I understand this video the best of all Ur other ones, so now know why i can't sing or play music. I repeatedly missed ALL of the them in even level one! I have good "normal" hearing, but i'm "tone/pitch deaf" even though i can hear just fine when music or singing notes are going up or down. I just can't identify them. So Thank you! At least i know now.
Same here. Don't give up! Tone deafness is absolutely curable. I speak from experience. I am not completely cured but I am way better than I was. I too could not identify most of these notes but with trial and error I could pick them up on the keyboard. ..
Did you know Tibetan music is fretless. so they play in fractions of notes. Like E and a 1/4, E and an 1/8th...they could have like 60 notes in one octave. THAT would help you in Western music.
Just Music THIS. its the on screen keyboard vs piano sound played first, I've never compared the software sounds so I hadn't noticed but there is a slight 'twinge' sound after the second key is played and I went wtf is that and then you realise the keyboard is flat...
Oh thank god. I can't really tell, 'cause I am still learning hearing stuff by ear, intervals and such, but I would pause the video to figure out what interval the previous guessed note and the next you had to guess were apart, ya know, to figure out which note was next, and played it back several times and the note I had sung was a too sharp. I thought I was too sharp, but guess not
No wonder. Some notes would sound like the note a step below and the answer piano would show that I was incorrect even though I thought I picked the correct note.
@Mjay I don't think I have it. I didn't guess everything right, in a level I usually make a couple of mistakes. I started having trouble in level 8 and level 9 was very hard for me, I only got about 30% of the notes right there.
here’s my issue, i hear the note and i know the note and say it and then all of a sudden i’m like wait no it’s the other- oh i was right the first time
It doesn't matter at all, Unikey. I'm red/green colour-blind, and know that my sister can see much more detail and subtlety in the paintings I hang on my wall than I can. But I still enjoy them.
Back to school, or the neurologist's office for me. The three or four notes I got wrong were always off by a minor third (or augmented second, if you prefer). I think that's weirder (and actually quite disturbing). Cancel my earlier comment, obviously.
What does it for me is that I'm perfectly trained in pitch and the piano yet I get it slightly wrong as I keep thinking that it goes up in scale like C4 to C5 or D4 to D5 instead of just sticking to the same scale of C4 to C5. Not to mention, the delay really throws you off.
I find this video amazing for interval ear training. Simply singing along to the notes and identifying the next internal is a great beginner exercise to practice daily.
I've only begun working on my relative pitch. Here's my results: Level 1 - 2 wrong Level 2 - 3 wrong Level 3 - 4 wrong Level 4 - 4 wrong Level 5 - 4 wrong Level 6 - 7 wrong Level 7 - 4 wrong Level 8 - 7 wrong Level 9 - 7 wrong Level 10 - 9 wrong When sharps and flats are introduced, I miss a lot of the obvious intervals. I even "cheated" by continuously ringing the "C" on my keyboard as a reference note.
I’ve been working on relative pitch ever since I realised I could figure out the chords to songs quite quickly. That was a year ago and near my relative pitch is almost instant. It took a while but i think it was worth it. I got a perfect score and it’s extremely helpful because I am in a band and sometimes we have to improvise and it makes it way easier to lead and i know if someone is doing something wrong and how to correct them. It’s worth the time. Get perfect pitch. Batteries not included
This is why understanding do re me fa so la ti do and intervals it makes the basis of developing relative pitch and allows you to measure the distance between notes with your ear and triads are also important 😂
Yeah i literally just know the song "do re me" of "the sound of music" and it starts on C and has been stuck in my head for years so i remember it lol. Give it a try it might work for you too
As someone who did really well on this, after you lose the tonal center of C you need to toss it out the window and focus on what the relationship of the last note you heard and the new note you are hearing to figure out the current notes pitch. I found that sometimes one note after another in around level 7 or 8 there would just be certain chords played like b flat minor. Levels 9 and 10 i think are more like random notes and i struggled more on these but still did really well
What’s interesting for me is that there are some notes I know perfectly, and then I mess up the rest. The reason is that I have synesthesia (I associate colors with music) and that I’ve learned to have perfect pitch with certain notes like C, F, and G because I recognize their colors without fail. Notes like F# and Eb are notes I associate with notes of certain songs (how I started out learning F and G) and I’ll never mess either of those up, either. But for me, all the sharps/flats look relatively alike in my head, and the notes A, B, and E all mix up because they’re almost the same shade of blue by themselves without notes to surround them. D is usually easy to determine, but since it changes colors depending on context, if certain notes are played before D, I’ll mistake it for an E, B, or A. And then the sharps and flats are too easy to mix up (though, surprisingly, I got them all almost perfectly in this, so maybe I am learning). Throughout this whole exercise, it didn’t seem to get any harder for me. Just, the notes I know, I knew even until level 10, and the ones I have trouble with, I always mixed up from level 1. So... idk 😅
@@Alvis44 Since that point in time (in which I left this specific comment) I’ve trained myself further and I don’t mess up on any of the notes anymore. Self-taught perfect pitch, I wholeheartedly advocate that such a thing is real, mind is made up. Other comments came to exist after my achievement.
@@sophiaredwood5825 well it sounds like you already had the initial potential to have perfect pitch. For people who dont hear sounds in colors they cant overtime just develop perfect pitch. Scientifically impossible its proven.
@@Alvis44 Ngl, I have been wondering about this too. I find it plausible that I might be more predisposed than most people to learn perfect pitch. Apparently my grandfather was naturally brilliant with music, so it might be genetic. At the same time, I personally feel as if it’s not impossible for other people - just probably much more difficult. I think everyone has a natural level of pitch recognition and then they’d just have to work from there. A bit random, but if you’ve ever heard of MCR’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” there’s an intro note to the song (G key on the piano) that thousands upon thousands of fans recognize instantly. (I personally don’t listen to MCR, but once I heard about this specific phenomenon, I got curious enough to look into the song.) Apparently, so I’ve heard, you could strike the G5 key in front of a fan and their mind will automatically make the association. It’s so common that people in the community call it being G-noted. They hear the note and know immediately it’s the beginning of that song, know immediately that it’s a G. Of course, someone like me sees that and goes, “Anyone can do it then.” Which might sound like a bit of a stretch, because, well, it’s one note in one octave. But funnily enough, G5 was my very first note, too (not with that specific song, but I digress). The way I taught myself perfect pitch involved taking different songs and finding target notes within them - memorable notes, ones I knew so well that I couldn’t mix up if I tried. And then I would listen for those notes in the real world or in other songs. It wasn’t me pausing my music and going, “Is that a C#?” but instead, me going “Is that the first sung note of Dear Theodosia?” and then listening to the same section over and over until I figured out the answer. Then eventually, I got so good at building the association between unnamed note + Dear Theodosia = C# that I eventually didn’t even have to go into that second layer. I just went, unnamed note = C#. The same way MCR fans can hear a G5 and know it’s a G without even having to really think about Welcome to the Black Parade. Anyway yeah, that’s my theory. Not totally credible, I know. I’ll still back it up with everything in me. I won’t lie, synesthesia and naturally good pitch did help me on my journey learning perfect pitch. (Actually, learning perfect pitch was so straightforward for me that for the majority of that journey, I had no clue that that was what I was actually doing; I was under the impression that ALL aspiring musicians taught themselves what I was teaching myself and that it was fairly common.) That being said I don’t want to outright restrict anyone else from making the same journey. I believe that learning perfect pitch isn’t fully impossible for anyone. I think of it a lot like learning a language, honestly. It involves quite a bit of translating into another, “first” language that you can understand when you’re starting out. And then the more comfortable you get, the less translating you need to do, and then eventually after years of work it becomes a universe of its own in your mind and that first language isn’t a factor in that second language anymore. (I haven’t successfully learned an actual language before, so take that with a grain of salt. But I can guess that’s how it feels.) I guess it’s just whether or not it’s worth it to spend years upon years training perfect pitch rather than just learning relative pitch or getting good at reading sheet music. At the end of the day, it’s not the biggest deal anyway. Still, that’s my take.
30 years ago I was well trained in hearing notes and durations, it was part of the course I took to be a musician... but I could realize that I missed part of my ear development. My result was: 0 mistakes in levels 1 and 2. Then the average was about 4 to 5 mistakes per level 'till level 9 and then it was catastrophic!
@@shaharsaydof5045 you have relative pitch because you practised those notes, and use one reference (whatever it is) to tell the pitch of the notes relative to the reference sound you hear or memorize in your head. Perfect pitch can only be developed when you are a little child, and with it you are able to instantly and instinctively tell the pitch of any sound (not just the piano), without using any references you hear or that you may have memorized by practising (like you do in relative pitch).
@@shaharsaydof5045 Yes, you think you aren't using any reference but you started off with a reference sound and that memory is stored subconsciously in your brain without you realising. You will probably forget, or have to hear it again, if you stop practising for a very long period of time. Also, since you trained yourself and throughout you playing or practising, you probably heard several notes played, so that helps your brain with memorizing reference sounds and patterns. If you can go and tap any object other than an instrument (e.g. with a pen) that can make a sound and you are able to instinctively tell the correct pitch absolutely instantly to more-less the correct cents, then you would have perfect pitch. If you can do that instantly with any sound (even if you have not heard it before), and without using a reference sound, then you have perfect pitch
@@shaharsaydof5045 take a look at a video with Charlie puth where they test his perfect pitch using several different sounds that aren't made by instruments, and he is able to tell the correct pitch, even if it's slightly off/ detuned - instantly and without using a reference sound
when I took music theory in high school, I discovered a little life hack for myself (I was the only choir student in my class). using Solfege was a life saver when recognizing notes, especially because 'Do' typically starts on C, and in the key of C. I don't think I have perfect pitch, but I'm lucky I know my way around lol
Missed - 1) 0 2) 0 3) 1 4) 0 5) 3 6) 0 7) 1 8) 1 9) 5 10) 5 I didn't realize i was doing it until this video but whenever I'm listening to music and I know the opening note, I imagine a keyboard in my head and follow the notes as the melody moves via intervals. it was just those tritones and raised fifths that got me near the end. I'm also a pianist so I guess that helps :P
This is harder than I thought ....at least now I know what I need to work on ......(I was encouraged to learn this by watching claire crosby's perfect pitching test )
GUYS don't get discouraged! In three days i went from failing after level 3-4 till almost up to level 8! my trick was to associate every note to a song and I can say that helped alot!
I was 6 months old when I discovered Hawking’s Brief History of Time(it’s a bore with basic sentient logic but it seems to excite you little creatures), wrote my doctorate dissertation on the self-dual monistic nature of hemispheric transfers along the corpus callosum at age 2, created topological 4D objects using E8 Lattice’s implementation on quantum particles and spare NASA quantum computers at age 8, discovered a new bound of philosophy and science known as Reality Theory(which maps the deterministic nature of reality and our perception on a metaphysical level) at age 12, owned 78% of the international monetary supply at age 18,but I don’t have perfect pitch 😡😡 life is unfair sometimes
@@mayap8191 thank you for being one of the reasons we can brag about having perfect pitch :) in real life though, it can become annoying as you can't hear anything without hearing your inner voice screaming the name of that note, so don't worry, you're not missing out that much
AnAmericanComposer - every time I was wrong (three or four times), I was a whole minor third wrong, never a tone or semitone. That can't be good. Incipient senility, I suppose. I hope your work on the "futurists" is going well; rather you than me (:
Recently started wanting to train my relative pitch. I've had very little pitch training, and just took this test after 30 minutes of pitch training app which only included C4-C5 (Cmaj, no accidentals). Here are my results: Level 1: 6 right Level 2: 3 right Level 3: 5 right Level 4: 7 right Level 5: 5 right Level 6: 5 right Level 7: 5 right Level 8: 5 right Level 9: 3 right Level 10: 1 right I plan on training this until I get better pitch, so maybe once I do, I'll come back and try again. Thanks!
I did ok to begin then progressed to 1 or 2 right in the upper levels. I even began to get higher and lower notes confused. NOTE: I have made a part-time living as a musician and singer for 15 years - paid engagements. A soloist nonetheless. I am good at it. I know because this is the feedback I've received from many hundreds of people. I worked on it for years and years prior to public performances. I have to memorize instrumental parts to songs and l listen to recordings of my practice to know where I make vocal mistakes. It is in no way a natural talent. I just persevered.
Level 1- 11/11 Level 2- 11/11 Level 3 - 11/11 Level 4 - 11/11 Level 5 - 11/11 Level 6 - 11/11 Level 7 - 11/11 Level 8 - 9/11 Level 9 - 10/11 Level10 - 9/11 Even though I have a perfect pitch but sometimes I get the notes wrong by a semi tone or even an octave. I was 8 when my music teacher told me I can identify pitches
I got 1 wrong in level 7 and I do not have perfect or relative pitch and here is how I did it. I used songs and passages that I have played in the time I have been playing my instrument and found key notes in those passages like: A: Follows up to Bb because in band we always play F, G, A, Bb to tune. A#: it is my tuning note. B: In my combo band I played a song where everyone started on concert B natural. C: A passage in one of the songs in my wind ensemble went A, Bb, C. C#: C# to D# is like Viva La Vida. D: In Crazy in Love by Beyonce the hits are D's (and also Megalovania "sigh") D#: La Campanella is a famous piece that goes from low Eb to high Eb in one of the phrases. E: While auditioning for my district 10 honor band one of the passages started on an E. F: it is the first note in our tuning phrase, F, G, A, Bb. F#: it is the first note in the phrase if I play F, G, A, Bb up a half step (yes that is how I find that out). G: I played a song in 8th grade that went G, A, Bb ....... G, A , Bb, A, G, F, F, G. G#: It feels like it needs to lead up to Bb.
I passed level 1 flawlessly. Level two made me second guess myself and I was off by a single note for the first few, but I caught on to it quickly. Level 3 was easier than level 2 when I stopped second guessing it. Level 4, I was off by 1-2 notes at first, I had to go back to the reference point and take a second to re-contextualize everything. It worked out
I have been playing violin for 6 months and I wanted to see how good my ear when I practice. Level 1 - 10/11 Level 2 - 11/11 Level 3 - 10/11 Level 4 - 11/11 Level 5 - 8/11 (I was struggling at level 5 and 6 because C# is called Db in this video) Level 6 - 7/11 Level 7 - 9/11 Level 8 - 9/11 Level 9 - 10/11 Level 10 - 10/11
Level 1: 0 (but almost got fooled by the low octave B) Level 2: 4 Level 3: 6 Level 4: 7 Level 5: 5 Level 6: 3 (Startled by the sudden flat, but surprisingly got low mistakes) Then after that, my inner reference got messed up because of the flats/sharps, also probably because I lost focus Level 7: 5 Level 8: 9 Level 9: 6 Level 10: 7 But one thing I notice is that I can distinguish when it changes from white notes to black and vice versa; it's just mostly a step or half-step off so I think that's good idk
I could only do the first one, and after that I would get some right, or get them like one off. I am proud of myself since I just found out what relative pitch is, and I’ve never tried this before.
I started to screw up at level seven, because my ear started to lose track of what the C sounded like. It would have definitely helped if they could have played the C, and then the note, so that I could also work on my intervals. :)
I memorize notes by associating them with a song or melody I like and that way I could identify each note without much effort. Here's my list for you: C= First note of the bass solo of "True Faith" C#= First note of the guitar melody of ' "Treat You Better" D= First note of the bass riff of "Blue Monday" D#= First note of the bass solo of "Crystal" E= The "Maybe I just wanna fly" - part of "Live Forever" F= The "Panic is on the WAAAY!" part of "Gas Panic!" F#= The first vocal note of "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" G= "Don't Look Back in Anger" - the first note of the chorus G#= "Numb" - the first note of the chorus as well A= First note of the bass melody of "Elegia" A#= First bass notes during the "chrous" of AtLA's main theme B= First note of one of the "Champagne Supernova" guitar solos
Level 1: 0 mistakes Level 2: 0 mistakes Level 3: 0 mistakes Level 4: 0 mistakes Level 5: 0 mistakes Level 6: 2 mistakes Level 7: 0 mistakes Level 8: 1 mistake Level 9: 0 mistakes but I took more time Level 10: 0 mistakes I feel like I got the hang of it as I did it, but it was hard not to sing out loud haha Choir definitely helped because *solfege*
Lvl 1: 4 Lvl 2: 3 Lvl 3: 6 Lvl 4: 4 Lvl 5: 2 Lvl 6: 3 Lvl 7: 3 Lvl 8: 3 Lvl 9: 3 Lvl 10: 6 I was hitting a good stride of missing three, but my brain got tired of deciphering notes, so by level 10 I wasn’t focused anymore. I want to practice and get better at this! I haven’t had much formal training, but I love to sing!
Round 1 - 6 Round 2 - 5 Round 3 - 7 After that I honestly stopped paying attention to how many I was getting wrong but 9/10 times I was only a semi-tone or a whole step off. A couple big jumps which did throw me off quite a bit but I'm RELATIVELY happy with how I did, never actually tested my ears before so I'm quite impressed
1) 10/11 (didnt try much) 2) 11/11 3) 11/11 4) 11/11 5) 11/11 6) 11/11 7) 11/11 (started being hesitant with identifying but got the right notes in time) 8) 11/11 9) 11/11 10) 9/11 In my opinion this would be much harder if it had started adding more notes to be played at the same time..
"didn't try much" and got wrong? you have to be a magician to get every other one right and get one wrong in the first level. if you are that good, you don't have to "try" to know what a white key is. I call bullshit.
I honestly passed with flying colors. I've been developing my relative pitch since the beginning of the year. I just found this quiz out now but I was finally able to know each note on its own a couple months ago (D and F kicked my butt). Now I need to work on a bunch of other music theory stuff, but I'll make sure my mind will B natural. Teehee
@@trishnav6516 i haven’t been as focused on music theory to be honest so no! however i’m now obsessed with drums and i’m taking lessons and so i’m gonna try to get back into theory somewhat
I've tried two ways to do it: one way is to try to repeat referring to C in my mind when I hear a new note, this way might get distracted more often when the level goes up and to overcome the tonal gravity, you might need to convince yourself the black notes are passing notes (but this is not a natural way for me); Another way is to use the current note as a standpoint and think about the interval, I do find the improvisation & transcription experience help me in recognizing the correct key quite fast.
I was a bit puzzled by this video, maybe because I just came from quarreling with the "perfect pitch" guys. Doesn't everybody have relative pitch recognition? If not, why do we bother writing music at all?
petre Tepner yeah I wondered that too. I guess it just gets hard if you have to single out notes from chords, as in ugly chords rather than normal tonic chords. I’m 100% sure that would kill me
Almost everyone has relative pitch, yeah. Not sure about tone deaf people tho. But like, people who never spent a day in their life making music, or learning theory, or whatever, can definitely not tell the exact distance between notes and such. I guess I don't quite get what's leaving you puzzled. Relative pitch is something you have to train.
Saying someone "has relative pitch" is a weird statement, maybe that's what this is about? Mostly when people say someone has relative pitch, they mean trained or developed relative aka being able to identify a note by hearing a reference note. But yeah, everyone has relative pitch, or everyone (I think) can develop (trained) relative pitch.
My results. Errors: Lvl. Errors 1. 2 2. 3 3. 3 4. 3 5. 5 6. 6 7. 7 8. 4 9. 5 10. 9 I've been training my ears some months until now but not like this. I've been training interval recongnition. My training is working so I could recognize a lot of intervals, but its hard to keep this C in my mind. And when you put the altered notes in, is really hard to keep this reference C in my mind, especially when you play Db. I also lack of training highier intervals than octave and decendent intervals. Good vid!!!
To be completely honest I am quite proud of myself that I didn’t get 0 on any 😂 also most of my answers that I got wrong were mainly by only a whole note of a semitone. Overall NOT TO BAD! 👍 My results: Level 1: 8 Level 2: 7 Level 3: 9 Level 4: 6 Level 5: 4 Level 6: 6 Level 7: 5 Level 8: 4 Level 9: 6 Level 10: 2 Total: 57!!!
My 9-year-old-son 0 mistakes in all levels after short training (I sometimes help him but I'm not a professional musician). He started playing the piano 3 years ago. His teacher says he's talented but unfortunately nobody is interested in his perfect pitch if he's really got one. Soon I'll put the film on the Internet.
This showed me a lot about my relative pitch. I found that a lot of the times I should just go with my gut. there were a few times where i was back and forth between two notes and every time, my instinct was right but I didn't want to believe it. There are a lot of notes that i have memorized and its almost impossible for me to miss them, and only a handful that needs a little work. my goal is to hopefully develop what will be at least similar to perfect pitch. and while it will never be the same as someone naturally born with it, it will hopefully be close enough.
Level 1: 11/11 Level 2: 11/11 Level 3: 11/11 Level 4: 10/11 (dammit) Level 5: 9/11 Level 6: 8/11 Level 7: 4/11 (AHHHHH) Level 8: 5/11 Level 9: 4/11 Level 10: 3/11 It’s the sharps and flats 🤦🏻♀️ I’m pretty consistent in C major but when the sharps and flats get thrown in there, it throws me off. Edit: I’ve only been working on developing my perfect pitch for about a week tho so I’m pretty happy with it so far
You mean relative pitch. If you are one of the like 0.01% with perfect pitch you would be able to tell all of them without having heard any note before to relate it to.
Part of the difficulty in hearing an interval is performance related. For example, a major third would typically not be played "hard," whereas a perfect fourth often is, although does not have to be. Therefore when a major third is played hard, the performance of it contradicts the interval and it can lean the listener towards hearing the third as a fourth. Major thirds are typically a harmonic extension of their previous note thus forming one harmonic idea, whereas the fourth (and others such as a second) is representative of harmonic change thereby lending those intervals towards more demarcated performance.
Level 1- 7/11 Level 2- 4/11 Level 3 - 4/11 Level 4- 3/11 Level 5- 5/11 Level 6- 5/11 level 7- 4/11 Level 8- 4/11 level 9- 4/11 Level 10- 3/11 Guess I could use some extra training time. As a singer, this is something I will need to work on improving
Some few people have this skill since they are Born, they Just need to use it, but I think Most of the guys Sith good results learned a relative Pitch over the periode of some years. (I am 16 years, and Play since I am 5 different instruments, and I also sing often and try to improve in both. Now I have a very good relativ pitch and also some Kind of perfect pitch [I can identify most notes and can hear if the C isnt in tune, but thats still not a perfect pitch])
I'm a classically trained double bassist and composer (playing for 7½ years, and writing for 7), and I got a total of 8 of these wrong. It's okay to not have as many of these right as the rest of us.
I do play the guitar, I’ve been playing it for 2 years, I got about like 6 right in the first level lol. I kept on guessing a note down, which was annoying.
I am a piano musician of 7 years. I never compose lol. I just read music sheets and play it with right tempo. Guess what? My music teacher said I am tone deaf and it's real lol. I exist. I can't sing well because of that, thats why i choose to play an instrument instead
that was a fantastic video. i have lately been working on my ear training. i can now listen to a song and sing along to it, then i walk to my piano to try and figure out a certain note, and i can most often get within a whole tone. So i have relative pitch, not perfect pitch xD . i will def be watching this vid more to work on my ear. i acc found that my ear got better as the levels got higher because i was just improving. level: 1- 9/11 2- 6/11 3- 7/11 4- 6/11 5- 8/11 6- 7/11 7- 8/11 8- 8/11 9- 4/11 10- 3/11 (eek lol)
My mistakes: Level 1 - 0 Level 2 - 2 Level 3 - 2 Level 4 - 3 Level 5 - 2 Level 6 - 2 Level 7 - 3 Level 8 - 6 Level 9 - 3 Level 10 - 4 I was really surprised I did so well xD I haven’t done such a test before and I think this result is very solid
I just go really near to the note.. only miss it for about a tone or semitome.. I used the previous note as reference bc i continuosly forgetting the beginning C... Also I play guitar for 8 years.. so i assume i developed a relative pitch during this years
I've trained myself to have pretty alright relative pitch, though I haven't done very much musicing in the last few years, so this was a good exercise to see how far the skill has decayed for me. I got 1 note wrong on the first level, 2 on the second, 3 on the third, then 5 on the fourth, 6 on the fifth but only 5 wrong on the sixth and seventh, then I sort of went off the rails being only able to guess one or two notes out of the rest. Toward the end I was even getting my personal home base of C and Bb confused, which I guess makes sense for someone who started out on a Bb instrument. it is kind of jarring when the comparison tones are a cent or two off from each other but that's kind of how a lot of less produced music actually does sound. This video is in better tune than any school's practice pianos, anyway!
we got a couple of them but honestly harder than we expected. I’d say neither of us has relative pitch, but we genuinely enjoyed the experience. thanks for sharing this video! 🫶
Level 1: 7/11 Level 2: 5/11 Level 3: 4/11 Level 4: 6/11 Level 5: 4/11 Level 6: 6/11 Level 7: 8/11 Level 8: 3/11 Level 9: 1/11 Level 10: 2/11 lol I never had musical training so it was to be expected
Level 1: 11 notes Level 2: 11 notes Level 3: 11 notes Level 4: 10 notes Level 5: 10 notes Level 6: 11 notes Level 7: 11 notes Level 8: 9 notes Level 9: 11 notes Level 10: 11 notes So, people with perfect pitch, trained or natural, can also make mistakes, don't be dissapointed and don't stop training if you don't get a note or two right.
I played marimbas for a few years. The notes were labeled so eventually I got used to what each note sounds like. Being able to see each note labeled on the piano is what helped me, especially for the sharps and flats My results: Level 1 - 0 wrong Level 2 - 0 wrong Level 3 - 0 wrong Level 4 - 0 wrong Level 5 - 0 wrong Level 6 - 2 wrong Level 7 - 1 wrong Level 8 - 1 wrong Level 9 - 4 wrong Level 10 - 3 wrong
What you should do 1st to establish the key is play the major triad. The 1,3,5. Play it once and then do the notes because sometimes the ear can hear different keys. For example when you first play C and then D. I heard D as a 6th Minor and not a 2th minor, which it is in the key of C major. Whether written or just by ear you need to establish the key your in
Ive started learning it where to remember the last last note in your mind and the one it just played to compare the next notes because they might be closer to the current note and easier to compare how many notes apart they are. Like i count up in notes with my teeth like 1 2 3. Tbh it actually works pretty well i was getting more right too.
Lol, it's extremely easy for perfect pitch people. I got everything right. Something I don't understand: does perfect pitch need training, or are some people simply born with the ability to identify notes?
Gavin Liuranium I believe that it is possible to memorize pitches. I can name any note played on the piano (my main instrument) and sing any note if I think of playing that note in my head. However, I couldn’t do that two years ago. It wasn’t until I really started listening to the notes as separate things than pieces in a song.
So, I'm guitarist from Shymkent from Kazakhstan ( souther than Russia). Under 7 level, all was good, but at 7,8 and 9 level, I have had about 4-5 mistakes on each level. But suddenly at level 10 and 11, I had only couple of mistakes on each level. Thanks to author for this test!
i have a weird situation i cant tell if i have perfect pitch or not. I got 19/20 . any natural notes i can identify immediately but sharps and flats take me a couple seconds and i have to hear the natural note thats next to it, identify it and then know what the pitch is . so do i have perfect pitch ? i learned piano and guitar when i was around 9-11 yrs old. just providing context if it helps PLEASE HELP I WANNA KNOW
Peachy i know the difference tho , trust . if i have to think about it or relate it to a different note i hear in my head , i know im using relative pitch . but without a thought in my head i can identify the natural notes , using "perfect pitch". im weird help 😅😂
Akenzie Idk, Maybe its like an advanced relative pitch or sorta downgraded absolute pitch. Usually people develop perfect pitch at super young ages just look at all those 3 year old prodigies 😭 since you started at 9-11 yrs old you might have absolute pitch bc it can be sorta learned by some older kids and adults. its when u can tell what the absolute pitch of something is but not necessarily recognize it instanty. You should try testing and take my words with a grain of salt.
only had time for the seven five levels but I'll definitely come back to finish this off! The mistakes I made at each level were as follows: Level 1: 1 mistake Level 2: 1 mistake Level 3: 0 mistakes! Level 4: 2 mistakes Level 5: 1 mistake Level 6: 3 mistakes Level 7: 6 mistakes I'm sure that when I do the harder levels I'll make more mistakes, especially since as I got to semitones I just made all out guesses
It's funny because all my life I've listened to music and tried to tap it out on my fingers guessing the relative pitch but never having been able to play any instruments or know music theory and only in the last few months (I am almost 40) have I bought a keyboard and actually tried to learn. I didn't even know this was a thing. I really though I'd be good at this based on what I think I hear but in reality it is SUPER HARD. I got most of level 1 and 2 (only missed a couple on each) but clearly I have anti-perfect-pitch, I am sure I know it then hit the key I think it is only to discover I was way off.
same haha. it’s a feeling of the notes having a really distinct and unique sound and then getting confused over whether how people cannot remember /identify a note . to me it’s just too easy and really recognisable
Panic! at the twenty one chemical boys I actually used that chord pattern in my head to identify level 9 LOL I would sing the notes relative to G in my head to identify them
I'm a guitarist of about a year and a half, a trumpeter of about 6 years and a pianist about about a year and a half( a realllyyyyy long time ago) Level 1: missed 3 Level 2: missed 8 Level 3: missed 7 Level 4: missed 7 Level 5: missed 7 Level 6: missed 5 Level 7: missed 8 Level 8: missed 10 (lost focus) Level 9: missed 11 Level 10: missed 8 (My most common mistake is confusing an E for a D) Something I did to help me was a paused mind way through level ten and sang low c, g, high c, g, low c, low g. Being a trumpet player, I have the pitch of c, g, and high c memorized decently but have always had trouble of identifying it amongst other notes so I just basically had to reenter my brain if that makes sense.
Level 1 no mistakes Level 2 one mistake Level 3 one mistake Level 4 one mistake Level 5 three mistakes Level 6 five mistakes Level 7 five mistakes Level 8 four mistakes Level 9 eight mistakes Level 10 eight mistakes I thought the first four were promising, but after that it was abismal.
I got them all with no perfect pitch. Three years ago I would've sucked so bad at this which shows that relative pitch is a skill that can be acquired, unlike perfect pitch. The key thing is to SING out loud, whatever your relationship with music is.
Nice video. It's a high level to start at though. I have started my ear training videos at a very basic level so that everyone can start building their ear thoroughly from the ground up.
What I learned is that I need to be more confident. When doing it I second guessed myself and got it wrong nearly every time. I used my keyboard and to use that to guess and I did much better
I understand this video the best of all Ur other ones, so now know why i can't sing or play music. I repeatedly missed ALL of the them in even level one! I have good "normal" hearing, but i'm "tone/pitch deaf" even though i can hear just fine when music or singing notes are going up or down. I just can't identify them. So Thank you! At least i know now.
Same here. Don't give up! Tone deafness is absolutely curable. I speak from experience. I am not completely cured but I am way better than I was. I too could not identify most of these notes but with trial and error I could pick them up on the keyboard. ..
Not tone deaf. Just doesn't know the notes
tnx. you made me feel better about myself
that is definitely not tone deafness dude. i play like 8 instruments but i didn't get all of these right at all
In the first lvl. I got 7 notes right.
From lvl. 2 on everything went to shit.
The 'answer' piano is slightly flat
It sounds flat on some of the E. all of them that i thought were e flats were E natrual and i got confused
My piano i play on everyday is flat so it explains why i was able to figure them out easilly
Did you know Tibetan music is fretless. so they play in fractions of notes. Like E and a 1/4, E and an 1/8th...they could have like 60 notes in one octave.
THAT would help you in Western music.
You know I thought the same thing too, I got most of part one wrong because of it, lol.
F sounds slightly E
It bothers me that the second time a note plays it's really flat and out of tune.
Just Music THIS. its the on screen keyboard vs piano sound played first, I've never compared the software sounds so I hadn't noticed but there is a slight 'twinge' sound after the second key is played and I went wtf is that and then you realise the keyboard is flat...
Me 2
Oh thank god. I can't really tell, 'cause I am still learning hearing stuff by ear, intervals and such, but I would pause the video to figure out what interval the previous guessed note and the next you had to guess were apart, ya know, to figure out which note was next, and played it back several times and the note I had sung was a too sharp. I thought I was too sharp, but guess not
No wonder. Some notes would sound like the note a step below and the answer piano would show that I was incorrect even though I thought I picked the correct note.
That would explain why I was a half step off a few times
without black key: 100% accuracy
with black key: 0% accuracy
same.
Yeah, me too
Am I the only one that does not have problems with them? To me the first level with the black keys seemed even easier than the previous ones... weird.
@Mjay I don't think I have it. I didn't guess everything right, in a level I usually make a couple of mistakes. I started having trouble in level 8 and level 9 was very hard for me, I only got about 30% of the notes right there.
isn't it ironic that although i have played etude black keys i still can't recognize them >:((
When you guess C but it’s B flat and your excuse is you play a b flat instrument
Honestly same
I mean, Kinda right tho
I play an F Mellophone so I guess C for me is F
Me 2 I play a B flat cornet so mostly if it is a F I say a G
Right XD
110/110
I found every note super quickly using my piano.
Haha lmaooo
lmao same 😹😹
here’s my issue, i hear the note and i know the note and say it and then all of a sudden i’m like wait no it’s the other- oh i was right the first time

@@LucasHenrique-wg4ny :Djust kidding:) i found one at level 2 .the "C" note
You gotta work on it before testing yourself lol
Lol
Hahaha just practice you Vans do it
Did good until 9. Weird thing I noticed is if I was wrong I was only off by a whole or semi-tone
same I also was only whole or half steps off when I was wrong but capped off in level 8. 9 was a nightmare.
Back to school, or the neurologist's office for me. The three or four notes I got wrong were always off by a minor third (or augmented second, if you prefer). I think that's weirder (and actually quite disturbing). Cancel my earlier comment, obviously.
sammmeeee
What does it for me is that I'm perfectly trained in pitch and the piano yet I get it slightly wrong as I keep thinking that it goes up in scale like C4 to C5 or D4 to D5 instead of just sticking to the same scale of C4 to C5. Not to mention, the delay really throws you off.
Same!!
I find this video amazing for interval ear training. Simply singing along to the notes and identifying the next internal is a great beginner exercise to practice daily.
I've only begun working on my relative pitch. Here's my results:
Level 1 - 2 wrong
Level 2 - 3 wrong
Level 3 - 4 wrong
Level 4 - 4 wrong
Level 5 - 4 wrong
Level 6 - 7 wrong
Level 7 - 4 wrong
Level 8 - 7 wrong
Level 9 - 7 wrong
Level 10 - 9 wrong
When sharps and flats are introduced, I miss a lot of the obvious intervals. I even "cheated" by continuously ringing the "C" on my keyboard as a reference note.
Thank you. Train more and re-visit this video to see if there is any change
A honest man
cheater.......lmfao
Great idea 😂 💡
I did that too lmao
I’ve been working on relative pitch ever since I realised I could figure out the chords to songs quite quickly. That was a year ago and near my relative pitch is almost instant. It took a while but i think it was worth it. I got a perfect score and it’s extremely helpful because I am in a band and sometimes we have to improvise and it makes it way easier to lead and i know if someone is doing something wrong and how to correct them. It’s worth the time. Get perfect pitch. Batteries not included
This is why understanding do re me fa so la ti do and intervals it makes the basis of developing relative pitch and allows you to measure the distance between notes with your ear and triads are also important 😂
What happens is I lose the tonal center of C as 1.
as the levels go up.
That's because of the atonality that's introduced on level 6. C pretty much loses its role as tonic.
Yeah i literally just know the song "do re me" of "the sound of music" and it starts on C and has been stuck in my head for years so i remember it lol. Give it a try it might work for you too
After like lv7 I still manage to only miss 3-4 but I hear the tonals B and D.
As someone who did really well on this, after you lose the tonal center of C you need to toss it out the window and focus on what the relationship of the last note you heard and the new note you are hearing to figure out the current notes pitch. I found that sometimes one note after another in around level 7 or 8 there would just be certain chords played like b flat minor. Levels 9 and 10 i think are more like random notes and i struggled more on these but still did really well
that works for me, I hear the syllable
What’s interesting for me is that there are some notes I know perfectly, and then I mess up the rest.
The reason is that I have synesthesia (I associate colors with music) and that I’ve learned to have perfect pitch with certain notes like C, F, and G because I recognize their colors without fail. Notes like F# and Eb are notes I associate with notes of certain songs (how I started out learning F and G) and I’ll never mess either of those up, either.
But for me, all the sharps/flats look relatively alike in my head, and the notes A, B, and E all mix up because they’re almost the same shade of blue by themselves without notes to surround them. D is usually easy to determine, but since it changes colors depending on context, if certain notes are played before D, I’ll mistake it for an E, B, or A. And then the sharps and flats are too easy to mix up (though, surprisingly, I got them all almost perfectly in this, so maybe I am learning).
Throughout this whole exercise, it didn’t seem to get any harder for me. Just, the notes I know, I knew even until level 10, and the ones I have trouble with, I always mixed up from level 1. So... idk 😅
That's honestly super cool! I never thought about how synesthesia could relate with relative or perfect pitch, but it makes sense!
You said you had perfect pitch in another video make your mind up lmao
@@Alvis44 Since that point in time (in which I left this specific comment) I’ve trained myself further and I don’t mess up on any of the notes anymore. Self-taught perfect pitch, I wholeheartedly advocate that such a thing is real, mind is made up. Other comments came to exist after my achievement.
@@sophiaredwood5825 well it sounds like you already had the initial potential to have perfect pitch. For people who dont hear sounds in colors they cant overtime just develop perfect pitch. Scientifically impossible its proven.
@@Alvis44 Ngl, I have been wondering about this too. I find it plausible that I might be more predisposed than most people to learn perfect pitch. Apparently my grandfather was naturally brilliant with music, so it might be genetic.
At the same time, I personally feel as if it’s not impossible for other people - just probably much more difficult. I think everyone has a natural level of pitch recognition and then they’d just have to work from there.
A bit random, but if you’ve ever heard of MCR’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” there’s an intro note to the song (G key on the piano) that thousands upon thousands of fans recognize instantly. (I personally don’t listen to MCR, but once I heard about this specific phenomenon, I got curious enough to look into the song.) Apparently, so I’ve heard, you could strike the G5 key in front of a fan and their mind will automatically make the association. It’s so common that people in the community call it being G-noted. They hear the note and know immediately it’s the beginning of that song, know immediately that it’s a G.
Of course, someone like me sees that and goes, “Anyone can do it then.” Which might sound like a bit of a stretch, because, well, it’s one note in one octave. But funnily enough, G5 was my very first note, too (not with that specific song, but I digress). The way I taught myself perfect pitch involved taking different songs and finding target notes within them - memorable notes, ones I knew so well that I couldn’t mix up if I tried. And then I would listen for those notes in the real world or in other songs. It wasn’t me pausing my music and going, “Is that a C#?” but instead, me going “Is that the first sung note of Dear Theodosia?” and then listening to the same section over and over until I figured out the answer. Then eventually, I got so good at building the association between unnamed note + Dear Theodosia = C# that I eventually didn’t even have to go into that second layer. I just went, unnamed note = C#. The same way MCR fans can hear a G5 and know it’s a G without even having to really think about Welcome to the Black Parade.
Anyway yeah, that’s my theory. Not totally credible, I know. I’ll still back it up with everything in me.
I won’t lie, synesthesia and naturally good pitch did help me on my journey learning perfect pitch. (Actually, learning perfect pitch was so straightforward for me that for the majority of that journey, I had no clue that that was what I was actually doing; I was under the impression that ALL aspiring musicians taught themselves what I was teaching myself and that it was fairly common.) That being said I don’t want to outright restrict anyone else from making the same journey. I believe that learning perfect pitch isn’t fully impossible for anyone. I think of it a lot like learning a language, honestly. It involves quite a bit of translating into another, “first” language that you can understand when you’re starting out. And then the more comfortable you get, the less translating you need to do, and then eventually after years of work it becomes a universe of its own in your mind and that first language isn’t a factor in that second language anymore. (I haven’t successfully learned an actual language before, so take that with a grain of salt. But I can guess that’s how it feels.)
I guess it’s just whether or not it’s worth it to spend years upon years training perfect pitch rather than just learning relative pitch or getting good at reading sheet music. At the end of the day, it’s not the biggest deal anyway. Still, that’s my take.
30 years ago I was well trained in hearing notes and durations, it was part of the course I took to be a musician... but I could realize that I missed part of my ear development. My result was: 0 mistakes in levels 1 and 2. Then the average was about 4 to 5 mistakes per level 'till level 9 and then it was catastrophic!
Damnit, I always guess the next one over.
same
That's good enough there are some people who guess way off
That's usually what happens with relative pitch /: I thought a note was c and it was a g once..
The keyboards a bit flat thats why
Yeah same ;-;
0 mistakes, beat every level. I have relative pitch but not perfect, just lots of self-training.
How did you train? I have a bad ear and I'm looking to fix that.
@@shaharsaydof5045 u cant develop perfect pitch if ur over like 5 years old tragically
@@shaharsaydof5045 you have relative pitch because you practised those notes, and use one reference (whatever it is) to tell the pitch of the notes relative to the reference sound you hear or memorize in your head. Perfect pitch can only be developed when you are a little child, and with it you are able to instantly and instinctively tell the pitch of any sound (not just the piano), without using any references you hear or that you may have memorized by practising (like you do in relative pitch).
@@shaharsaydof5045 Yes, you think you aren't using any reference but you started off with a reference sound and that memory is stored subconsciously in your brain without you realising. You will probably forget, or have to hear it again, if you stop practising for a very long period of time. Also, since you trained yourself and throughout you playing or practising, you probably heard several notes played, so that helps your brain with memorizing reference sounds and patterns. If you can go and tap any object other than an instrument (e.g. with a pen) that can make a sound and you are able to instinctively tell the correct pitch absolutely instantly to more-less the correct cents, then you would have perfect pitch. If you can do that instantly with any sound (even if you have not heard it before), and without using a reference sound, then you have perfect pitch
@@shaharsaydof5045 take a look at a video with Charlie puth where they test his perfect pitch using several different sounds that aren't made by instruments, and he is able to tell the correct pitch, even if it's slightly off/ detuned - instantly and without using a reference sound
when I took music theory in high school, I discovered a little life hack for myself (I was the only choir student in my class).
using Solfege was a life saver when recognizing notes, especially because 'Do' typically starts on C, and in the key of C.
I don't think I have perfect pitch, but I'm lucky I know my way around lol

I didn't realize i was doing it until this video but whenever I'm listening to music and I know the opening note, I imagine a keyboard in my head and follow the notes as the melody moves via intervals. it was just those tritones and raised fifths that got me near the end. I'm also a pianist so I guess that helps :P
This is harder than I thought ....at least now I know what I need to work on ......(I was encouraged to learn this by watching claire crosby's perfect pitching test )
GUYS don't get discouraged! In three days i went from failing after level 3-4 till almost up to level 8! my trick was to associate every note to a song and I can say that helped alot!
i think we teach music kind of backwards in the way we do language and this method is probably more natural for a lot of people

Did u ever get better
I did ok to begin then progressed to 1 or 2 right in the upper levels. I even began to get higher and lower notes confused. NOTE: I have made a part-time living as a musician and singer for 15 years - paid engagements. A soloist nonetheless. I am good at it. I know because this is the feedback I've received from many hundreds of people. I worked on it for years and years prior to public performances. I have to memorize instrumental parts to songs and l listen to recordings of my practice to know where I make vocal mistakes. It is in no way a natural talent. I just persevered.

Even though I have a perfect pitch but sometimes I get the notes wrong by a semi tone or even an octave.
I was 8 when my music teacher told me I can identify pitches
I got 1 wrong in level 7 and I do not have perfect or relative pitch and here is how I did it.
I used songs and passages that I have played in the time I have been playing my instrument and found key notes in those passages like:
A: Follows up to Bb because in band we always play F, G, A, Bb to tune.
A#: it is my tuning note.
B: In my combo band I played a song where everyone started on concert B natural.
C: A passage in one of the songs in my wind ensemble went A, Bb, C.
C#: C# to D# is like Viva La Vida.
D: In Crazy in Love by Beyonce the hits are D's (and also Megalovania "sigh")
D#: La Campanella is a famous piece that goes from low Eb to high Eb in one of the phrases.
E: While auditioning for my district 10 honor band one of the passages started on an E.
F: it is the first note in our tuning phrase, F, G, A, Bb.
F#: it is the first note in the phrase if I play F, G, A, Bb up a half step (yes that is how I find that out).
G: I played a song in 8th grade that went G, A, Bb ....... G, A , Bb, A, G, F, F, G.
G#: It feels like it needs to lead up to Bb.
Once the flats and sharps were introduce I was lost. Need more ear training. Great video
I'm either a whole step up, low, or on point.
I passed level 1 flawlessly. Level two made me second guess myself and I was off by a single note for the first few, but I caught on to it quickly. Level 3 was easier than level 2 when I stopped second guessing it. Level 4, I was off by 1-2 notes at first, I had to go back to the reference point and take a second to re-contextualize everything. It worked out
First time practicing relative pitch

Level 8: 4/11

Level 6 - 7/11
Level 7 - 9/11
Level 8 - 9/11
Level 9 - 10/11
Level 10 - 10/11
Level 1: 0 (but almost got fooled by the low octave B)
Level 2: 4
Level 3: 6
Level 4: 7
Level 5: 5
Level 6: 3 (Startled by the sudden flat, but surprisingly got low mistakes)
Then after that, my inner reference got messed up because of the flats/sharps, also probably because I lost focus
Level 7: 5
Level 8: 9
Level 9: 6
Level 10: 7
But one thing I notice is that I can distinguish when it changes from white notes to black and vice versa; it's just mostly a step or half-step off so I think that's good idk
Yessss...how are you doing now? I'm just starting out...any suggestions?
I could only do the first one, and after that I would get some right, or get them like one off. I am proud of myself since I just found out what relative pitch is, and I’ve never tried this before.
I started to screw up at level seven, because my ear started to lose track of what the C sounded like. It would have definitely helped if they could have played the C, and then the note, so that I could also work on my intervals. :)
I memorize notes by associating them with a song or melody I like and that way I could identify each note without much effort. Here's my list for you:
C= First note of the bass solo of "True Faith"
C#= First note of the guitar melody of ' "Treat You Better"
D= First note of the bass riff of "Blue Monday"
D#= First note of the bass solo of "Crystal"
E= The "Maybe I just wanna fly" - part of "Live Forever"
F= The "Panic is on the WAAAY!" part of "Gas Panic!"
F#= The first vocal note of "Stop Crying Your Heart Out"
G= "Don't Look Back in Anger" - the first note of the chorus
G#= "Numb" - the first note of the chorus as well
A= First note of the bass melody of "Elegia"
A#= First bass notes during the "chrous" of AtLA's main theme
B= First note of one of the "Champagne Supernova" guitar solos

I was hitting a good stride of missing three, but my brain got tired of deciphering notes, so by level 10 I wasn’t focused anymore. I want to practice and get better at this! I haven’t had much formal training, but I love to sing!
Very good exercise for relative pitch. Never missed a note. It was ab easy one even at level 10. I hope you all enjoy it. Good luck!
Most humble conservatory snob:
Round 1 - 6
Round 2 - 5
Round 3 - 7
After that I honestly stopped paying attention to how many I was getting wrong but 9/10 times I was only a semi-tone or a whole step off.
A couple big jumps which did throw me off quite a bit but I'm RELATIVELY happy with how I did, never actually tested my ears before so I'm quite impressed
However I i feel revisiting this video will soon just become about memorising the order of the notes instead of the notes themselves
My ear is horrible after like level 6...
Jon C, think you mean terrible.
Death is horrible.
My hearing is terrible.
Peace!
Luke Day You are correct, terrible is the right word. Thanks!
same I can't get a single one correct
I'm completely tone deaf like I've played the piano for like 4 years and I barely passed the first level lol
@@subliminalslove612 its time to find something different to play with ,if you played piano and u cannot pass level 1
1) 10/11 (didnt try much)
2) 11/11
3) 11/11
4) 11/11
5) 11/11
6) 11/11
7) 11/11 (started being hesitant with identifying but got the right notes in time)
8) 11/11
9) 11/11
10) 9/11
In my opinion this would be much harder if it had started adding more notes to be played at the same time..
"didn't try much" and got wrong? you have to be a magician to get every other one right and get one wrong in the first level. if you are that good, you don't have to "try" to know what a white key is. I call bullshit.
I honestly passed with flying colors. I've been developing my relative pitch since the beginning of the year. I just found this quiz out now but I was finally able to know each note on its own a couple months ago (D and F kicked my butt). Now I need to work on a bunch of other music theory stuff, but I'll make sure my mind will B natural. Teehee
hey whats your progress now? can you play songs by ear?
@@trishnav6516 i haven’t been as focused on music theory to be honest so no! however i’m now obsessed with drums and i’m taking lessons and so i’m gonna try to get back into theory somewhat
@@billiejoetoe yeah do whatever makes you happy dude♥️
I've tried two ways to do it: one way is to try to repeat referring to C in my mind when I hear a new note, this way might get distracted more often when the level goes up and to overcome the tonal gravity, you might need to convince yourself the black notes are passing notes (but this is not a natural way for me); Another way is to use the current note as a standpoint and think about the interval, I do find the improvisation & transcription experience help me in recognizing the correct key quite fast.
I was a bit puzzled by this video, maybe because I just came from quarreling with the "perfect pitch" guys. Doesn't everybody have relative pitch recognition? If not, why do we bother writing music at all?
petre Tepner yeah I wondered that too. I guess it just gets hard if you have to single out notes from chords, as in ugly chords rather than normal tonic chords. I’m 100% sure that would kill me
Almost everyone has relative pitch, yeah. Not sure about tone deaf people tho. But like, people who never spent a day in their life making music, or learning theory, or whatever, can definitely not tell the exact distance between notes and such. I guess I don't quite get what's leaving you puzzled. Relative pitch is something you have to train.
Saying someone "has relative pitch" is a weird statement, maybe that's what this is about? Mostly when people say someone has relative pitch, they mean trained or developed relative aka being able to identify a note by hearing a reference note. But yeah, everyone has relative pitch, or everyone (I think) can develop (trained) relative pitch.

I've been training my ears some months until now but not like this. I've been training interval recongnition. My training is working so I could recognize a lot of intervals, but its hard to keep this C in my mind. And when you put the altered notes in, is really hard to keep this reference C in my mind, especially when you play Db.
I also lack of training highier intervals than octave and decendent intervals.
Good vid!!!
To be completely honest I am quite proud of myself that I didn’t get 0 on any 😂 also most of my answers that I got wrong were mainly by only a whole note of a semitone.
Overall NOT TO BAD! 👍

My 9-year-old-son 0 mistakes in all levels after short training (I sometimes help him but I'm not a professional musician). He started playing the piano 3 years ago. His teacher says he's talented but unfortunately nobody is interested in his perfect pitch if he's really got one. Soon I'll put the film on the Internet.
I’m relative pitch since I was in first grade so here’s my results:

This showed me a lot about my relative pitch. I found that a lot of the times I should just go with my gut. there were a few times where i was back and forth between two notes and every time, my instinct was right but I didn't want to believe it. There are a lot of notes that i have memorized and its almost impossible for me to miss them, and only a handful that needs a little work. my goal is to hopefully develop what will be at least similar to perfect pitch. and while it will never be the same as someone naturally born with it, it will hopefully be close enough.

It’s the sharps and flats 🤦🏻♀️ I’m pretty consistent in C major but when the sharps and flats get thrown in there, it throws me off.
Edit: I’ve only been working on developing my perfect pitch for about a week tho so I’m pretty happy with it so far
Luna Pearl hi, how have you been working on it ?
You mean relative pitch. If you are one of the like 0.01% with perfect pitch you would be able to tell all of them without having heard any note before to relate it to.
Part of the difficulty in hearing an interval is performance related. For example, a major third would typically not be played "hard," whereas a perfect fourth often is, although does not have to be. Therefore when a major third is played hard, the performance of it contradicts the interval and it can lean the listener towards hearing the third as a fourth. Major thirds are typically a harmonic extension of their previous note thus forming one harmonic idea, whereas the fourth (and others such as a second) is representative of harmonic change thereby lending those intervals towards more demarcated performance.
Dang, 70% I got correct and 30% I got wrong because I answered 1-2 semitote higher or lower

Guess I could use some extra training time. As a singer, this is something I will need to work on improving
Damn, all these comments make me extremely jealous. Are you all musicians or something? I got them all wrong
I play guitar and got 2 at 1st 3 at 2nd , then took a look a the comments, got sad , stopped the video.
Some few people have this skill since they are Born, they Just need to use it, but I think Most of the guys Sith good results learned a relative Pitch over the periode of some years. (I am 16 years, and Play since I am 5 different instruments, and I also sing often and try to improve in both. Now I have a very good relativ pitch and also some Kind of perfect pitch [I can identify most notes and can hear if the C isnt in tune, but thats still not a perfect pitch])
I'm a classically trained double bassist and composer (playing for 7½ years, and writing for 7), and I got a total of 8 of these wrong. It's okay to not have as many of these right as the rest of us.
I do play the guitar, I’ve been playing it for 2 years, I got about like 6 right in the first level lol. I kept on guessing a note down, which was annoying.
I am a piano musician of 7 years. I never compose lol. I just read music sheets and play it with right tempo. Guess what? My music teacher said I am tone deaf and it's real lol. I exist. I can't sing well because of that, thats why i choose to play an instrument instead
that was a fantastic video. i have lately been working on my ear training. i can now listen to a song and sing along to it, then i walk to my piano to try and figure out a certain note, and i can most often get within a whole tone. So i have relative pitch, not perfect pitch xD . i will def be watching this vid more to work on my ear. i acc found that my ear got better as the levels got higher because i was just improving.

I was really surprised I did so well xD I haven’t done such a test before and I think this result is very solid
Relative Pitch is more important, but it isn't essential for a musician. It's just an advantage.
Here are my scores:
Level 1: 11

Level 3: 10
Level 4: 8
Level 5: 9
Level 6: 7
Level 7: 3
Level 8: 3

Interesting exercise!
I just go really near to the note.. only miss it for about a tone or semitome..
I used the previous note as reference bc i continuosly forgetting the beginning C...
Also I play guitar for 8 years.. so i assume i developed a relative pitch during this years
I've trained myself to have pretty alright relative pitch, though I haven't done very much musicing in the last few years, so this was a good exercise to see how far the skill has decayed for me.
I got 1 note wrong on the first level, 2 on the second, 3 on the third, then 5 on the fourth, 6 on the fifth but only 5 wrong on the sixth and seventh, then I sort of went off the rails being only able to guess one or two notes out of the rest. Toward the end I was even getting my personal home base of C and Bb confused, which I guess makes sense for someone who started out on a Bb instrument.
it is kind of jarring when the comparison tones are a cent or two off from each other but that's kind of how a lot of less produced music actually does sound. This video is in better tune than any school's practice pianos, anyway!
i did all right, so i should play like beethoven?
? Why
Why is that linked with Beethoven?
@@catbellss6877 Because Beethoven -is- was a god at piano
Isaac Bolton ??? So was Mozart, Chopin, Wagner. What is so special about Beethoven
@@catbellss6877 That was probably just the first person he thought of that has relative pitch (and perfect pitch)
we got a couple of them but honestly harder than we expected. I’d say neither of us has relative pitch, but we genuinely enjoyed the experience. thanks for sharing this video! 🫶

So, people with perfect pitch, trained or natural, can also make mistakes, don't be dissapointed and don't stop training if you don't get a note or two right.
I played marimbas for a few years. The notes were labeled so eventually I got used to what each note sounds like. Being able to see each note labeled on the piano is what helped me, especially for the sharps and flats

When the piano isn't in tune T oT
What you should do 1st to establish the key is play the major triad. The 1,3,5. Play it once and then do the notes because sometimes the ear can hear different keys. For example when you first play C and then D. I heard D as a 6th Minor and not a 2th minor, which it is in the key of C major. Whether written or just by ear you need to establish the key your in
73 out of 110
Actually I did almost perfectly in the first 5 levels, and then with flats and sharps I lost my sense of pitch ahah
Ive started learning it where to remember the last last note in your mind and the one it just played to compare the next notes because they might be closer to the current note and easier to compare how many notes apart they are. Like i count up in notes with my teeth like 1 2 3. Tbh it actually works pretty well i was getting more right too.
Lol, it's extremely easy for perfect pitch people. I got everything right.
Something I don't understand: does perfect pitch need training, or are some people simply born with the ability to identify notes?
Ren Klein Wow that's interesting, thanks for the info!
Gavin Liuranium I believe that it is possible to memorize pitches. I can name any note played on the piano (my main instrument) and sing any note if I think of playing that note in my head. However, I couldn’t do that two years ago. It wasn’t until I really started listening to the notes as separate things than pieces in a song.
Ren Klein that’s how my brain works? interesting :D
So, I'm guitarist from Shymkent from Kazakhstan ( souther than Russia). Under 7 level, all was good, but at 7,8 and 9 level, I have had about 4-5 mistakes on each level. But suddenly at level 10 and 11, I had only couple of mistakes on each level. Thanks to author for this test!
i have a weird situation i cant tell if i have perfect pitch or not. I got 19/20 . any natural notes i can identify immediately but sharps and flats take me a couple seconds and i have to hear the natural note thats next to it, identify it and then know what the pitch is . so do i have perfect pitch ? i learned piano and guitar when i was around 9-11 yrs old. just providing context if it helps
PLEASE HELP I WANNA KNOW
@Akenzie its relative pitch
Peachy i know the difference tho , trust . if i have to think about it or relate it to a different note i hear in my head , i know im using relative pitch . but without a thought in my head i can identify the natural notes , using "perfect pitch". im weird help 😅😂
Akenzie Nah you aren’t weird don’t stress about it. Practice makes perfect lol.
Akenzie Idk, Maybe its like an advanced relative pitch or sorta downgraded absolute pitch. Usually people develop perfect pitch at super young ages just look at all those 3 year old prodigies 😭 since you started at 9-11 yrs old you might have absolute pitch bc it can be sorta learned by some older kids and adults. its when u can tell what the absolute pitch of something is but not necessarily recognize it instanty. You should try testing and take my words with a grain of salt.
only had time for the seven five levels but I'll definitely come back to finish this off! The mistakes I made at each level were as follows:
Level 1: 1 mistake
Level 2: 1 mistake
Level 3: 0 mistakes!
Level 4: 2 mistakes
Level 5: 1 mistake
Level 6: 3 mistakes
Level 7: 6 mistakes
I'm sure that when I do the harder levels I'll make more mistakes, especially since as I got to semitones I just made all out guesses
I am so horrible, it is embarrassing!
i keep getting the g note right over and over thx mcr
As someone with perfect pitch I find it so weird that most people can’t recognize notes instantly, or even at all
It's funny because all my life I've listened to music and tried to tap it out on my fingers guessing the relative pitch but never having been able to play any instruments or know music theory and only in the last few months (I am almost 40) have I bought a keyboard and actually tried to learn. I didn't even know this was a thing.
I really though I'd be good at this based on what I think I hear but in reality it is SUPER HARD. I got most of level 1 and 2 (only missed a couple on each) but clearly I have anti-perfect-pitch, I am sure I know it then hit the key I think it is only to discover I was way off.
I find it frustrating when no one else realises that something is out of tune, to me it’s so obvious and it annoys me so much that no one else cares!
same haha. it’s a feeling of the notes having a really distinct and unique sound and then getting confused over whether how people cannot remember /identify a note . to me it’s just too easy and really recognisable
Got them all correct. I was told I have perfect pitch but didn’t really know what it was.
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY
Panic! at the twenty one chemical boys I actually used that chord pattern in my head to identify level 9 LOL I would sing the notes relative to G in my head to identify them
I'm a guitarist of about a year and a half, a trumpeter of about 6 years and a pianist about about a year and a half( a realllyyyyy long time ago)
Level 1: missed 3
Level 2: missed 8
Level 3: missed 7
Level 4: missed 7
Level 5: missed 7
Level 6: missed 5
Level 7: missed 8
Level 8: missed 10 (lost focus)
Level 9: missed 11
Level 10: missed 8
(My most common mistake is confusing an E for a D)
Something I did to help me was a paused mind way through level ten and sang low c, g, high c, g, low c, low g. Being a trumpet player, I have the pitch of c, g, and high c memorized decently but have always had trouble of identifying it amongst other notes so I just basically had to reenter my brain if that makes sense.
Same. I can't feel the difference between notes E and D. It's confusing sometimes
Level 1 no mistakes
Level 2 one mistake
Level 3 one mistake
Level 4 one mistake
Level 5 three mistakes
Level 6 five mistakes
Level 7 five mistakes
Level 8 four mistakes
Level 9 eight mistakes
Level 10 eight mistakes
I thought the first four were promising, but after that it was abismal.
My son Geovanny Francesco Verdezoto Velasco scored 108 points, it was amazing only 2 mistakes in level 10th. What a great pitch.
Level 1 - 0 notes
Level 2 - 0 notes
Level 3 - 0 notes
Level 4 - 0 notes
Level 5 - 0 notes
Level 6 - 0 notes
Level 7 - 0 notes
Level 8 - 0 notes
Level 9 - 0 notes
Level 10 - 2 notes go wrong.
Pretty easy just lost concentration
I got them all with no perfect pitch. Three years ago I would've sucked so bad at this which shows that relative pitch is a skill that can be acquired, unlike perfect pitch.
The key thing is to SING out loud, whatever your relationship with music is.
I’m failing level 1... should I be worried?
lol same
Play an instrument
If you haven’t had any musical training (instrument or singing) then no. But a small keyboard of you want to get good at this for some reason.
same... i play guitar and uke and i feel like i should actually be worried
Nice video. It's a high level to start at though. I have started my ear training videos at a very basic level so that everyone can start building their ear thoroughly from the ground up.
Started fucking up at level 5
SavingPrivateDick has

What I learned is that I need to be more confident. When doing it I second guessed myself and got it wrong nearly every time. I used my keyboard and to use that to guess and I did much better
