This is a music test that a number of you, who are musicians may enjoy - no cheating now.

I scored 25 out of 30 so the pressures on because I don't play.

Huh... 26/30... now if only i knew what they meant by saying "slightly different"...

Now if only helped my playing, too...

my Dad scored 28/30 on a similar test (a harder one), and he's soon to be 60 & never played anything...

25 - I'm with you, Roy!!

Don't think that's too bad Howard, Sheena has done well with 26 and her dad even better at 28, best score I know of, second name not Tchaikovsky
is it?

The usual suspects won't be up yet so we will have to see.

No, Roy, not Tchaikovsky, slightly different.

He always had a good ear, not absolute of course but close to that. I might be a bit biased towards my Dad, though, and perhaps the test he passed wasn't hard enough or wasn't actually harder than this one, i'll try to make him pass this one and then we'll see...
I just wonder what's the average result for this one? I thought it was about 24-27...

Probably a bit too early for you Steve

Roy, i have a strange suspicion... do you work for them?!

royclough · Post by **royclough** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 4:37 am

Sheena, if only, I don't work for anyone at the moment since my previous company felt that they no longer needed my services, 20 years loyalty meant ziltch, it's this site keeping me sane at the moment.

27. Wow, I think I'm going to brag about this to my teacher.
Didn't it seem like almost every one of the "Different" were out of key? Kind of made it a little easier. - Mark

I know that Sheena don't worry about it

sowhat · Post by **sowhat** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 5:39 am

Mark, you're a man! Take a bow!
I felt the "different" ones were very different... i could've probably been looking for subtler differences, and given i had a terrible headache in the morning... well, in any case, i don't pretend to be an "ear", so that was quite fair!

So, are you waiting for a letter from them, Mark?

firstbassman · Post by **firstbassman** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:52 am

A letter?
I think a plaque would be nice.
(I AM joking.)

Uh, oh. Post # 100 coming up soon. I better save it for something special.
