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.

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

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.

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.

Perfect pitch is best explained with colors. We can see different colors and we dont have to think to distinguish between them. If you have a perfect pitch you hear the notes as clearly as we see colors.

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.

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.

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 played piano for ten years without knowing I had perfect pitch until one day my piano teacher made me stand with my back at the piano, pressed several notes, and asked me to tell him what notes they were. I thought everyone has it. That's when I realized why my peers had a much harder time learning songs whereas I could just listen to the recordings and play right away. I do agree that this seems to test relative pitch rather than perfect pitch.

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.

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

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.

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

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

This is a relative pitch test. Perfect pitch would have asked what scale am I playing? What note is this? What chord is this?

Love it, only you let the notes bleed in eachother at the preview and at the test, its all clean. Kinda makes it harder
