… that anyone would get this test wrong. So please, if you do, let me know! Or not.
I found this via Scott Spiegelberg’s site right here.
And yes, I know I’m a musician and I’d better get 100% correct on the test (which I did). I suppose some folks don’t hear the mistakes, but it’s just really difficult for me to imagine. Of course if a mathematician gave me a test I know I’d totally bungle everything up and I suppose he or she would be baffled by my inability to understand the problems. But still … everyone hears music and it just seems too easy to me. Am I totally naive? You may let me know that as well. Or not.
The test was fun, though. I laughed out loud several times. I suspect you will too.
I find it difficult to believe that someone could create two spelling
mistakes with my name. (Actually, I don’t. It gets
mispelled all the time. The best one was a student who spelled it
“Speagleburgher.”)
Heh … you got me!
I had meant to go back to your site and make sure I spelled it right and had stuck in the quick name as a place marker. Then the pizza was done and, well, the BBQ chicken pizza took precedence. I’m really sorry, Scott! Funny thing is I was about to post a blog about my name and how I am NOT “Pat” or “Patti” and I know how irritating it is to have a name misspelled. 🙁
This test is pretty simple…for those of us who teach lessons! Heck, hearing wrong notes is a big part of my daily work! 🙂
Yep!
But did any of the tunes make you laugh out loud? Sure worked for me.
I’m still surprised when one of my students can play the wrong note in a piece when it is so clearly the wrong note. But worse yet was an audition I attended once; I was on the panel when a player was playing a piece with a repeating arpeggio. He/she played the same wrong note in each arpeggio. It was … well … astounding!
