Olsem wanem tes bilong tone deaf i wok

  1. Traim saun. Yu bai harim 4 not i go antap, na dispela bai helpim yu long makim volyum i gutpela long yu. Saun i pairap tumas i no gutpela moa.
  2. Antap o daun? Tupela ton bai pilai, wanpela bihain long narapela. Namba tu i antap o daun moa? Ton bilong namba wan i senis olgeta taim, namel long 330 na 660 Hz, olsem na yu no inap lainim wanpela not tasol. Senis i kirap long 100 cents. Bihain long 2 stretpela bekim i kamap wantaim, senis i kamap liklik moa; bihain long wanpela rong bekim, senis i kamap bikpela moa. Dispela rul bilong "2-daun, 1-antap" i painim ples we yu bekim stret klostu 71% bilong taim [9]. Tes i stop bihain long 10 taim mak bilong senis i tanim, na risal bilong yu em mak bilong ol las 6.
  3. Ritim. Wanpela sotpela ritim bilong klik bai pilai 2 taim; bihain paitim bek. I gat 5 ritim.

Olgeta saun i kamap insait long brisa bilong yu; i no gat rekoding.

Tes bilong perfect pitch

Perfect pitch (absolute pitch) em pasin bilong kolim nem bilong wanpela not na yu no harim not bilong skelim wantaim pastaim. Long wanpela bikpela stadi long intanet, ol manmeri i gat dispela pasin i kisim mak i antap tru long olgeta arapela; mak i bruk i go long tupela grup, na i no planti manmeri i stap namel long tupela grup [1]. Planti bilong en i dipen long husat yu askim: klostu 30% bilong ol sumatin bilong musik long Japan na 7% long Poland i winim wanpela strongpela tes [7], na skul bilong musik taim manmeri i liklik na wanpela tokples we ton bilong tok i gat mining i mekim dispela pasin i kamap moa isi [6]. Planti manmeri, na planti musikian i save pilaim gut, i gat relative pitch: ol i harim ol liklik senis namel long ol not, i no not yet.

Wanem ol samting i senisim risal bilong yu?

  • Trening bilong musik. Planti yia bilong pilaim wanpela instrumen o singsing i mekim ol senis bilong ton i isi moa long harim [2][3].
  • Praktis long dispela wok yet. Mak bilong harim senis i go daun long ol fes taim yu traim, maski insait long wanpela sesen tasol [2]. Skelim narapela traim bilong yu wantaim dispela.
  • Ol headphone na rum. Headphone na wanpela rum i no gat nois i helpim. Liklik spika bilong fon i ken mekim ol ton i daun tru i hat long harim.
  • Putim tingting na taiet. Sapos tingting bilong yu i lus liklik long wanpela traim, mak bilong senis bai go antap gen.
  • Pasin bilong paitim ritim. Taim ol i paitim bek wanpela ritim, ol manmeri i save senisim liklik na mekim i kamap olsem ol isi ritim, olsem ol not i longpela i stap longpela taim inap tupela taim bilong ol sotpela not [10]. Liklik "asua" i save kamap long olgeta manmeri.

Dispela tes inap na i no inap tokim yu long wanem

Tes bilong tone deaf bilong Helibrain em wanpela gem bilong yau i amamas na i kisim tingting long ol wok painimaut. Em i no tes bilong harim, em i no painimaut bilong amusia, na em i no ol tes bilong painimaut i yusim long wok painimaut (olsem Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia) [11]. Saun long brisa na ol spika i no olsem ol tul bilong ples bilong tes, olsem na tingim ol namba bilong yu olsem mak tasol.

Sapos yu wari long pasin bilong harim bilong yu, olsem toktok i no klia, go lukim dokta o wanpela saveman bilong harim.

Planti manmeri i save askim dispela

Olsem wanem bai mi save sapos mi gat tone deafness?

Sapos yu inap save wanem long tupela ton i antap moa taim tupela i stap longwe long wanpela semitone (100 cents), ating yu no gat tone deafness: planti manmeri inap harim ol senis i liklik tru [2][4]. Tru tone deafness, amusia i stap long taim mama i karim yu, i stap long klostu 1.5% bilong ol bikpela manmeri [5] na ol i painimaut long en wantaim olpela moa tes bilong wok painimaut. Tes bilong tone deaf bilong Helibrain i givim yu namba wan tingting tasol, i no painimaut.

Hamas pesen bilong ol manmeri i gat tone deafness?

Klostu 1.5% bilong ol bikpela manmeri i gat amusia i stap long taim mama i karim ol, olsem wanpela stadi long intanet i tok, em i skelim klostu 16,600 manmeri i gat 18 i go 65 krismas [5]. Wanpela olpela stadi bilong 1980 i makim 4%, long narapela kain tes na wanpela bikpela moa mining bilong dispela hevi [12]. Planti moa manmeri i ting ol i gat tone deafness bikos ol i no save singsing gut; singsing na harim ton em tupela kain save.

Hamas samting perfect pitch i no planti?

Perfect pitch i no planti long olgeta manmeri, tasol i no gat wanpela i bin skelim stret hamas em i no planti. Namba ol manmeri i save kolim olsem "1 long 10,000" em wanpela olpela mak wantaim ol liklik data tasol [7]. Namel long ol sumatin bilong musik, mak bilong en i stap long sampela pesen i go inap klostu 30%, na dispela i dipen long hamas krismas ol i gat taim skul bilong musik i kirap na long tokples [6][7].

Yu inap lainim perfect pitch taim yu kamap bikpela pinis?

Ol bikpela manmeri inap lainim long luksave long sampela not taim ol i praktis planti, tasol tru perfect pitch i gat strongpela pasin bilong stap wantaim ol skul bilong musik long taim bilong liklik pikinini [6]. Planti musikian i yusim relative pitch, em harim ol senis namel long ol not, na praktis inap helpim dispela save gut maski wanem krismas yu gat [2].

Wanem gutpela mak bilong tes bilong ton?

Long ol stadi bilong ples bilong tes, ol manmeri i no save pilaim musik planti i save harim senis olsem 12 i go 35 cents, na ol musikian i kisim trening i save harim olsem 2 i go 17 cents [2][3][4]. Sapos risal i stap aninit long 10 cents, yau bilong yu i harim gut tru. Sapos i antap long 100 cents (wanpela semitone), dispela i narakain, na i gutpela long traim gen long wanpela kwaet rum wantaim ol headphone.

How this test works

This ear game has two parts and an optional third. First, two tones play and you say whether the second was higher or lower. The difference shrinks after two right answers and grows after a mistake, until it settles near the smallest step you can hear. That step, in cents, is your main score. Second, you tap back 5 short click rhythms. Third, you can name 12 single notes. This up-down method was described in 1971.
