Distorted Tunes Test
Links, Music 12/29/2005 |According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders’ Distorted Tunes Test…
> You correctly identified 26 tunes (out of 26) on the Distorted Tunes Test. Congratulations! You have a fine sense of pitch.
I’d certainly hope so! Some of those samples were almost literally painful to listen to.
(Though I will admit that years of violin and voice training, being able to plunk melodies out on nearly any instrument I’m handed, and having a slightly musical family — we all sing, Kevin plays cello, upright bass and bass guitar; dad plays guitar, banjo, and some viola; mom plays violin, piano, and organ; at least half if not all four of my grandparents were music teachers at one time or another — might have some small thing to do with acing this test.)
(Maybe.)

26/26! Woohoo! Looks like band practice is paying off. Now if I can only convince the other guys in the band to play everything in MIDI piano.
