Title: Tone deaf or pitch perfect?
Post by: Taffy Saltwater on August 19, 2009, 09:22:34 AM
An interesting test.  I got 26 out of 26 correct.  I just have a lousy singing voice - was hoping for tone deafness as an excuse.

26/26 :)

Yep, hearing a note and reproducing it are two different thing, but I bet you carry a fine tune Taffy. :)

I got 25 out of 26.

I did not recognize all of the songs they were using.  But I guess I have enough of a sense of music to be able to tell when it's wrong, without having know exactly what right is?

And man.  The ones I did know that were wrong were WRONG!  They sounded terrible!

Same here. 25/26, but I didn't recognize all the tunes.

I got 25 out of 26.. Not bad for someone who couldn't carry a tune if I held it in my hands..  :D

26/26  I can carry a tune but I *definately* don't have perfect pitch.  I have to get a starting pitch from somewhere or I'm liable to sing in the wrong key.

I did recognize all the tunes, even though a few of them were mangled almost past the point of recognizability.  There were one or two I couldn't name, though.

Got halfway through the test and the dem things stopped playing for me! But, I think I was doing pretty good! I actually enjoy singing and karaoke- and have found that I can be quite the performer when enough Tequila and Jager is involved!

Now I remember why I stopped playing the clarinet...

Of course the real definition of "perfect pitch" is when you throw an accordion into the dump and it bounces off of a bodhran and lands on top of a bagpipe...
