Are you "TONE DEAF"? Find out now!

IMPORTANT: I have prepared a special FUN video for you since you have decided to take this test :) I FORCED to conduct myself playing a tango on the piano despite having ZERO knowledge... Here's the result! https://youtu.be/rkagNirabmI

This seems way more like a memory test than a pitch test.

even if u get everything right you most likely don't have perfect pitch, but simply a good ear. and a good memory.

I did choir in high school for one year. A guy in my class had perfect pitch. The choir director got rid of her pitch pipe and would just ask Greg to "give us a B please" or whatever other note we needed. Greg was REALLY good at all things music related. It was like magic.

Me and my bandmates took this test and we are now the Deftones.

This is about relative pitch(RP) and also only the beginning parts of RP. To be sure if you have RP u must also be tested on notes outside the major scale. Perfect pitch is different

Perfect pitch is basically when the person hears a sound, can recognize if it's an A B C D E F G immediately.

I've always been able to tell when a song on the radio is played at a different speed than the recorded version since the pitch seems off. And playing by ear/figuring out chord voicings has always come super easily. I don't think that's necessarily perfect pitch but pitch memory. I'm glad I know a name for that now.

This is great - I love these challenges and the way you present them - this is a lot of fun! I had bad experiences with music teachers growing up, and have avoided trying again later in life as a result. I REALLY appreciate the style of these videos and now want to try again. If you can recommend a good keyboard for beginners, especially if it is iPad/Mac friendly, I would really appreciate it. Also, I care for my elderly father, who has dementia. I'm thinking of incorporating your videos into our daily mind & cognition exercises - which ones would you recommend, and do you have any experience(s) of using music with people who are suffering cognitive issues? Thank you again for this great channel!

The second one got me so confused, I was like “that’s C#, not B”

To be clear as I'm reading a lot of misinformation in the comments... This video doesn't intend on guaranteeing you have perfect pitch, despite the title. It's great if you can get all of them, well done, impressive! However, I've been a musician for nothing short of 10 years now and, despite completely acing this video, I definitely do not have perfect pitch. I have extremely good relative pitch, which I have once mistaken for perfect pitch, but the two are quite different. Charles Cornell explained perfect pitch, well, perfectly. He said (paraphrased) "a person with perfect pitch recognises pitch like we recognise color. Asking someone with perfect pitch 'what note is this?' is like asking non-colorblind people 'what color is this?'." They're on a completely different level, and while you can learn exceptional relative pitch (or true pitch), perfect pitch just doesn't work in the same way, they're two completely different processes. Charlie Puth, for example, can literally recognise any 5 notes played on a piano no matter how random and far apart those notes are and even recognised that a coffee mug, when hit with a spoon, would ring at somewhere between C and C#, or both, on one of those talk shows.

LOVING IT! Please more secs between exercise ❤

Thank you very much for this test. It means a lot to me.

Yeah, it's more of a relative pitch test, but hey ! I myself enjoyed to hear that i have perfect pitch :) Motivates ! Thank you

the 10 years of cello, violin, viola, piano and professional singing finally did me right

I found this test easy and got all correct, but is probably because I have been playing the piano since I was 9 years old. That was 73 years ago. I still enjoy playing and learning new music. I can’t imagine not having music in my live and I find it great therapy for depression or tension. Thanks for the test😊

I answered almost 80%. But i find myself digging many times to find the right notes and sequences. Practice and years of experiences esp hearing different things and trying to play them will bring me closer for sure.

I was tested for PP by my organ teacher when I was 11. She tested me on notes and chords, including chords I hadn’t learnt yet at the time. I had that ability to identify each note in the chords she played which told me what chord it was. I was also playing music off the radio for quite some time before I was tested. This is how it was revealed I have PP. I learned later that it runs in both sides of my family (PP usually does run in families). All of my siblings have it and two of my grandparents also had it. Another giveaway that someone has PP is they can sing in tune without the need for musical backup to keep them in tune, they can play a song that they hear on the radio almost identically, they can tell you what key it’s in after listening to a few bars and identify key changes. People with RP take a bit longer or even struggle to identify notes and chords and keys without music in front of them, the key a piece is written in when they listen to it and key changes. They may also require backup if they’re singing. These are the differences between RP and PP.

A fun quiz! Certainly not scientific, but fun to play. Well presented.

Very fun, thanks for sharing
