7.5 MILLION PEOPLE saw this?! I am truly shocked that this video had such a big impact... You'd be even more shocked to find out that I am the ONLY person in the world creating virtual earthquake simulations on TH-cam. Ever wondered how a building would collapse in an earthquake on all 9 PLANETS? Watch my video to find out and let's get to know each other! ❤

It was a cool test. Much better than math. lol
Thank you for this video :) I like the piano. I got every question, up until #13. I am not very familiar with the whole resolution thing! 😅 but fun :)
I got 13 answers right , I screwed -up the last two. It was interesting though , thank you!
I missed the last question, # 15
I play no instruments at all but got a 15 score
A professor at conservatory said, “if you can tell one persons voice from another, you are not tone deaf.”
after that, the professor was fired? 😅
Disagree.
Different voices tend to have different tone quality, even when voicing the same tone. A tone-deaf person could distinguish voices on the basis of tone quality.
Fred
Dam i am tone deaf then
@@ffggddss Spot on, Fred!
@@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).
The fact that most questions come in pairs with alternating answers makes this test much easier than it should be
Something tells me that you''ll be okay eventually.
the point is to answer honestly, not to cheat the system
People are bitching at you, but you're right. No multiple choice test should have answers come in easily recogniseable patterns. However honest you might want to be, that's going to throw you off.
@@lilsmokey5553 the point is that he happened to notice an obvious pattern, not that he was trying cheat the system
@@lilsmokey5553it’s called pattern recognition dog
Thank you. I missed two, 8 & 10. When I was a child my mother told me to stop singing, that I was tone deaf. So I would only sing when by myself, or softly during hymns at church. About fifteen years ago a couple of music teachers in church talked me into joining our choir and now I love singing. Peeps, don’t ever say to your child not to sing!
Wow, same with my mom, sorry you’ve had to experience that because I still love singing. My grandma though told me I could sing at the top of my lungs in church because God would like that so I did sing really loud in church! After that I just sang with every song and in the shower, in the car and one day, my brain said, “write some songs”….so I got my Moms 2006 computer with garageband and put some poems together with some GarageBand arrangements and I have Arranged/written over 100 songs. They are in my own voice because I can’t really sing in anybody else’s voice. But singing is a form of ecstasy and release at the same time one day I might be brave enough to share my songs with the world, because they really came from nowhere. I was always told I was tone deaf. but I pass this test. I hope you keep on singing.❤❤❤
@@studio107bgallery4 thank you so much for sharing.
That's such a horrible thing to say to anyone let alone your child!!
I’m sorry your mom said that! I was very fortunate to have a mother who recognized if I was flat or sharp and tried to correct me. It taught me how to listen for the note before singing/playing (as I now play the flute).
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!
I have an italian neighbour, she loves to sing christian songs.
But her voice is ear piercing and she has no control over it. Kinda sounds like a cat being skinned alive.
Any advice on how to convince her to stop?
I got all but #13 right. Your description of "answer" or "question" made me a little confused, to me it was more like the notes were either "finished" or "waiting" for more. I do play the piano and this was very interesting. I have had friends, when I was younger, able to tell you exactly what note was pressed on a piano without looking. I never have been able to do that, so felt like I just didn't have the talent that was needed. I was surprised that I got most right. Thank you
Same. 13 was a stumper. I wondered if it had to do with vocal dialect.
Same for me. The melody calls for continuation to my Slavic ear.
they were basically higher or lower
Same
I got them all except 14 and 15 . I was surprised lol 🙂
the dissonance question is really hard for musicians because even the notes that "clash" with the chord could still fit if they exist within the right context of a progression
Yep. I found the dissonance questions a little too basic, verging on ‘I’m right, your wrong because I’ve just got my degree and know it all and what would you know”? Vs me with over 50 years music experience thinking, hmm, this dissonance will fit with this, already creating the music in my mind. Arrogance of youth vs arrogance of varied and multiple experience 😂
was easy for me
Jazz musician: "everything fits together"
@@Dharma_Bum Exactly, where I heard the supposed dissonance I filled in the missing context and pretext automatically in my mind and it sounded good 😅😂
@@Dharma_Bum Well I dont have like a lot of musical experience but as I see it, just because something clashes does not mean it cant be used together. In fact knowing that it clashes makes it possible for you to use it in specific ways together to create a specific effect. That, however, does not change the fact that it clashes. It's like certain colours clash with each other but if used correctly in a panting together, that clash gives definition to the painting. Note this is only my ignorant ideas. I do not have a music degree or years of experience, merely love listening to music and writing
Got 14 out of 15. Ears still working good at age 73. Fun test!
Whoa that is gifted.
Nice going sir!
Im 73 in april got 14 of 15 correct..i was too quick on 15 if i would have slowed down a little i would have got it right. Good to know we are not ready for the home...lol im thinking about doing busking around the country.
ears still working but not for long
we might have accidentally swapt our hearing. I'm 15 and have the hearing of a 70 year old. Can I have good hearing back again?😊
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!
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! 😅
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.
The last question was the only difficult one for me!
Thanks for sharing your skills🎶❤
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
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.
@@mitrikgaduk347 Especially when you are playing 2 different rythums at the same time!
@@andrew3790 Exactly,.. & When You're doing this on two different instruments, it's enough to make your head "bob" in the wrong chord . . ! 😅
Ask a drummer
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!
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
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
Yes it's a classical ear, in jazz you hear à lot of "resolution" that are in fact enigmas or questions, jazz leaves it open.
Agree.
I also agree, although I did get the answer right in the limited context. If there were another note or two that followed, I think it would have more obvious. 😎👍🏻
Most of the questions were based on pure fact, I think that 9, 13, and 14 and possibly 12 had an element of opinion involved.
I missed the last one. Thank you! That was fun!😊
Me too!
It's nice to get confidence back that at 67, I still have the ability to hear music well, I spent 30 years in Choirs and as an acapella singer, sweet Adeline singer and was gifted with perfect pitch. Haven't sang much the last 25 years, so this reminded me of my music classes in high school and college so thanks for the memories!!
I’m a deaf musician. I can’t identify notes, key or chords by ear but I’m having so much fun playing bass guitar and jamming with friends in a band.
Did you see the deaf woman on the voice the other day? She was born both deaf and with perfect pitch. She sang and two chairs turned for her. She sounded very good, but my brain still does not understand how this is possible.
@@stevenbastien9028 That’s a very hard thing to do - sing on pitch if you’re deaf. I don’t know how she does it and I have nothing but respect for her.
how do you keep time? do you use the feel of the vibrations much? or just notice visual cues from the band?
I'm losing my high frequency hearing (down to about 2.5kHz now so can't hear a lot of speech) and am thinking of taking up the bass!
@@stevenbastien9028 can't tell that she is 100% deaf. Beethoven was deaf at his old age, but didn't when he was young. Maybe this is the case for her, or maybe she had bone conduction device so she could hear with the vibration of the bone
As someone who was told "you are tone deaf" by my piano teacher as a child, I was very happy with 13 out of 15. Thank you. 😊❤
I have the same result and the same problem in my own childhood)
In fact all except 15 are quite easy for an average person with average experience hearing different music.
And are very easy for any person with some experience playing any instrument.
@@lukask7445mhm yup it was way easier cuz I play guitar and it was sooo easy for me😂
I don’t know how and I didn’t guess but I got 15 correct as well as every other question and now I’m scared of myself
Aggree😂😂
I got all of them correct except the last one. I would like to share a short story: when staying with my sister and her husband it was my nephew's birthday and from another room I heard my brother-in-law singing VERY LOUDLY the happy birthday so -- but WILDLY off-key and really crazy sounding yet filled with enthusiasm. I asked my sister why he sang it like that and she said, "He is tone deaf." I thought that was SO SWEET that hey sang so loudly and proudly out of love, not worrying about how he sounded. I wish I had a recording of that. (He is no longer with us.)
thanks mickael. very funny. I discovered I am a " musical genius " 15/15. 😮
you made my day 😂
14/15, that last question tripped me up. It's particularly brutal because you need to ideally hold all 7 tones constant in your mind and then be able to quickly assess whether the new tone is one of them. I think most musicians struggle to hold more than four different tones in their head at once for longer than 5-10 seconds.
Same here!
The same here, it was tricky
Same!
That last question was really easy for me for some reason.
After reading your comment I dont feel so bad for missing just the last question. all the other ones were so easy I almost felt stupid for missing that last one.
I got the last one wrong. I never knew the difference between major and minor. Also, I feel like the "resolved" vs. "unresolved" really explains a lot of the satisfaction we get from music. Imagine how menacing and unsettling a song would be to listen to if it was all "unresolved" melodies.
I got everything right but the three questions about Resolved or unresolved.
@@nickdoeslife9531 80% = a good grade
Usually it would be, although if I'm correct - i'm not an expert in music theory - Teenage Dream by Katy Perry is a rare example of a pop song where the chords never resolve and there's constant tension - it's a testament to the amazing skills of the songwriters that they were able to craft a happy, summery sounding pop hit this way.
@@rickysteamboat8720 I'm gonna give that a listen on the way home. Thanks
I only missed #15 as well
14/15 This was really fun! Thanks for sharing the test.
This is great, but one thing is someone could lie to themselves easily because you basically just did one answer and the next one was the other answer that wasn’t picked before
I'm not done yet but I had to laugh at question number 7. Before I was like: I'm not a musician, how would I know what constitutes a clashing sound? Then the second note happened and it was immediately abundantly clear.
I had the same problem initially. After the second question about clashing, I understood what I was looking for. I understand it now!
Yeah this test is bullsh*t. Music is very contextual so to say the note objective clashes is nonsense.
Yeah, I got question 6 wrong because the note sounded like it clashed to me. Then the note in question 7 literally made my body shiver. Didn't have any problems distinguishing them after that!
It was discordant enough I gritted my teeth….
@@Jayhbentley You actually didn't get the 6 wrong. This is why this test is nonsense. When you combine the chord with the note you get a Minor Seventh chord, which is dissonant because of the seventh. And if notes do "clash" is entirely subjective, there is no right or wrong answer here.
Just watched this video. Wasn't sure I was musically gifted. Turns out that I am. New album out soon!
😂, we'll be waiting!
lol
😂❤
Same here! 15/15...not sure why i am not a rich and famous musician...🤔
😂
Missed #8. Music is allover in family, so surprised I missed. Thanks for the opportunity to test my ears at 78!
In pitch memory you played two notes that were the same but to my ear the second note was higher with only one listen, i think the note simply had a brighter release.
And on the final question the extra note played to me sounded one step lower than the final note of the sequence, again only on one listen.
I found your video a great example of what tonal awareness means and i thimk you did a great job of breaking it down to its simplest ideas.
I am not schooled in any music i just like to listen to music and pluck around on my guitar.
I found this little test fun, but as a lifelong pianist myself, sometimes I find sound resolution to be a bit subjective, though I know where you're coming from in terms of music theory. thanks for making such a cute video for non-musicians. maybe it will get more people interested in music theory, or at least picking up an instrument.
I missed only 2 answers and they both dealt with resolution so as someone who is not a musician I find this easy to believe.
I don't think a test based on theory is the right way to get people interested in playing an instrument. I think it does the opposite. It is trying to get the emotion out of the music.
@@SnaFubar_24well done , the first resolution is very subjective, I am not sure he is correct on the first one
@@hsyduddj the first one i missed was #11 and there was 1 more miss after that, I think 13 but icr
@@hsyduddj9 and 10 confused me. I got them both wrong. I’m not very musical but found the answers depend on your own instinct as to what clashes. Subjective in fact.
As a self taught guitarist I'm proud I got 14/15... the last was a bit tricky 😂
Yeah, I missed the last one too. But I am a horrible musician. It's very frustrating.
@@EdDunkle just comment. I repeated the last question wich was the only difficulty in this test.
The test is not progressive, and this guy... I mean I hate his voice. But hey, we having fun right? I guess I could have 15/15 (but unsure, I repeated the question.) ( cheating?)
He goes from supper easy to really hard on the last question. Ears needs training.
And i dislike this video.
Have a good day, 🤜🤛
im only piano grade 2 i got 14/15... i got one of the whatever assonance and the thingy(sry idk whatever that is) wrong but thyen i got the second one correct cause the first one i just dont know what that it. The last qn surprisingly got it right. is that good enough?
@@EdDunkle don't say that keep the good work and keep practicing and you will be way better 🎶🖤🎸
@user-hr8zo6tj5q I'm proud of what you got and this is really more than the average so well done buddy keep it up and good luck with your journey 🎶🎸🖤
Missed the last one but I rushed through it thinking it would be easy. I should have replayed it and dome my usual mental "diagnosis" and I believe I would have got it right. Thanks for making this video!
I learned a lot from this test and managed to only get the last one wrong. I have always classed myself as tone def because I can’t tell the difference between people voices on recordings if they have the same accent. I’m pretty mad at making melodies tho. I pretty much got my whole music class through their melody making exam by making each persons bars for them to recite before they went in for the exam. Teacher called me behind after class and I thought I would be busted for cheating but she said I was talented and encouraged me. So even tho your tone def like me, you can still be in the music scene. I wish I had of listened and learned an instrument other than keyboard and drums. But drums and freaking cool and a good work out 💪. Now I need to make a bunch of songs for a project. I’m super excited to know I’m not melodically tone def. Thanks for the lesson and test creator! I hope my feedback helps you help other people. You are so smart to have worked this out yourself.
14 out of 15, and I feel like I learned more taking the test than I did in several music theory classes.
got the exact same score, and same here
Same here 14/15 tried to answer truthfully, thought I was borderline tone deaf.
14 of 15...missed #11 it didn't sound sad to me. Maybe that's why my favorite guitar chords is E-minor....or maybe it's because that chord is so easy to play😊
I only missed #15
@@SynergyAVE same, and I am so bitter about it...
Had trouble with the last one, that's all. Nice little exercise.
Same here😂
Same
Same that last one got me
Same me
Never took a music class or even attempted to pick up an instrument got the first 14 right then the last one got me :)
This was fun. I am not musical at all, but I learned a lot. And I got a little more confidence in myself. I missed two, but that's a heck of a lot better than I expected to do!
Got everything right except the final question. I can hang with that. 🌹🎼
I was trying to teach a 9 year old to sing. She couldn't carry a note in a bucket. I sang a note to her for her to sing back. She sang a tone way too low. I said "Higher! Higher!" She stood 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. But they like other aspects, the singer's vibe, clothes or whatever. And they walk away feeling like a rock star. Which is good for them, but not so much for open mic's.
I tried teaching my fiancee guitar and singing. Her Waterloo was "When the Saints To Marching In"; she'd always sing a lower harmony part, and couldn't tell the difference. I think it fit her voice range better.
But no matter. We moved on to bigger things and have been together over 50 years.
@@roytee3127 she can still sing though. just not in the traditional way maybe. But as long as it sounds good, it is good. Even if she can't understand and replicate what she is hearing, as long as she can make her own, original music that sounds good, even if it isn't 'traditional'
just because some kids do act dumb, it doesn't mean they're not smart really ... in fact, they may as well be VERY smart when interpreting 'badly composed' questions quite literally, thus responding accordingly because it's just like computers: if we input garbage in, we can't expect the machine to not output garbage too!
as a mature and experienced adult, you have to be very careful of the next child you may actually discourage from learning music the right way simply because you fail to realize the correct way most questions should be asked of different people! in fact, we may have to form the same question in many different ways depending on what child we're dealing with ...
@@dadautube Very much agreed~
15 - it gave me confidence - music is my favorite thing in the world, but in all my 76 years I never had enough discipline to learn an instrument.
Exactly the same on all counts but age.
Maybe the organ, before fingers rigor mort.
I agree with you!!
start now...
Never too late
You should have, I play a clarinet, and being in a band was the best decision I've ever made.
❤ 😊 ❤ good morning I took this test and I missed the last two I really enjoyed that give us another test and keep on playing
Really loved this test. Leads do more. Subscribing to your channel. You’ve inspired me to dust off the piano 🎹 & play again even if I get really frustrated by how rusty I am. I miss playing.
i got 14/15. The last one tripped me up. This was very insightful because I normally find music so intimidating. Its so reassuring to know that I'm not as bad as I thought I once was
Lmao same. I really thought it was different than the 7 notes
It was the second note of the sequence
@@AD-to3bm i still cant identify it
14/15 last one wrong
@@AD-to3bm the forth actually, but it is hard to distinguish.
Tone deafness in singing is something completely different than in music recognition. Many musicians can recognize and even predict chord progressions while improvising or soloing, however cannot "carry a tune in a bucket".
or get the intervals perfect but the notes are wrong or off
That's ME!!
Frankie Valli is tone deaf, and it never hurt his career!
14/15 and yes that's me and that is why I am not a musician or a singer hahaha
I LOOOOOOOOVE music a bit too much but I cannot sing, not even for a joke..
15/15. I can play anything that requires breath, but I hurt my own ears singing in the shower. 😂😂
15 /15 . Nice one. Thank you!
13, 14 and 15. I may not have got the concept for 13, 14. My child walked in too, oh well. I've never had a formal lesson in music or singing but have a "feel." Perhaps I know more than I thought. Thanks for this exercise. I'd love to do another
As a drummer for my church who is very insecure with his musical abilities, I scored a perfect 15/15 on this test. Much thanks for this test which helped me reassure myself that I am in fact capable!
Keep it bro ! Much love
As long as you need others (or tests) to find your securities, you still have a long path to go.
@@computerjantje thanks bro I really needed that 👍
Drummer insercurity do be real i gotchu g
@@TorrentStudiosas a guitar, piano player I too got all right but I know I suck a rhythm... so , this test is definitely not for a drummer 😔😔
Though having severe tinnitus I was able to get 12 correct ! Those three million crickets all singing in harmony can really do a job on your hearing !
Hey, I got the same, but I've been told I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. It doesn't bother me though, I know I can't sing
Same here! I have suffered from severe tinnitus for over 50 years. USAF 1965-1969.
I will take 12 and be happy. 😊
I have tinnitus too and got 14 correct. I was once a musician...
12 here. I may have recognized a pattern of responses for 10 and 14...and went against the pattern - in all examples where there were two choices, one was A and the other was B. I...struggled with these two, thinking...it can't be so simple, one pair must be AA or BB...
I have experience designing tests and evaluation...don't know if I overthought this or not, lol.
But great experience!
The crickets
And the sound of a humming motor for me…people think am hard of hearing but it is really this constant background noise! Waiting for a cure…
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❤
How fun!!! I love to listen to music, and I have always been curious as to why certain sounds go together. I wondered how I could hate the way one person sounds singing a song but someone else singing the same song but in a different arrangement and love it. I can’t play music, but in college for one of my humanities credits I took a music appreciation class. And while I don’t retain any of the formal lessons, I did learn how to open my mind to different music styles and that has stayed 30 odd years since.
I thought I was tone deaf due to my off tone singing. After scoring 14/15, I realized I was singing out of my range! I sound great when I sing opera.
Singing AND Hearing in ones "comfortable realm" is very important.
This is an excellent video for people who think they might be "tone deaf", but in regard to Question 3... 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 ?
As a violinist who enjoyed singing too, I got trapped in the "Oh, you must sing opera" realm....and fought it fiercely!
Hope you enjoy " Opera at it's Worst!" You Tube
Being a strong alto,with love for hearing "some" types of opera -such as Sarah Brightman (not the skreetching high sopranos,ha !
it was with great consternation I convinced the classical guitarist in Italy to go along with it!)

Most people are not tone deaf. Very few people are tone deaf but people who are not musicians don't realize they are not tone deaf.
@@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...
@@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 :)

As a drummer for over 50 years now
15 out of 15. Wow, I'm surprised . I can still hear. 😅
I’m a fellow drummer for 35 years. I’ve played metal music for 33 of those years and can’t believe I can still hear myself.
Q. What did the drummer get on his exams
A. Drool
😂😂😂😂
Q. Why do bands have bass players
A. To interpret for the drummer
😂😂
Q. How do you know if the stage is flat
A. The drummer has drool coming from both sides of his mouth
😂😂
Just kidding love our drummers ❤❤
@@danielmoore5503 you sound like our lead guitarist who has been threatened by my humble lead singer to have the neck of his Les Paul shoved up to where the sun doesn't shine. Of course this doesn't pertain to you, (unless you're a lead man like him, lol).
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Aww did the drummer come up with that by himself or did the bass player have to put it on the teleprompter. 🤣🤣🤣
@@danielmoore5503 My X is dating a bass player.. That reeeaaly makes me feel bad...
I've just discovered that I'm specially gifted for music. But I've always suspected it.
Thanks for this video and taking the time of making the test.
Regards!
Thanks for this test I did well and got two wrong so I'm pleased.
I never did music at school but started playing the ukulele when I was in my 50,s.
I completely self taught and am now 66 and would tell anyone just give it a go wether is an instrument or singing its really therapeautic.
15/15 As a grown adult I regret never taking any music lessons when I was younger. I’m now in my 40’s learning the guitar
Go for it and don't stop! You are never too old for music. I'm 66
I've been playing since 97 I was 18
Never been in a band but enjoy every minute...play the days away is life's answer
I'm 49 and thinking it's time to start! We've got this! (I got 13/15, but I bet I'd get those two with more training.)
I bet by now you've figured out that the technique part is harder than the music part.
You're never too old! I picked up my first guitar at 31. Am I any good 8 years later....meh, not really, but I still love to sing and strum all the same!
As a teacher, the answers had a pattern, most students will pass without actually knowing the right answers... But very refreshing to take this test... I couldn't understand tonality rest I could understand... Thanks for the test
I could also tell there was a pattern after taking the second question
i feel like for this example, the sharper higher pitch was used to be happy, the rounder lower pitch was made to be sad based on the scale.
He never repeated an answer. So if he gave one example first he would use the second one after. Every possible answer was given a chance to be shown. While interesting for people who don’t know, it was very easy to reassure myself before the next question. After question 5 I figured he was doing that and easily got 14/14 going into the last question. As long as you have a general idea of what was being presented it was easy to guess the first and cruise through the rest for each section.
@@TPITEOTG nah, it was very easy to notice even during the test. I mean, splitting it into multiple categories, 2 questions in each, and then making it that A is the answer to one of them and B is to the other is bad test making. the test was well made from the musical direction, but i legit just guessed correctly every question that i didnt know the answer to...
@@amitaish1055 I noticed there was a pattern but consciously denied myself arranging it because I was more compelled by the test than the score. But after getting my result (12/15) yeah it could use some livening up.
Cool! I got them all correct (pleased with that as an amateur singer). Now I am going to target some non-musician friends to see how they do. 😂
I'm definitely NOT an audiophile, having lost most of my hearing in one ear, but I've been very interested in music since I was very young. I got all of the questions on your test right except for the last one.
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
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.
@@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. It's still fun and I learned from it but as Michael said it could be better with more/varied answers.
You are not expected to predict answers, it is more about what you hear 🤷🏻♀️
@@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.
@@artforjoyofficial I understand that, I'm just pointing out a small flaw in the test that's all.
I think tone deafness is a term that gets overused a lot. It's actually extremely rare for someone to not be able to differentiate between two notes. Most people who think they are tone deaf most likely just struggle with simple harmonies.
Musicians sometimes like to bust other people down by calling them "tone deaf" when their own playing style is the real issue. They're sensitive. Just enjoy the music you like and let the pros worry about perfection.
My mommom used to try claiming that I was tone deaf because she was and said that I took after her. I think she was just jealous because it turns out I'm above average. I've also just started learning guitar, and my instructor is amazed at how quickly and well I'm picking it up. I'm 42 now. My sons are like me, it seems. My 9 yr old is learning ukulele, my 16 yr old guitar and my 15 yr old piano.
@@sykotikmommy My mother "sings" out of tune, deliberately, for laughs. She does have an ear for music but the running joke on her side of the family is "We're all tone deaf and proud of it." Many of my nephews and nieces play instruments quite capably. My own son does, too. Just run with the funny and never let anyone spoil the joke.
Just because a singer has difficulty matching pitches perfectly doesn’t always mean they are tone deaf.
@@sykotikmommy is ALWAYS our of jealousy believe me! I'm 42 too and been mostly torn down my whole life yet I just passed this test 💯
Not musically inclined whatsoever. Surprised myself by getting every question right. Thank you for sharing this, I found it enlightening and enjoyable.
I got all the questions right. I have been in music for 9 years despite only being 13. Some of the questions did make me nervous though. I really enjoyed the test 👍🏻
Nice quiz. I've been playing guitar for 7 years but still can't map what's in my head to the fretboard fast enough. However, 15/15 was scored on your cool quiz. You give me hope! Thanks!!
Same
I have been playing the clarinet for four years and I got a 13/15, this test made me sad (I somehow suck at realizing the tone in music still).
I got an 11, which is almost the midpoint of the above average range. As an amateur musician, I’ll take that 😀 Also, there might be some jazz musicians who’d get some answers different from yours. Those folks have different ideas of what is and isn’t dissonant 😄
That really has nothing to do with ear, and everything to do with knowing your instrument/fretboard. Keep practicing, learn modes, scales, and theory if you want total fretboard transparency.
@@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
I got 11 out of the 15 questions which surprised me pleasantly as I have very poor hearing and have bilateral hearing aids. I was always told I was tone deaf as a child and have never explored playing music. I am now 71 and listen to classical music daily. Thanks so much for the test.
this made me smile, i hope you have only good memories for the rest of your life!
Look at you go Graham! Very Inspiring, keep up the spirit :)
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
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.
Same 😂, I was told I was tone deaf and so never pursued a musical instrument even though I really wanted to. Also got 11/15 😊
Chapter 1: 3/3
Chapter 2: 2/2 (5/5 Total)
Chapter 3: 0/5 (5/10 Total)
Chapter 4: 2/2 (7/12 Total)
Chapter 5: 1/2 (8/14 Total)
Chapter 6: 1/1 (9/15 Total)
Given the 1 In Chapter 5 was a guess I did well in Pitch Recognition, Pitch Memory, Tonality and Maybe Perfect Pitch but there was only one and I dont think it is a great perfect Pitch test that would have been better in Pitch Memory so that still has Question Marks but I definitely did well in Pitch Recognition, Pitch Memory and Tonality. Harmony Awareness and Resolution Isnt great
Loved this thank you. My 'ancient mother' was an opera singer and in my opinion blessed with 3 tone deaf daughters🙄 -me being the youngest. Though secretly I want to learn to sing still one day and scoring13 (last 2 got me), is very encouraging...💃🎉 This was a fabulous test for us 'musical normies' to gauge our possibilities...🎉
I wouldn't consider myself musical at all, but I got 13 out of 15. I had trouble with questions 11 and 13. Yes, I found this useful. Thank you!
Same
Same, but for me it was 13 and definitely 15 that stumped me.
I missed 11 and 15.
Same.
@@waltofalltrades6817 yes me too
I'm not a musician or a singer. I just took this test because it popped up in my feed and looked like fun. I scored 13/15. I had a little difficulty with the major and minor questions. Thank You for this test. It was informative 😀
I'm so happy that you decided to take this test!! Greetings from Chicago! 😁
Yeah, I was no sure about 13 but knew the rest instantly including 11, 12 and 15. I think if I played it twice before continuing I might have gotten it. I too found 15 easy.
Interesting that you said 'Not a musician or singer.' We Singers are used to being considered 'Not Musicians' 😊
Exactly the same for me.
I was also 13 of 15. I had trouble with 7 and 8.
so happy with my 15/15 ! TYSM! subscribed!
Got 12/15. Great resource. Not able to answer correctly for the resolved and unresolved questions.
You didn't only test our hearing but our reading comprehension too 😂
Aaannd he tested if we can focus on one thing in this chaotic digital world lols..
And our patience too
@@maranathajesuskommtbald1089yeah, I messed up on one of the major/minor questions because I had the video on at 2x speed because the dude talked way too slowly, and then misheard the melody :(
I then went back in normal speed and heard it just fine.
i didbnt read it
For sure 😂
I got 14/15, that last one caught me off gaurd haha! But this test was fun!
Same
Same result, but the first one caught me off guard cause I wasn't paying attention 😅
@@gluttonyhoarder2940 I'm disappointed in your lack of discipline, young grasshopper!
same here, with absolutely NO instrument lessons 😀
Same
Got them all right, but I also kinda expected that I would, as I - as a child - Were teaching myself (simplified/playing with one finger you know) songs that I liked, which I had heard on the TV, like the title melody from the series North and South - yeah I'm THAT old lol - and so on, so I kinda know I have a good ears. never was allowed to take music lessons as a child, it was too expensive when I moved out, and then I became a mom and time was then the issue. Still love music though, and would love as well if you would challenge us with a harder test in the future :)
I missed 13 14 as I didn't quite understand what I was listening to in the time given. I was given a similar test in school when I was 8 & blew the teachers away. I'm 82 now and am still thankful I have excellent hearing. Music has always been a great part of my life. This was FUN...thank you for the test.
This was a cool test. I was called tone deaf as a child, but my musical mother wouldn’t give up on me and I eventually caught on. I love music and can even sing fairly well …..thanks Mom!
Same here!
My mother told me as a child that I was tone deaf so I never tried.... though I did learn to play piano but not by ear.
Love this comment!!😊my mom gave us the gift 🎁 of the love of music too! & to use our talents!
13 out of 15. That last one got me good. Harder to keep longer progressions in a 'loop' in my mind for comparison. Thanks for this test! I did better than I thought I would.
I got 11 of them correct. I swear that one melody resolved in my mind. Oh well. I wonder how much of this is up to interpretation over wrote rules.
The last question, the second tone is the first note in the first part
I put B for the last one, but immediately after writing it down and upon waiting for the correct answer I thought to myself "wait, was it like the first note?", shoulda paused and changed my answer but 13/15 is better than I was expecting
I got 13 out of 15 too. The last one got me good too as it was harder to keep it in a loop in my head as well.
@@snakeywakey3893 13 of 15 as well. 11 got me as I wasn't sure what I was listening for and 15 is tougher as it's not a simple progression and as you said not easy to keep that loop in your head on one hearing. Fun exercise though.
I very much enjoyed the test. I didnt miss any. What can to teach so i can play the violin in tune. Thank you
I found this educational. My answers were 100% correct. I was a singer as a child through college but was curious about this. Very enlightening. Thank you.
I love music but have always struggled with music theory, considering myself to be somewhere close to tone deaf. I got 13/15 and can only conclude that this is a 'feel good' test designed to give me an encouraging score! If so, thank you - it worked. :)
I consider myself tone deaf. I scored 9 and consider myself to be above average at guessing.
Exactly what I said. And I missed 2 as well ...13 and 15.
Same score bro xD
Not really. You yourself would only know if you answer it without guessing. I dont consider myself tone deaf, but I think im not hood at my listening skills. I scored 12/15 without guessing
same here. 13/15 and i have no musical talent
I got 13 out of 15. I realized that I got them wrong because I over thought the answers 😊 that was an interesting exercise! Thank you 😊
Same. I got 14 out of 15 but over thought one answer and changed it.
same here haha ( i was thinking in micro tones lol) if i didn't think it over i would have all correct✨
13/15 myself! 😁
13/15 here as well
I fell in the average category with a correct score of 12. No thought just intuitively hearing. I missed the clashing questions on numbers 7, 8 and 10
I did not get 13 & 14 ...I need to look into this.
A very interesting test. Thanks.
As a musician myself I'm glad to know that I got them all right. I wasn't sure that I would get the last one correct however because that was far more difficult than the rest. I just had to listen very close and concentrate.
I was a music major in college, and music teacher, church organist and choir accompanist. I missed #13 and #14. The idea of resolved or unresolved is very subjective. I see I am not alone. The construction of the test made it easy to guess the answers because the questions were in pairs, A, then B.
Agreed. I listened to it another ten times and I still think #13 and #14 are wrong.
#13 was tricky and I missed it, but after replaying it I heard the difference. It's still a bit subjective. #15 frustrated me. I put it on half speed and still can't hear it, LOL.
I agree with you, I got 14. And 15 wrong
There's nothing subjective about it, even if you can't hear it, a musician would be able to tell if it's resolved or unresolved even on paper by seeing the notation, so it's as objective as it gets
I think is because the academic aproximation if this test. Everyone that is acquainted with Debussy or 12-tone knows the relativeness of chord progresions.
Thank you for making this brilliant music test! When I was in High School, aged about 15 years, my music teacher told me I was tone-deaf and to sit with the adolescents who did not want to learn music. So, knowing almost nothing about music, I found your test educational and fun, and scored 14 out of 15, failing the 15th question. Maybe now, I will have the confidence to learn a musical instrument at the age of 71. 🙂
@@GreedRuinsEverything Thanks for the advice.
I believe in you pal, like the other lad said! Go for it!
You definitely should go for it
Your music teacher sucked! Discouraging you from doing something you could have loved and enjoy throughout your life because of that?
Just go for it! Its never too late to learn new things and enjoy it. 👍
Wow that was good, I've not done anything like this before, but knew I had a good knack for music. I surprised myself by getting 100% right. I thought I would struggle with the last few, but I surprisingly didn't! Awesome.
14 correct. One of the clash questions had me on the fence because it wasn't a terrible clash but didn't fit together great either. 9 seemed like it could go into a song with a dramatic shift in tonality. I didn't think it would fully but wasn't sure.
The concept of resolution and unresolved phrases is somewhat new to me. It makes sense. Thank you for defining this!
Yeah, i was having trouble understanding what was asked exactly. Got 2 wrong answers during those 7 and 8 questions.
Very music a jazz exercise. I've had whole practices where me and my professor watch a movie with mute. And we gotta play what we think they're saying. Super fun. Super challenging.
My instructor loves to change keys according to the Persons perceived voice. So hell push me to find transitions into new keys or learn to be ok playing in a separate key and learn how those match together.
@@incinerativemario same!!!
@@incinerativemario Yup, I didn't get that concept at all.
It is nice to know I am not tone deaf, I never really thought I was. I have never heard of the unresolved phrases in music, those 3 questions I got wrong.
I am a drummer and have been for over 30 years. Always was told I was tone deaf. I started practicing recognizing pitch, major and minor chords and composing music. I was able to get 100% on this quiz, something that would not have happened 5 years ago. This stuff can be learned. The last question, I was not as confident as all my other answers so I may have got that one right by chance. I really liked the resolved / unresolved melody part I actually learned something really important there. Thanks so much.
Yeah, the last question got me. I also learned something new with the "resolved" and "not resolved" questions. That's more music theory than pitch recognition.
I think that 2nd to last part is not a real, defined thing. In Q13, that could absolutely be the "question", I can hear the answer.
i thought the melody was unresolved, i felt like there could have been a lower cord at the end.
It is a fairly well defined thing, if the last note of the melody ends on a chord tone, most commonly the root, then the melody is considered resolved. At least that’s my understanding of it
I have been drumming for more than 50 years. This test was easy. It is about tone memory and can be practiced and learned. Drummers are not tone deaf. We are too often confronted by people who are guessing the next note and has no clue about beat and tempo!
Loved this video!!
I got them all. Thanks...this was fun!
I got 14 out of 15 with very little hearing in my right ear.
I do sound for my church and wondered if I should even continue.
But I guess when there are “no complaints”, it means everyone is fine with what they’re hearing and that’s all I need to know.
Thanks for helping build confidence in those who otherwise would listen to themselves and end up quitting for the wrong reasons. You’re a godsend!
Well, if you got 14 out of 15 right, then I'd say you're doing pretty well!-- especially given that you are hearing-impaired! You're doing great with what you have, so keep it up! The world needs more people like you-- people who use what they have to the best of their ability!
I also got 14 out of 15 right, and I'm a half deaf veteran long haul truck driver. Maybe I should take up music and quit driving big loud trucks!@@NReese-if1nm
i also cannot hear very well out of my right ear.. and have constant ringing... it has gotten better recently
I play clarinet and have for 20+ years. I can hear and distinguish musical notes from most instruments with ease. I only missed the last question that you provided, and i was on the fence about which answer to choose. When I sing, I am always off-key for some reason. It's strange to me, and I have always wondered why. I dont know how to adjust my singing so that I'm on-key because what I hear when I sing sounds correct to me. Any thoughts?
I am a drummer, have been for over 40 years, I have some degradation in my hearing of course. That test was actually easy, I got 13 good answers out of 15. Question 13 and 14 were puzzling, I am not sure I really understood it. So that is something I will have to work on I guess.
Shocked to get all 15 correct. This little test has given a measure of confidence I didn’t have before. Thank you!
I can't believe I only got 12 . . .
Good job. I've got a classical music education and absolute pitch and got only 12 right :) oh well..
Got 12 as well 🌿👀🌿
I missed the last one! SMH!
2 of them were wrong 😉
15/15 Had a music teacher ask me if I had perfect pitch once...maybe I do. Question 9 & 15 seemed to be the most challenging for me but still managed to get them right. Thanks for this I had fun!
Nailed it! All 15 correct!
15/15. One thing I did notice, is that whenever you asked the same question multiple times in a row, the answer would always be different from the previous questions. Figured this out after 5 questions, almost trivializing the rest of the test.
same, 15/15 here too. its difficult not to let that that impact our answers lol
Only us smart people picked up on this LOL
That’s kinda silly. This test isn’t about getting the best score, it’s to find out how well tuned your ears are. Well done for being smart, but you completely missed the point of the exercise 😂
@@jozzieificationexactly lol
@@jozzieificationkinda hard to take the test seriously when you already know what the answer is going to be.
I got 10/15 which, for someone who channels Cacophonix the tone deaf bard in Asterix's village, is so very encouraging!

Best reply ever :)
Lmaooooo
I though you would say the tone death bard in genshin for a second (I cried when I relised you didn't)
Poor Cacophonix. He is (almost) never allowed in the village's banquets. 😔
I got 15 thanks this was fun. Music has always been my thing, that's why I got into mixing beats, and now you can stream my media.
im really happy that i did this test, even if the video was uploaded 1 year ago, it was really entertaining but is it a real test ? cause i got 15/15 and im not a musician (i dont play any instruments)
As someone who had great hearing that was lost after a sickness. Taking this test and getting 13/15 felt pretty good since I wear hearing aids now.
You're doing really good!
It's about 10 days until I get hearing aids. My score was 12/15 which I feel pretty good about.
Hey! I got 14! My husband tells me I can't sing, and I probably can't, but that does not equate to being unable to HEAR correctly. This was fun. Thanks!
You're absolutely right...not the same thing at all. Lots of instrumentalists have exquisite ears and still can't sing (and vice-versa!). Think of the voice as an instrument. A pianist is not necessarily a great guitarist, right? Two different instruments entirely, yet both can have exceptional ears.
maybe you just don't feel the rhythm while you sing? Or, you cannot correctly hear your own voice....I had a friend who was an outstanding guitarist. He always played up to tempo etc and he would always tell you when your guitar or singing was out of tune (he taught me how to tune the guitar)..But his singing was terrible - he was out of tune all the time.
Singing requires coordination of voice and hearing. It’s not the same as hearing alone.
Singing is also about being able to sustain tone when needed and a few other things. Most people sing the wrong way and end up losing their voices because they sing from the throat and not the diaphragm. And if you were tone deaf you could still be taught how to sing.
Same! I sing off and cannot take a lot of notes, but I got the first 14 right. My hearing and sense of smell are great, probably because my eyesight is not 😂
This test was really valuable to me, because as a child is used to love to sing, and my mom would always tell me that I was tone deaf so whenever I sing, I hear that voice in my head which I need to obviously get rid of. So your test give me confidence that I am not tone deaf
Wow. 15 of 15. Thank you❤

The resolution part was complicated, because it feels like interpretations could vary a lot. Imaginations run wild whenever music tells a story.
I agree. I strongly disagree with 14. I could hear that it ended on the fifth, which sounds resolved to me.
@@DoppeD Yeah I felt the same on that one sounded more resolved to me than 13 odd one that.
@@FSMusicLTD I took it more as a comparison to major/minor--happy/sad. If you listen that way, that's how I came to that conclusion.
