I did a lot better than I should have. I am concerned that because the key remains the same that it is a lot easier than what perfect pitch requires. Reminds me of the Functional Ear Trainer app
I've heard that Mr. Ludwig and some other folks bitterly refused to wear 'those metal absurd ear-scoops nobody understands what are they used for' at the photo session...
5 out of 6 on first atempt I have known I have had absolute pitch for a while. I did find two issues with this test: In the lower octave, the note you need to choose for it to be marked correct is actually a tone lower than the note played. (e.g. the note played is G but the answer is F, or the note played is E but you have to click D to get a point. Once I worked this out I was able to get 6 out of 6 every time. It only applies to the bass octave - for higher octaves, the answer matches the note sounded.
Due to the randomness of the test, you can get the same note in the same octave twice in a row.
this is great! have been training on the piano to get absolute pitch as close as possible. using this test to compliment. looking forward to maybe an implemented game that can help us train this??
not tryna be rude but if you dont have perfect pitch (and barely anybody does) and youre older than 10 then youre never going to have it. Quasi absolute pitch is called quasi for a reason. On the bright side its really not a necessary skill and most of your favorite artists probably dont have it either. But anyone saying you can learn it after early childhood is selling you something. go for strong relative pitch recognition, its almost just as good and is actually attainable
Also its a 50/50 to get the first note right, and after that you get the name of the note that was played. From then on you can use relative pitch to get the rest correct, this test is useless and misleading. Even the list of famous musicians with perfect pitch is wrong.
No worries Mark, just follow TG's 4 step guide to get perfect pitch and you wont need to bother with that relative stuff anyways. Oh and don't forget to hit ToneGym's perfect pitch test on the regular to gauge your pitch superpower level!
@Mark Tomato Alley or just not across those large intervals. I think that most anybody who does toneGym regularly develops at least a bit of relative pitch.
Maybe the true value of this “perfect pitch test” is for people who are just coming on to ToneGym to try it and then try it again months later and see their own progress at developing relative pitch. We all have come to ToneGym for our own reasons I can almost guarantee that when I first started I would not have gotten any correct because my ear was terrible - I wish I had had the chance to take the test when I first started and then again now because I am sure there would have been a huge difference !
The test would be more accurate if it did not tell you if you got any of the 6 answers correct, until the end. I was able to reference the previous questions pitch to get the next one correct.
@Benjamin Jack, I was trying to make a joke, that if I guess the first note out of nowhere, then I have absolute pitch, and if I don't get the second one right, it's because I can't have relative pitch, so I must have absolute pitch :D
