Description:

The Pitch Grid Test is a relative pitch test that evaluates your ability to discriminate pitch-distances. For the test, the notes are laid out in form of a grid: There are 4 rows of octaves starting from C2 to C5. The number of columns depends on the selected the grid sensitivity. E.g. 100 cents correspond to 12 columns (chromatic scale); 33 cents correspond to 36 columns. In this way pitch-distances beyond half-step precision get assessed. The test starts with a grid sensitivity of 1200 cents. That is the grid consists of only 1 column. That means: to pass the test you only have to click in the correct row, in which the played note was played. After you have passed 10 questions, the test continues with a grid sensitivity of 600 cents. Meaning the grid consists now of 2 columns. Each time you have answered 10 questions the grid sensitivity decreases and the number of clickable columns increases. Therefore the difficulty increases you must listen more carefully to figure out the destination note - and thus leads to longer answer times. The Pitch Grid Test may look like an absolute pitch test. However, it is a relative pitch test. The last played tone is highlighted on the grid and marks your reference tone for the next question. Since you do not want to test grid sensitivities that you have already mastered, the Pitch Grid Test allows you to select the starting grid sensitivity for the test. If you fail to answer the ten questions for a given grid sensitivity, then the test stops. Your relative pitch score is then calculated from the last past grid sensitivity and the maximum time you needed to answer a question. To assess your relative pitch abilities, the answering-speed is crucial. Therefore, the answering time is also incorporated in the relative pitch indicator.

For immediate Release A Scientific Relative Pitch Indicator Media Contact: FelixTheCat@listening-singing-teacher.com By F. Rudin June 2, 2016 So far, no general test exists that gives a quantitated measure for the relative pitch ability. This is no surprise, if you consider the numerous possibilities in which this could be measured. For example, someone might recognize a major third if the major third falls in the range between C3 and C6, but not for higher or lower tones. Some other person might recognize perfect intervals, but not major or minor intervals. And you could go on listing limits of combinations that some person may or may not be able to recognize. This variety makes it indeed difficult to give a general assessment. Especially, considering that there are other musical systems than the equal tempered system. Another challenge is: How do you test non-musicians that are non-aware of the musical interval terms? To overcome this I propose to evaluate the pitch-distance discrimination ability. An aural specialist can measure your hearing range with a frequency and loudness response test. The result is an audiogram that shows your minimum discernable sound level at various frequencies. To eliminate side effects as much as possible, sinus waves are used during the tests. In a similar way, I propose measuring your pitch-distance hearing ability. Instead of using volume to determine your level of frequency hearing, this test measures your ability to discriminate pitch distances?that is, the presented pitch distances become smaller and smaller. To become a usable means of measurement, the test will be conducted in a specified, reproducible environment. Since the primary goal of the test is to determine your pitch-distance hearing ability, volume is not part of the test or used in the pitch-distance determination. You can do the test at any volume you like. The Pitch-Grid-Test measures your pitch-distance discrimination ability over a range of 4 octaves. Because of this wide range tested, this general measurement method will often produce results that are disappointing. However, since the test quantifies your pitch-distance recognition ability - independent of any musical interval knowledge, the test is especially suited to express the ability as a scientific means. The relative pitch indicator shows the pitch-distance discrimination ability in cents and the answering speed. About AlgorithmsAndDatastructures, F. Rudin AlgorithmsAndDatastructures, F.
