Test for Absolute Pitch

This test consists of 36 notes altogether. If you'd like to try it, write down the name of each note when it is played. The test begins with four example notes, which you can use for practice. Then there is a pause, which is followed by a block of 12 test notes. Then there is a second pause, which is followed by a second block of 12 test notes. Then there is a third pause, which is followed by a third block of 12 test notes. The notes within each block are separated by four seconds of silence, which gives you plenty of time to write down the answers. Guessing is ok, but humming isn’t!
