The test is divided into three stages, each of which tests a different pitch judgement skill. Your overall score is used to determine the likelihood that you are truly tone deaf. If you pass the test you can be quite confident you have the fundamental pitch abilities required to become a good musician. The range of human hearing is typically quoted as being from 20-20,000Hz, but age and prolonged exposure to loud sounds can significantly lower your ability to hear high frequencies. For best results, perform the test at a comfortable volume in a quiet environment and using good quality headphones. This adaptive pitch test will play a series of two short tones and ask you if the second tone is higher or lower than the first tone. This test measures your pitch perception abilities by adapting to your responses: The better you are, the closer and closer the stimuli will become. (2011) reported that the ability to discriminate musical tones in non-savant absolute pitch musicians, who can name the appropriate pitch class of any given tone without a reference, was predicted by greater white matter connectivity in left and right temporal lobe regions responsible for the perception and association of pitch.
Are you one of those lucky musicians who happens to have perfect pitch? This test will let you know.
Ah, perfect pitch. So many advantages over your comparatively cloth-eared musician friends. When it comes to tuning your instrument, pitching your voice and generally being slightly superior, perfect pitch is just the best.
But what is perfect pitch?
Put simply, it's the ability to name or sing a given musical note without being given a reference note. If someone says 'sing an A', a person with perfect pitch would be able to hum one without even breaking a sweat.
