ARE YOU TONE DEAF OR MUSICALLY GIFTED? (A simple test for non-musicians)

9/10 and I love this lesson and all the music from the beginning of this video. hat a brilliant video to start my day with.

My wife claims to be tone deaf and she got 100% right. I've played Trombone for years, sang in the church choir, and I sing for residents at a convalescent hospital, and I missed one of the questions about resolution. Guess I have some work to do. I've always told my wife that she had a good voice and all she needed was some training. Maybe now she might believe me.

as a musician it was pretty easy so 10/10, but great explanations of concepts; i could see someone with no musical experience do well purely because of your great explanations

I got 9 out of 10. Been told I was tone deaf. Music teacher in 5th grade asked me to lip sync because I sang flat. That was in the 60's. Listen to music dailly--all genres. Dad was a performing Opera singer then later a graphic illustrator. I consider myself very lucky to have learned to love music, and all the arts. Very well done, Sir! Thanks!

My late husband was totally tone deaf. We were dancing at a Christmas party, and he was singing the song quietly. He never changed the note - totally monotone.

Not a musician or music theory student, just a passionate music listener. Scored 10/10 without doubts on any question.

This was fun! As a guitar student of just under a year I got 10/10 and I feel like I definitely learned something from this video

Saw this on my recommended, my family always told me I was always good at singing but I was surprised when I got everything right. This was really fun to do, thank you for this!

I am a musician, and I took the test just to see how you constructed it. The examples were very clear and you explained the concepts excellently. I rate your test 10/10. (I also scored 10/10, but I would have been shocked not to, given my decades of musical training.)

32, former vocalist in an orchestra. This was absolutely superb.

I got 8 of 10..I started to self-study playing a piano but I stopped momentarily due to various commitments and life happening..it is much better to have someone physically teaching you to know the right way

got 10/10 as a 14-year-old with no musical training; just an ear for music I suppose. i’ve always enjoyed singing and can match melodies quite easily with my voice, so this was a real delight!

As a 15 year old with no official musical training, I surprised myself by getting a 10/10. It helped a bit that everything was well explained, but it all also just made sense to me in a way.

Here's one thing about being supposedly "tone deaf" - I've been told on multiple occasions that I must be tone deaf since I can't carry a tune. The thing is, I can very clearly HEAR that I can't carry a tune, which in itself is a result of some form of slackness in my vocal chords (never bothered me too much as I never had any musical aspirations). But doing this test out of sheer curiosity I ended up with 10/10. So I have to conclude that if anyone ever tells you you're tone deaf, you probably aren't, and that person is probably just a jerk.

I got 9/10. Slipping up on number 7, understanding tonality. Even though the music was quite happy in melody, I felt the tone was a sadder sound. Obviously, I was wrong. I really enjoyed this! 😁

Got 10/10. I remember teaching myself to sing by mimicking artists on the radio, and learning harmony by listening to others in choir. I was taught piano and quickly started picking out melodies on my own just by listening. Wasn't familiar with resolved vs. unresolved as a concept, but I understood it once you explained it!

I'm a musician and my gf is close to tone deaf. She brings a breath of fresh air to music for me. In order for her to love a piece she literally just... Loves the music. No overthinking. Just vibes. I love that woman so much

I'm 22 years old with no musical training, and got 10/10. The test was pretty fun and I got to learn some terms that I never bothered looking up about music. Thank you!

I always struggled in music class as a kid. It felt like trying to learn a foreign language! I still can't retain information about scales and notes. On this test, I did fine with levels 1 and 2, but only got about half of them right on the Harmony, Tonality and Resolution sections.

Not a musician, but still had a perfect score. You really had some great explanation. It's super weird, because I am literally tone deaf when it comes to my own voice. I'm a teacher and one of the things I struggle a lot is using the tone of my voice because to me my voice sounds completely monotone when I'm speaking, yelling, singing, etc. It's only when I listen back a recording that I recognize my use of tone.
