I am way better than I was. I too could not identify most of these notes but with trial and error I could pick them up on the keyboard. ..

Not tone deaf. Just doesn't know the notes

tnx. you made me feel better about myself

that is definitely not tone deafness dude. i play like 8 instruments but i didn't get all of these right at all

In the first lvl. I got 7 notes right. From lvl. 2 on everything went to shit.

same.

Yeah, me too

ok

Am I the only one that does not have problems with them? To me the first level with the black keys seemed even easier than the previous ones... weird.

Riccardo Soldà you have perfect pitch

It sounds flat on some of the E. all of them that i thought were e flats were E natrual and i got confused

My piano i play on everyday is flat so it explains why i was able to figure them out easilly

Did you know Tibetan music is fretless. so they play in fractions of notes. Like E and a 1/4, E and an 1/8th...they could have like 60 notes in one octave. THAT would help you in Western music.

You know I thought the same thing too, I got most of part one wrong because of it, lol.

F sounds slightly E

Just Music THIS. its the on screen keyboard vs piano sound played first, I've never compared the software sounds so I hadn't noticed but there is a slight 'twinge' sound after the second key is played and I went wtf is that and then you realise the keyboard is flat...

Me 2

Oh thank god. I can't really tell, 'cause I am still learning hearing stuff by ear, intervals and such, but I would pause the video to figure out what interval the previous guessed note and the next you had to guess were apart, ya know, to figure out which note was next, and played it back several times and the note I had sung was a too sharp. I thought I was too sharp, but guess not

No wonder. Some notes would sound like the note a step below and the answer piano would show that I was incorrect even though I thought I picked the correct note.

That would explain why I was a half step off a few times

Honestly same

I mean, Kinda right tho

I play an F Mellophone so I guess C for me is F

Me 2 I play a B flat cornet so mostly if it is a F I say a G

Right XD

It doesn't matter at all, Unikey. I'm red/green colour-blind, and know that my sister can see much more detail and subtlety in the paintings I hang on my wall than I can. But I still enjoy them.

Unikey Gaming It's probably because you randomly came here and they are already interested and specifically looked it up

Unikey Gaming me too

Unikey Gaming you’re not the only one

Same bro

Haha lmaooo

lmao same 😹😹

Same

same here after I stuck with my first guess I was getting the majority correct

same

Same

same x5

Kittkat 267 Damn I felt that

I was searching for this comment! Me too!

@SacrilegiousRat same lol

I've listened to I Don't Love you and I can recognize every F note

lmfao every time

same I also was only whole or half steps off when I was wrong but capped off in level 8. 9 was a nightmare.

Back to school, or the neurologist's office for me. The three or four notes I got wrong were always off by a minor third (or augmented second, if you prefer). I think that's weirder (and actually quite disturbing). Cancel my earlier comment, obviously.

sammmeeee

What does it for me is that I'm perfectly trained in pitch and the piano yet I get it slightly wrong as I keep thinking that it goes up in scale like C4 to C5 or D4 to D5 instead of just sticking to the same scale of C4 to C5. Not to mention, the delay really throws you off.

Same!!

That's honestly super cool! I never thought about how synesthesia could relate with relative or perfect pitch, but it makes sense!

You said you had perfect pitch in another video make your mind up lmao

@@Alvis44 Since that point in time (in which I left this specific comment) I’ve trained myself further and I don’t mess up on any of the notes anymore. Self-taught perfect pitch, I wholeheartedly advocate that such a thing is real, mind is made up. Other comments came to exist after my achievement.

@@sophiaredwood5825 well it sounds like you already had the initial potential to have perfect pitch. For people who dont hear sounds in colors they cant overtime just develop perfect pitch. Scientifically impossible its proven.

@@Alvis44 Ngl, I have been wondering about this too. I find it plausible that I might be more predisposed than most people to learn perfect pitch. Apparently my grandfather was naturally brilliant with music, so it might be genetic. At the same time, I personally feel as if it’s not impossible for other people - just probably much more difficult. I think everyone has a natural level of pitch recognition and then they’d just have to work from there. A bit random, but if you’ve ever heard of MCR’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” there’s an intro note to the song (G key on the piano) that thousands upon thousands of fans recognize instantly. (I personally don’t listen to MCR, but once I heard about this specific phenomenon, I got curious enough to look into the song.) Apparently, so I’ve heard, you could strike the G5 key in front of a fan and their mind will automatically make the association. It’s so common that people in the community call it being G-noted. They hear the note and know immediately it’s the beginning of that song, know immediately that it’s a G. Of course, someone like me sees that and goes, “Anyone can do it then.” Which might sound like a bit of a stretch, because, well, it’s one note in one octave. But funnily enough, G5 was my very first note, too (not with that specific song, but I digress). The way I taught myself perfect pitch involved taking different songs and finding target notes within them - memorable notes, ones I knew so well that I couldn’t mix up if I tried. And then I would listen for those notes in the real world or in other songs. It wasn’t me pausing my music and going, “Is that a C#?” but instead, me going “Is that the first sung note of Dear Theodosia?” and then listening to the same section over and over until I figured out the answer. Then eventually, I got so good at building the association between unnamed note + Dear Theodosia = C# that I eventually didn’t even have to go into that second layer. I just went, unnamed note = C#. The same way MCR fans can hear a G5 and know it’s a G without even having to really think about Welcome to the Black Parade. Anyway yeah, that’s my theory. Not totally credible, I know. I’ll still back it up with everything in me. I won’t lie, synesthesia and naturally good pitch did help me on my journey learning perfect pitch. (Actually, learning perfect pitch was so straightforward for me that for the majority of that journey, I had no clue that that was what I was actually doing; I was under the impression that ALL aspiring musicians taught themselves what I was teaching myself and that it was fairly common.) That being said I don’t want to outright restrict anyone else from making the same journey. I believe that learning perfect pitch isn’t fully impossible for anyone. I think of it a lot like learning a language, honestly. It involves quite a bit of translating into another, “first” language that you can understand when you’re starting out. And then the more comfortable you get, the less translating you need to do, and then eventually after years of work it becomes a universe of its own in your mind and that first language isn’t a factor in that second language anymore. (I haven’t successfully learned an actual language before, so take that with a grain of salt. But I can guess that’s how it feels.) I guess it’s just whether or not it’s worth it to spend years upon years training perfect pitch rather than just learning relative pitch or getting good at reading sheet music. At the end of the day, it’s not the biggest deal anyway. Still, that’s my take.

Thank you. Train more and re-visit this video to see if there is any change

A honest man

cheater.......lmfao

Great idea 😂 💡

I did that too lmao

Really?

@@LucasHenrique-wg4ny :Djust kidding:) i found one at level 2 .the "C" note

You gotta work on it before testing yourself lol

Lol

Hahaha just practice you Vans do it

That's because of the atonality that's introduced on level 6. C pretty much loses its role as tonic.

Yeah i literally just know the song "do re me" of "the sound of music" and it starts on C and has been stuck in my head for years so i remember it lol. Give it a try it might work for you too

After like lv7 I still manage to only miss 3-4 but I hear the tonals B and D.

As someone who did really well on this, after you lose the tonal center of C you need to toss it out the window and focus on what the relationship of the last note you heard and the new note you are hearing to figure out the current notes pitch. I found that sometimes one note after another in around level 7 or 8 there would just be certain chords played like b flat minor. Levels 9 and 10 i think are more like random notes and i struggled more on these but still did really well

that works for me, I hear the syllable

Lucky. I'm jealous

Yeah, lol. I guess we're sort of cheating.

@@mayap8191 thank you for being one of the reasons we can brag about having perfect pitch :) in real life though, it can become annoying as you can't hear anything without hearing your inner voice screaming the name of that note, so don't worry, you're not missing out that much

I can pitch C but nothing else fuck

Same that's why I clicked on this video. Perfect pitch is nice

How did you train? I have a bad ear and I'm looking to fix that.

@@shaharsaydof5045 u cant develop perfect pitch if ur over like 5 years old tragically

@@shaharsaydof5045 you have relative pitch because you practised those notes, and use one reference (whatever it is) to tell the pitch of the notes relative to the reference sound you hear or memorize in your head. Perfect pitch can only be developed when you are a little child, and with it you are able to instantly and instinctively tell the pitch of any sound (not just the piano), without using any references you hear or that you may have memorized by practising (like you do in relative pitch).

@@shaharsaydof5045 Yes, you think you aren't using any reference but you started off with a reference sound and that memory is stored subconsciously in your brain without you realising. You will probably forget, or have to hear it again, if you stop practising for a very long period of time. Also, since you trained yourself and throughout you playing or practising, you probably heard several notes played, so that helps your brain with memorizing reference sounds and patterns. If you can go and tap any object other than an instrument (e.g. with a pen) that can make a sound and you are able to instinctively tell the correct pitch absolutely instantly to more-less the correct cents, then you would have perfect pitch. If you can do that instantly with any sound (even if you have not heard it before), and without using a reference sound, then you have perfect pitch

@@shaharsaydof5045 take a look at a video with Charlie puth where they test his perfect pitch using several different sounds that aren't made by instruments, and he is able to tell the correct pitch, even if it's slightly off/ detuned - instantly and without using a reference sound

Uou can't develop perfect pitch after6 years old😒

@@sarahhamdan5470 yes u can. Im learning rn. And ive made progress

@@SasukeUchiha-ss8lb I actually started learning how to play piano ,and I must sah, I have seen some progress too...

I was 6 months old when I discovered Hawking’s Brief History of Time(it’s a bore with basic sentient logic but it seems to excite you little creatures), wrote my doctorate dissertation on the self-dual monistic nature of hemispheric transfers along the corpus callosum at age 2, created topological 4D objects using E8 Lattice’s implementation on quantum particles and spare NASA quantum computers at age 8, discovered a new bound of philosophy and science known as Reality Theory(which maps the deterministic nature of reality and our perception on a metaphysical level) at age 12, owned 78% of the international monetary supply at age 18,but I don’t have perfect pitch 😡😡 life is unfair sometimes

Nay Tro don’t care

same

That's good enough there are some people who guess way off

That's usually what happens with relative pitch /: I thought a note was c and it was a g once..

The keyboards a bit flat thats why

Yeah same ;-;

SAMEEEE

Same

@@phatxity9948 I can get them from c to g but a and b I never get

@@lucasdominichini3095 from 1 month of ear training i fixed the problem

Thanc you for your contributions

i think we teach music kind of backwards in the way we do language and this method is probably more natural for a lot of people

Kris Tovar Relative pitchers, _unite_!

If you got them all right you do have perfect pitch, I only made it to level 2 tho

AnAmericanComposer - every time I was wrong (three or four times), I was a whole minor third wrong, never a tone or semitone. That can't be good. Incipient senility, I suppose. I hope your work on the "futurists" is going well; rather you than me (:

Kris Tovar same here

@@char3509 it's a matter of ear training not perfect pitch

hey whats your progress now? can you play songs by ear?

@@trishnav6516 i haven’t been as focused on music theory to be honest so no! however i’m now obsessed with drums and i’m taking lessons and so i’m gonna try to get back into theory somewhat

@@billiea9756 yeah do whatever makes you happy dude♥️

Yessss...how are you doing now? I'm just starting out...any suggestions?

Did u ever get better

Beth Woods its not a matter of cleverness. Its not easy to guess notes.

It just takes practice. U got tho

Most humble conservatory snob:

how did it go?

petre Tepner yeah I wondered that too. I guess it just gets hard if you have to single out notes from chords, as in ugly chords rather than normal tonic chords. I’m 100% sure that would kill me

Almost everyone has relative pitch, yeah. Not sure about tone deaf people tho. But like, people who never spent a day in their life making music, or learning theory, or whatever, can definitely not tell the exact distance between notes and such. I guess I don't quite get what's leaving you puzzled. Relative pitch is something you have to train.

Saying someone "has relative pitch" is a weird statement, maybe that's what this is about? Mostly when people say someone has relative pitch, they mean trained or developed relative aka being able to identify a note by hearing a reference note. But yeah, everyone has relative pitch, or everyone (I think) can develop (trained) relative pitch.

Jon C, think you mean terrible. Death is horrible. My hearing is terrible. Peace!

Luke Day You are correct, terrible is the right word. Thanks!

same I can't get a single one correct

I'm completely tone deaf like I've played the piano for like 4 years and I barely passed the first level lol

@@subliminalslove612 its time to find something different to play with ,if you played piano and u cannot pass level 1

@Akenzie its relative pitch

Peachy i know the difference tho , trust . if i have to think about it or relate it to a different note i hear in my head , i know im using relative pitch . but without a thought in my head i can identify the natural notes , using "perfect pitch". im weird help 😅😂

Akenzie Nah you aren’t weird don’t stress about it. Practice makes perfect lol.

Akenzie Idk, Maybe its like an advanced relative pitch or sorta downgraded absolute pitch. Usually people develop perfect pitch at super young ages just look at all those 3 year old prodigies 😭 since you started at 9-11 yrs old you might have absolute pitch bc it can be sorta learned by some older kids and adults. its when u can tell what the absolute pitch of something is but not necessarily recognize it instanty. You should try testing and take my words with a grain of salt.

Luna Pearl hi, how have you been working on it ?

You mean relative pitch. If you are one of the like 0.01% with perfect pitch you would be able to tell all of them without having heard any note before to relate it to.

niandralades Yes, but saying the letter in your head will help you remember the note name instead of just the position

If you can do it on the guitar, then you DO have a good ear. A singer would find some of those keyboard intervals frankly horrific. If you play guitar well, I don't believe you're just "guessing it"; you know what you're doing. Take the envy and jealousy of a mere keyboardist into account in reading this message.

You guess them probably using logic. I can improvise when I lock into a scale but obviously I lack ear training. That's why I am here.

A good singer or even any musician should be trying to do these without an instrument. That said, singing them out loud is important.

However I i feel revisiting this video will soon just become about memorising the order of the notes instead of the notes themselves

It's funny because all my life I've listened to music and tried to tap it out on my fingers guessing the relative pitch but never having been able to play any instruments or know music theory and only in the last few months (I am almost 40) have I bought a keyboard and actually tried to learn. I didn't even know this was a thing. I really though I'd be good at this based on what I think I hear but in reality it is SUPER HARD. I got most of level 1 and 2 (only missed a couple on each) but clearly I have anti-perfect-pitch, I am sure I know it then hit the key I think it is only to discover I was way off.

I find it frustrating when no one else realises that something is out of tune, to me it’s so obvious and it annoys me so much that no one else cares!

same haha. it’s a feeling of the notes having a really distinct and unique sound and then getting confused over whether how people cannot remember /identify a note . to me it’s just too easy and really recognisable

Panic! at the twenty one chemical boys I actually used that chord pattern in my head to identify level 9 LOL I would sing the notes relative to G in my head to identify them

? Why

Why is that linked with Beethoven?

@@catbellss6877 Because Beethoven -is- was a god at piano

Isaac Bolton ??? So was Mozart, Chopin, Wagner. What is so special about Beethoven

@@catbellss6877 That was probably just the first person he thought of that has relative pitch (and perfect pitch)

I play guitar and got 2 at 1st 3 at 2nd , then took a look a the comments, got sad , stopped the video.

Some few people have this skill since they are Born, they Just need to use it, but I think Most of the guys Sith good results learned a relative Pitch over the periode of some years. (I am 16 years, and Play since I am 5 different instruments, and I also sing often and try to improve in both. Now I have a very good relativ pitch and also some Kind of perfect pitch [I can identify most notes and can hear if the C isnt in tune, but thats still not a perfect pitch])

I'm a classically trained double bassist and composer (playing for 7½ years, and writing for 7), and I got a total of 8 of these wrong. It's okay to not have as many of these right as the rest of us.

I do play the guitar, I’ve been playing it for 2 years, I got about like 6 right in the first level lol. I kept on guessing a note down, which was annoying.

I am a piano musician of 7 years. I never compose lol. I just read music sheets and play it with right tempo. Guess what? My music teacher said I am tone deaf and it's real lol. I exist. I can't sing well because of that, thats why i choose to play an instrument instead

lol same

Play an instrument

If you haven’t had any musical training (instrument or singing) then no. But a small keyboard of you want to get good at this for some reason.

same... i play guitar and uke and i feel like i should actually be worried

Ren Klein Wow that's interesting, thanks for the info!

Gavin Liuranium I believe that it is possible to memorize pitches. I can name any note played on the piano (my main instrument) and sing any note if I think of playing that note in my head. However, I couldn’t do that two years ago. It wasn’t until I really started listening to the notes as separate things than pieces in a song.

Ren Klein that’s how my brain works? interesting :D

kookoo not if you compare yourself to someone with perfect pitch

A YEAR LATER I GOT THEM ALL CORRECT YEAHH IVE GOT PERFECT PITCH

SavingPrivateDick has

me too :/
