Test your Musical Ear - The Delosis Test

[Trish Santer]

For a bit of fun, just give this a go!
Won't tell you my scores, unless you buy me a pint at Bennet's next time I'm there - not likely to be until Feb, so start saving now!
Oh yippee, I've just become a crotchet: a misnomer for sure as I'm a really nice person!

Just had a go: haven't had the scores back, but found the second part quite easy (maybe because I was a drummer in a past life) but the first part less so (difficult to be sure sometimes if a "wrong" note was played). I guess it might spoil things for others to hint at what was the difference (as I perceived it: may be completely wrong) between the two tests. When I get the results I may also discover that the second test was not as easy as I imagined! Overall though 30 snippets in each test proved slightly tedious: hard to keep the interest up after the first ten or so.

[By the way if you want to fritter away some time on more trivial pursuits there is another thread buried in the forum somehwere about the whole nomencalture business, including the origins and ramifications of achieving "crotchet" status.]

If you enjoyed that test, why not have a go at these ones too.

They should be really easy for all those folks who only learn their tunes by ear!
It'd be interesting too, to see if all those folks who only learn their tunes by reading the dots, are actually pretty rubbish at these tests, after all!
