It is possible that you perceive it differently. Do you have abnormal sound perception, e.g. inability to distinguish pitches or timbres, or to hear rhythms?
For example, if you hear a note, can you find it on a piano keyboard? Likewise a chord? Do you know what people mean when they talk about high pitches and low? If you hear a violin or a trumpet, can you tell which it is? Can you tap out a rhythm after hearing it? Can you appreciate poetry written with regular scansion and rhyme?
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.
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?
No.
(He doesn't mean first time, simply if you can recognise when you've found it)
