    My wife claims to be tone deaf and she got 100% right. I've played Trombone for years, sang in the church choir, and I sing for residents at a convalescent hospital, and I missed one of the questions about resolution. Guess I have some work to do. I've always told my wife that she had a good voice and all she needed was some training. Maybe now she might believe me.

    I was convinced I couldn't sing but thought I'd try singing in a church choir. I was really discouraged by the end of the first practice because I couldn't find or hit the notes at all. I was all over the place. At the end, the choir director spoke to me and told me to sit with the tenors the following week. I'm a woman and had sat with the altos with the sopranos behind me that first practice. The following week I sat with the tenors with the bass behind me. Suddenly, I could sing. Perhaps your wife just needs to discover her range.

    The questions about resolutions require a bit of knowledge with chords and cadences. When I end any music on perfect cadences, it leaves a pleasant feeling lingering behind after. In interrupted or unresolved cadences, it simply makes you feel unsatisfied or confused like "is that it? Are there No more melodies or chords left to end what was just played?" Gets even easier when the learner keeps listening or practising scales. Most unresolved chords or endings seem to occur in songs using the minor scales and in some rare cases, even in the majors.

    How teachers can demotivate children like this. My first day in school, the teacher said "we are going to check each of yalls rhytm, clap with 1 second between every clap" at 4 years old I did exactly that, she gave me a bad grade.. I wanted to be a musician when I was 4 already, so I was very upset. Later when dancing in bars men also told me "you can't dance, you have no rhytm" while others told me I dance so beautifully. This year, at 38 years old, I finally started to do what I've always loved and wanted to do. Now I play guitar, sing, drum and can play any instrument and write beautiful music. Still shy, hiding myself in forests, but the other day someone walked by and yelled "WOW!" I immidiately stopped playing, because I thought they were annoyed by me, but when I came home and listened to the recording I actually heard the "wow!", long story short, teachers should uplift.

    I will say that neurodivergent people may also sound monotonous but not be tone deaf, it’s just a difficulty to understand when and how it is supposed to be used, or there may be a delay in changes in tone. I don’t have much inflection or change in my voice unless I try very hard to do so in a way that feels very unnatural or forced, but I still did well on this test and can still mimic pitch when I need to, but if he genuinely couldn’t differentiate it then that would actually be tone deafness.

I remember my father pulling me aside when I was little after a family karaoke, because he wanted to test how good my ear is. I have always had a really good ear for music, but I can't sing or play any instruments. I feel like blaming tone deafness is just an easy out for people. In my case my voice sounds horrible and I just suck in general. -Could I improve the sucking part with practice or training? Ya, probably. -Could I improve the sound of my voice?

    I got all 10 correct. Sometimes people are incorrectly called tone deaf because they can't sing a matching note-- they sing out of tune. The ability to sing in key is quite different from the ability to hear the notes correctly. Anyway, long ago was told I was tone deaf when I hired a teacher to learn to sing. After the first 15 minutes, she wouldn't take me as a student because she said I was tone deaf.

    I'd assumed for years that I couldn't sing. I decided to find out the truth, and enrolled for singing lessons My teacher asked me to sing various notes she played on the piano. She then asked me to sing a song I liked. I was amazed to be told that there was nothing wrong with my sense of pitch - my singing went off-key because my technique was faulty. Once I'd studied how to breathe properly with proper posture, and how to check that I was using the correct muscle groups, my singing improved by leaps and bounds. I don't sing off-key now, thanks to my wonderful teacher. I think you should seek out another teacher. Check that the person you choose is a properly qualified professional, and qualified to teach singing.

    Here's one thing about being supposedly "tone deaf" - I've been told on multiple occasions that I must be tone deaf since I can't carry a tune. The thing is, I can very clearly HEAR that I can't carry a tune, which in itself is a result of some form of slackness in my vocal chords (never bothered me too much as I never had any musical aspirations). But doing this test out of sheer curiosity I ended up with 10/10. So I have to conclude that if anyone ever tells you you're tone deaf, you probably aren't, and that person is probably just a jerk.

    i doubt they were trying to bring you down. more likely they just didn't want to hear it. people have a tendancy to not tolerate stuff that is audibly annoying to them. i'm sure with (lots) of time my sister could probably learn to sing , but as it stands she can't carry a tune in a bucket witha truck holding it for her. And I as a musician find her efforts to be like nails on a chalk board. and i can't stand to hear her try to sing for even 10 seconds. i literally have to leave the room to keep from saying any thing to her.

    I hate my old music teachers, now.. I did have some trouble with the harmony and resolution questions (could tell the difference, just wasn't sure which was supposed to be which) but I'm pleased I'm not quite as tone deaf as I'd assumed.. Speaking of my old music teachers, I suspect they didn't have much patience (they probably wanted pretrained students) and insisted I was tone deaf. I wasn't the only one, so unsurprisingly we were short of musicians.. My mistake, I guess. I always found it odd that I noticed differences in sound but assumed other people could hear something I couldn't (which does sometimes seem partly true. Also dog alarms tend to give me a massive migraine but no one else I know seems to be affected). I wish I'd come across this video years ago... But now it feels like a door that was closed to me has opened.. It actually makes me feel a lot better (there's a lot of stuff currently in my life having the opposite effect) and now I'm thinking of getting a new hobby.

    My brother is partially tone deaf but he and we (my family and his wife) have no problems with it. His singing sucks and he can't improvise on the guitar. He can reproduce songs on the guitar by memorizing but cannot play anything outside of his repertoire (basically any random chord progression or any melody). He sings mostly out of tune (mostly flat) and cannot tune the guitar by ear (he gets confused whether the notes ringing on two strings are the same or not). Despite his condition, he still plays guitar and sings albeit not on a stage. The point is to accept you might not be tonally gifted but can still enjoy creating and listening to music. I think the people telling you that you are tone deaf might just be stating an opinion/fact (unless they say it in a derogatory/condescending way). P. S. I don't know whether my brother can train to sharpen his musical senses because I think he has never attempted to seriously "fix" his shortcomings. We just laugh every time he failed my personal tone-deaf test and don't bother about it again until I regain my curiosity (regarding his "deafness").

    I had a music teacher/choir director in high school who always said, “Anyone can learn how to sing,” and I remember him saying that there was no such thing as “tone deafness.” He would always work with anyone having a hard time with pitch and put that person between two solid singers, so they could always hear the right notes. He’d spend a few minutes with them individually helping them listen to their own voices and “tune” themselves to meet the pitch of the music. He was such a positive, amazing person who never let anyone feel self-conscious, and he got kids previously called “tone deaf” to sing on key! I was a little harder for some and took a bit longer, but rare teachers like that have some kind of magic that mixes in with their patience to get results. Wish he was still around. Without him, I wouldn’t have ever had the guts to try to sing solos or try out for groups in college, and it’s been a part of my life since then that has kept me sane.

The 3 she got were all complete guesses too and I could tell. I think I actually found someone who’s genuinely tone deaf.

No matter how clear they speak, she can't seem to hear/descipher it.

The explanations helped, and the drastic contrast between the given really made it easier to identify which was which. I'm not musically inclined and I've been having trouble finding the right note to voice out sometimes. When I do hum or sing a tone in my head, the trouble is when I sing it out, I have a hard time finding the right pitch for some notes but in my head, I know what it sounds like. Nice test, I really liked the explanations.

    Thanks Ramzia! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. One of the bigger challenges every musician and singer needs to deal with early on is the ability to listen to ourselves while we sing/play our instruments. Which is crucial for us to ensure we stay in time and in key (in tune). This is a much bigger challenge than one might assume since this involves multi tasking. Our brain has a tough time focusing on just singing/playing by itself. The best way to overcome this is to work with an experienced teacher/friend. But If I can recommend a few exercises to get you started, Firstly start singing with your eyes closed. Yup just like daredevil and other super heros suggest, when one of our senses shut, the others get heightened. So closing your eyes while you sing will help free up your brain to focus more on listening. Secondly, sing along and practice with a friend (ideally one friend). When you have a partner to practice with, our brain gets more prepped up to interact than when we sing alone (which will improve our cognitive functions, reaction time and again heighten our senses) . Go get em Ramzia 😎👍 Allah Hafiz!

    I’m a guitarist. The secret to guitar is consistent practice. It may seem hard at first, but it clicks eventually. Just 30 minutes of practice every day will do wonders after a few months. And once you learn a few songs, always finish a practice session with a song you like. Guitar is supposed to be fun. I know so many songs now that I can put in my earbuds, load up a playlist on my phone, and play along with it for 3 hours before I get tired. And a tip if you’re interested in singing: Get a tuning app or guitar tuner with a microphone in it and sing into it while trying to reach certain notes. It’s the same principle as tuning your guitar, but you’re tuning your voice. This will make more sense once you learn how to tune a guitar. Our voices are instruments just like a guitar and some of us have to learn how to hit the notes while others just do it naturally.
