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
19
Piano tone score
23
