Many people worry that they might be tone deaf – including musicians…

Have you ever experienced:

  • A teacher or friend told you music isn’t for you – that you are “tone deaf”
  • You sing your favourite song and somebody tells you you’re “out of tune”
  • You just don’t seem to hear the detail in music that other people do…?

If any of these are familiar to you, you’ve probably wondered:

Is there something wrong with my ears?

Am I just not a “musical” person?

The Tone Deaf Test app is designed by music education company Easy Ear Training to help you find out for certain whether you are in fact tone deaf – in just a few minutes!

3 Stages of Tests Evaluate Your Musical Ears

The app includes:

  • A fun and easy 3-minute interactive quiz which determines whether you are tone deaf or not
  • Detailed information about what “tone deafness” truly is – and what it isn’t!
  • Tips, tricks and guidance for learning to sing reliably in tune.
  • Easy sharing so you can tell your friends that you are not tone deaf – and you’ve proved it.
  • Recommended next steps if you pass the test and want to explore the world of music-making

Genius app!
“As a singer I hear a lot of people say “”oh I’m tone deaf so I can’t sing!”” And I’ve known that’s simply not the case. The real issue is your vocal folds not being able to replicate and reproduce the notes and needing to be trained. This app will definitely put that myth to bed, most people aren’t tone deaf at all.”

Short but informative
“I would love to get my mom to take this quick test. She has always believed she is tone deaf [ – another victim of an irresponsible adult making an offhand comment to a child.] After this I am convinced that it is just a lack of training and confidence. We used to sing together when I was a child, and since I got100% on this test, i know she can distinguish between notes.”

Great yet simple
I knew I wasn’t tone deaf but I felt like I need ear training. When I read about this suggestion to take this tone deaf test I was surprised how come I’ve never seen or heard about a test like this. I took the test. I’m not tone deaf I scored %97 (I was impatient though and didn’t even listen to the end of a note) so I was surprised by how simple the test was. Yet it is obvious that there’s just nothing that would give more accurate results than this test. Great job!

Hace lo que dice
“Siempre me han dicho que tengo un oído musical malísimo y he llegado a pensar que tenía amusia (en el programa explica lo que es), así que cuando vi esta aplicación decidí probarla y realmente las pruebas que hace son muy sencillas y rápidas y te permiten saber si tienes sordera musical o no. Si no tiene sordera musical la aplicación no te dará mágicamente un buen oído pero puedes conseguirlo con mucho entrenamiento, pero para eso hay otros programas en la App Store, y por lo menos sabes que es posible. [Lo único malo es que sólo está en inglés, aunque para mi no es un problema.]”
