Are you TONE DEAF or MUSICALLY GIFTED? (A FUN test for non-musicians)
TLDRThis musical aptitude test aims to determine one's musical giftedness on a 0-15 scale through 15 questions that increase in difficulty. Listeners hear two notes played consecutively and determine if the second note is higher, lower, or the same as the first. Other questions test if a single note clashes or fits with a preceding chord or scale. Further questions distinguish between major (happy) and minor (sad) tonalities, identify resolved versus unresolved melodies, and determine if a final note repeats any from a previous sequence. The test creator welcomes viewers to share their scores and feedback on challenging questions, hoping the test proves valuable and earns viewers' interest.
Takeaways
- 😀 The video describes a musical aptitude test with 15 progressively more difficult questions
- 😎 Participants hear musical excerpts and identify differences between notes and chords
- 🎹 Questions test the ability to detect differences in pitch, tonality, consonance vs dissonance
- 🎶 Both major and minor tonalities are tested to check the ability to detect happy vs sad sounding music
- 🔊 Questions get harder and require telling the difference between resolved and unresolved melodies
- 🎵 Participants are instructed to write down answers within 10 seconds of hearing each musical example
- 📝 The video provides the correct answers after each question to tally the final score
- 🤔 The goal is to determine the participant's musical giftedness on a scale of 0 to 15
- ✏️ Participants need paper and a pen or pencil handy to write down their answers
- 🙂 The video creator welcomes viewers to share their test results and feedback in the comments
Q & A
What is the purpose of this musical test?
-The purpose is to determine the participant's musical ability and giftedness on a scale from 0 to 15.
What items does the participant need before starting the test?
-The participant needs a piece of paper and a pen or pencil to write down their answers.
How many total questions are there in this musical test?
-There are 15 total questions.
Do the questions get more difficult as the test progresses?
-Yes, each question gets progressively more difficult.
How much time is given to answer each question?
-Approximately 10 seconds is provided after each question.
What are the two main types of tonalities in Western music?
-The two main tonalities are major and minor. Major sounds open, bright and happy. Minor sounds closed, dark and sad.
What is meant by musical dissonance and consonance?
-Dissonance creates musical tension, like a question. Consonance resolves the tension, like an answer.
What can the last note potentially be in the final question?
-The last note could be a repetition of one of the previous seven consecutive notes.
Where can participants share their test results and feedback?
-Participants are invited to share their results and feedback in the comments section.
What action is recommended if the participant found this test valuable?
-If the test was valuable, the participant is encouraged to like, subscribe and share.
Outlines
😀 Introducing the musical giftedness test
The narrator Michael introduces himself and the musical giftedness test. He explains that it contains 15 increasingly difficult multiple choice questions, provides instructions on taking the test, and asks if the viewer is ready to begin.
🎵 Questions 1-8 test pitch recognition
Questions 1 through 8 test the viewer's ability to compare the pitch of two consecutively played notes. The viewer must determine if the second note is higher, lower, or the same as the first note played.
🎶 Questions 9-15 test musicality
Questions 9 through 15 test more advanced musical skills like detecting clashing melodies and chords, identifying major/minor tonalities and their associated moods, and recognizing resolved versus unresolved musical phrases. The final question tests pitch memory by playing a repeating note after a series of ascending notes.
