Wow I fail at this so hard

It would probably be easier if I had some sort of musical background. I don't have the auditory memory for what the "letters" should sound like. then again my aural comprehension blows compared to my visual.

holy shit i failed miserably ;/

Re: how well do you recognize pitches?

you dont really fail though

you either have perfect pitch or you dont and if you dont youre not gonna recognize shit unless youve had years of relative pitch training which will only get you so far. thats why the results are either at the bottom or at the top and theres pretty much no one in the middle

Re: how well do you recognize pitches?

i consider it a failure because i make music, and thought that would increase my chances of scoring high

It got really boring after test 5. I'm sure I missed every single one though. I don't know anything about music notes.

Your score indicates that you do not have absolute pitch.

Re: how well do you recognize pitches?

Apparently I don't have absolute pitch, so I was pretty lost on some notes. However I know the notes B, C, D, and E off the top of my head so I can go off of those and figure out the other notes, ie I have relative pitch. I scored somewhere in the middle.

Re: how well do you recognize pitches?

extremely hard to do with no reference. If it told me what a C was before the test started I would have done a lot better.

Re: how well do you recognize pitches?

Test was too long.

2 years of piano didn't really teach me any of this so I guessed everything.

Weee

Not bad considering I have less knowledge than a third-grader when it comes to music and pitch.

Re: how well do you recognize pitches?

I've always been jealous of people with perfect pitch. So, about a year ago I started learning pitches (by piano, so I'm more attuned to the timbre). The first pitch that came to me was Eb. I realized I could hear it anywhere, sing it without reference and didn't need anything to help me. That's what encouraged me to keep trying to learn the pitches. I'm still trying to learn them all much better, but I'm much more busy nowadays.

The tough thing though is that I've always had good relative pitch, so when doing melodic dictations, I don't always know if I should use more of my pitch memory or relative pitch, so it's a weird combination. For this test, I tried using ONLY my pitch memory, which is FAR from complete. There are a few notes (G, A, D to be exact) that I simply can't sing alone without reference and they can be difficult for me to identify individually. Other pitches like E, B, C# and Ab are semi-memorized (weird to think about memorizing tones..) Pitches that I don't mess up, and got correct for each one of the little tests are Eb, Bb, F, C and F#. (heh, the first four are fifths apart)



And that is my explanation for how I got this weird score..

Pure tone score
