I can't read music, but I've never really tried to learn. I can distinguish between a violin or a trumpet,or high or low pitches. No on the poetry.

No on the poetry.

This sounds significant. What about the rhythm part?

I can tell if something rhymes.

I meant the, "Can you tap out a rhythm after hearing it?" part.

Can you recognize tunes?

Yes but I'm well below average at this.

The tests aren't about reading music. You hear a note or a chord; can you find it on a keyboard?

Comment author: James_Miller 03 August 2013 04:55:38AM 1 point [-]

No.

(He doesn't mean first time, simply if you can recognise when you've found it)
