For those like me that aren't musicians it'd be an oportunity to have fun while learning about Music

Seriously, guys, please think about an occasional TwoSet Academy episode where you touch on stuff like this to teach musical concepts and theory in a casual way. My theory sucks despite singing and playing for years; I run on instinct but I can’t explain *why* stuff is like it is. Most people learn well when it’s edutainment, right?

All my life I thought I was tone deaf because I couldn't sing. I started learning the violin a year ago (thanks two set! ) and have no problem recognizing notes and playing what I hear. I think there is a popular misconception that poor singing =tone deaf and that is not true. If I had known this wasn't true I would have started learning the violin years ago.

[@molekyyli]

Similar story. Except I knew I wasn't tone deaf cos I could hear and recognize my singing was out of tune. But I believed it meant I have zero musical ability = pointless to try to learn to play anything. So I wish just as you I realized that earlier that it's not true.

[@b1000days]

Yep, a lot of people can't connect their voice to the notes they're hearing very well without training, but it is something that most people can learn to do, which is awesome :D

[@eihples]

Think of singing as hand-eye coordination. A lot of people just never developed the connection between hearing the tone and producing that same tone with their voice because that's something that is practiced

[@antine1279]

I'm the same, well I didn't really think I was tone deaf just really bad cause I sing like a strangled chicken xD I can hear what I'm supposed to sing in my head but I open my mouth and something else comes out and it's not right. I guess that's the definition of "not tone deaf just don't know how to sing"

[@sharonsabu365]

I think the 1 in 20 statistics being tone-deaf is too high. It's more likely that lots of people just aren't used to tonality. I think having any kind of musical background just develops their sense of tonality to a level where non-musicians seem tone-deaf. I have no musical background and I have never really thought about notes or tones until I started watching Twosetviolin.

[@elissahunt]

I agree that stat is wrong. Tone deaf means a person can't identify pitches at all. A tone deaf person can hear rhythm, but but can't distinguish melody and harmony. However, everything is a spectrum. Just because a person can't always identify if a note is flat or sharp doesn't make them tone deaf.

[@sankalp_gupta]

Yeah it's actually like that, I had a keyboard since I was a kid and that developed my tonality (and also my interest in music) such that I got all the answers, meanwhile my friend who got a guitar some time ago can't yet play a melody by ear

[@MaggaraMarine]

Actually, according to Wikipedia, that statistic is true: _"Studies have shown that congenital amusia is a deficit in fine-grained pitch discrimination and that 4% of the population has this disorder."_ But "tone deafness" is not an accurate description, because too many people who actually aren't tone deaf still label themselves as "tone deaf", because they are bad at singing or feel like they have no musical talent. _"Symptoms of receptive amusia, sometimes referred to as "musical deafness" or "tone deafness", include the inability to recognize familiar melodies, the loss of ability to read musical notation, and the inability to detect wrong or out-of tune notes."_ Basically, if you can recognize the familiar melody someone is playing, and you can hear when they make obvious mistakes, you aren't tone deaf. All in all, if you enjoy music, you probably aren't tone deaf.

[@angelmccoy4884]

I failed this test but I don't feel bad. I always thought the definition of tone deaf was not being able to tell if a song was out of tune. lol

[@thepeanutgallery1699]

@@MaggaraMarine Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's bassist, lyricist/singer for most of The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, greatest hits) is supposedly tone-deaf. His singing is certainly off/not great, and maybe he's just going by fret positions, but I have a hard time chalking the truth of it up to "tone deaf" - not completely anyway. Just average dude. Meanwhile, you listen to someone like Whitney Houston (not a fan, personally), she's dead-nuts on every note every time without correction - so that's perfect pitch, but also an amazing amount of vocal control. I've played in (folk instrument) bands as the anchor everyone else tuned off. As the instruments warm up, they sharpen, and people have to be able to pull out a bit, retune, or the collective group goes up from 447 to ~450+ after they're warmed up. The problem is (because of my perfect pitch) I'd lip down and stay at 447, and then >I'd< be the one out of tune-with the collective- even though I was the one they were all supposed to be tuning off of, because they thought tuning was a "set it and forget it" thing. It's really frustrating being in the wrong because you're so right, lol.

Tbh it was quite obvious in the previous videos with Ibo, that he just isn't a trained singer/musician and that he doesn't try too hard either. I'm sure he could turn out as a good musician with a good ear if he practices hard. I don't know if I would have scored higher than him before I started to learn the violin and I never considered myself tonedeaf. But I'm glad his musical skills are redeemed after this video 😄

he's very tone sensitive for sure, being able to hear that 2hz difference was something i expected even twoset themselves to maybe struggle with. Musicality, however, I think most people who end up as good mucisians will be a bit more of a natural in musicality than Ibo. Not to be mean of course, but I just think a certain amount of musicality has to be there from the beginning. Some kids you'll see are such a natural in singing and stuff, without the parents making them do it. Idk

[@blauespony1013]

@@minephlip Nah, his inability to sing does not make him a bad musician. Instruments are for the "not needing to sing" part in life. And not every great musician is a great singer. Rhythm on the other hand is universal.

[@salia2897]

​@@blauespony1013 There are different aspects of singing. Many great musicians might not have a great voice. A great voice requires training and the physical properties for it. But they can hit notes when singing, because they have an imagination of the pitch they have to produce. And even with very little practice that is enough to sing a melody.

Honestly, Ibo is quite musically atune! (lol) He can hear note relationships and rhythm- he’s just not been trained. It’s hard for him to reproduce the sounds with his voice (match pitch) which, again, warrants more ear training. Now we know that he is not tone deaf, I am totally up for some Ear Training or Theory with Ibo content! He seems like a great & receptive music student!

[@monkeymusic3318]

I have taught music for over 40 years and I do not belief there is such a thing as being "tone deaf", the term is a curse that closes the door to a person's musical potential. I wish musicians should stop using it (sacrilegious it is). It would be more accurate to describe it as "tone ignorance". It is where we all start on the journey to developing relative pitch, and eventually perfect pitch (the ability to recognize each pitch as accurately as we can recognize different colors on the spectrum). Some people ignore the subtleties of sound and tone, to the point they have never bothered to compare pitch, and have yet to develop the ability to discern differences which are obvious to many, because they have paid attention. Do not let this video shake your confidence in your sense of pitch, we are all at different developmental levels when it comes to relative pitch, all musicians are naturally improving this skill over time.

[@eriks2962]

I kind of agree with you. Though I think there may be people who are tone deaf. I am color blind. My eyes don't see the way yours do. No amount of training can fix that.

[@molekyyli]

I think there are but they're pretty rare.

[@salia2897]

@@eriks2962 Very different though. For color blind people certain receptors in the eye either do not work or react to some degree to the wrong frequencies of light. So there is a physical cause in the eye. "Tone deaf" people can actually hear all frequencies as long as they can hear and identify other sounds and especially language. The ear seems to detect sounds quite fine and the brain is able to analyse them as well. So I don't think there is a physical cause in the ear. As I am not a doctor or biologist, I cannot be perfectly sure about that, but I have never heard of such a cause or even as "tone deafness" as a medical condition. So it might be a mental limitation, maybe more similar to a learning condition. And people with such conditions can usually improve with training.

[@wombat4583]

@@salia2897 There are people who can't hear all frequencies. Even as human we usually only hear a certain range. Some hear less than others so it's not a stretch some/a few can't legitimately hear differences between some since that seems like the grey area between hearing and hearing loss. Or that perhaps some people can technically hear them but it's a brain thing where it doesn't process as different.

[@salia2897]

@@wombat4583 We cannot only usually only hear a certain range, we definitively only can hear a certain range. And yes, there are of course people that have some physical damage to their inner ear or some other issue. But that is not what is referred to as tone deaf. People that are "tone deaf" can typically completely normal hearing. I've looked it up, and yes it is an issue with the processing in the brain, so it is a cognitive issue. So it is much more similar to something like dislexia than it is to color blindness. You cannot train a color blind person to see colors, because the biological ability is just not there. You can train most dislexic people to read to some extend though. It is just much harder for them. Of course brains are different and mental ability is also. Some might not be able to learn to distinguish simple cords. But "tone deaf" is not a medical term and saying someone is "tone deaf" makes it sound like that it is not something they could be able to learn. But most of them probably can.

I'd say "It feels warm, there's definitely a warmth to it, makes me think of a sunny day." Or if somebody asked me what F minor feels like I'd say "It's very melancholic, like you just can't let go of the melancholy. It's like if you're grieving over somebody's death. You can't just let go of that grief. Same with F minor. Except for Beethoven, Beethoven somehow makes it sound very dramatic, but otherwise, yeah, deathly melancholy."

IDK - the first "tone deaf" videos with this guy didn't have me convinced. He could hear the passages and identify them, which to me isn't "tone deaf." Not being able to sing them back in-tune is more a lack of training/vocal control. I have perfect pitch but can't sing for sh!t - drives me nuts, because I can't hit the right notes! Not because I don't know it's not the right note but because I lack the physical control over my voice to do it. But play any note and I can tell you what note it is and the deviation from 444.

@@eiralinnea Tbh, I didn't hear it either, but I'm listening with bad headphones while sitting in a train, so I have an excuse xD Then again, I also didn't manage most of the questions with more than one tone in them, so yeah...

[@wakingtheworld]

@@eiralinnea Same, they all sounded the same to me and I'm learning the violin. Yikes! Hope my 'ear' improves with time!

[@ioalt]

With this Hz test, besides being able to perceive a difference, you also need to remember what the previous note sounded like, even if it is just for a few milseconds. So yeah, hearing pitch involves a lot of memory (or represention, basically imagining/recalling the sound as you heard it).

[@SpiceToMeatChew]

I knew all the answers to the rest except the slight hertz one which I kept replaying and still couldn't hear the difference. I think my question is : Are you hertz deaf?

[@skykidmomo]

When Ibo did better than you 🤣 tbh though I had a feeling he wasn’t tone deaf 🥰🙌 great video guys! A lot of fun!

[@azure5273]

This was so fun to watch. I took that test too, and to my surprise, not only am I NOT tone deaf, but can recognize down to 1/16 of an octave. As someone with no music education (other than Twoset of course), it WAS ✨fascinating✨. This was also why I commented on last video with Ibo, that he is not as tone deaf, too.

[@vivianv.0724]

Welcome to Twoset Academy!! ✨🙏🏻😊🎻💯

[@OneSneakySloth]

I love Ibos confidence 😂 seems like such a great character haha

[@semin777]

6:25 they were so shocked that he's not tone deaf and then he's like "I never said I was" hahahaha I think my musicality level is about the same as Ibo's, so I was happy to find out that he isn't tone deaf 😁 I really like the videos with Ibo, he has such a warm personality and it's always fun to watch their friendship. Also, Academy sounds fun, I'd like to learn some basics 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@hazeld8016]

I play 10 instruments. The only one I couldn't do was the one where one note was a few hertz lower than the others. Even after I knew the answer, I couldn't hear the difference. YET THIS GUY KNEW AND SAID IT WAS EASIER THAN THE PREVIOUS CHALLENGE??? EXCUSE ME??

[@dickottel]

I still don't hear it 😿

[@FarzynoMusic]

I couldn't hear it either and I supposedly have perfect pitch

[@HarveyHirdHarmonics]

It was also the only one I couldn't hear. But then I also can't distinguish or hear the different temperament tunings. For example well temperament sounds the same to me as equal temperament. But intervals, hearing and recreating melodies etc.: No problem. I can also hear whether my guitar is tuned to E or to Eb. And I absolutely don't have perfect pitch.

[@icedtea241]

I thought it was super clear for some reason?? like the first time through I knew immediately because 4 just sounded slightly off, though I can't explain why. Maybe it's just because I play 15 instruments and sing so I just have so much experience with tuning? Idk man, I can totally understand how that's hard for a lot of people. I don't have perfect pitch either so I'm surprised it was so easy for me

[@thecus8282]

I heard that 4 was different but struggled with numbering sounds 1-8 and differentiating B and C. I think its because in the 2hz challenge you had 4 sounds that were exactly the same whereas 1 was slightly different. But in the B C challenge all the instruments sounded completely different and i had the same reaction as ibo. they didn;t sound like they had anything in common

[@BHarri1-s5d]

I honestly love this guy he’s so chill and seems like a really kind soul

[@yang88939]

i love the ibo content we've been getting recently! hes so funny and wholesome

[@lalalovejuby]

And this is how I learned I was tone deaf..

[@sabrinai]

Hearing the intervals is actually really hard and I'm so amazed by how Ibo got some of those right!

[@mairzyd]

There are simple “cheats” to help you recognize intervals when you hear them. For example, the first two notes in “Here Comes the Bride” are a perfect fourth.

[@loud_hailer6240]

You three are a whole vibe

[@backtoyang2576]

How does Ibo not know that Eddy has perfect pitch? I assume everyone around them knows lmaooo

[@nikonijn]

i think he was joking

[@mnm2156]

aaahhh this was lovely! love the energy IBSET! 😂 Needed that

[@sakuryanacc]

Welcome IBset violin!! Glad you guys clear it up! So Ibo just need vocal lessons 😆 P.s. I failed that one about 2 Hz difference and the 9th major/minor thingy at the end 😂

[@sherafwoday]

Part of me wants to see the counterpart to this video even if it isn't music related, Ibo testing them on something he's great at that they've got little experience in. Just so he can return fire with some "~*~I N T E R E S T I N G~*~"s of his own

[@beejhudson946]

Yessss! Brilliant idea, or should i say, *^f a s c i n a t i n g^*

[@mayapple6580]

Lol twoset’s reaction is like my grandparents’ reaction when they realise I know how to use chopsticks (I grew up in a western country).

[@d.b.8203]

"Wow you're not tone deaf!" "I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS TONE DEAF"

[@ThomasSantosCanal1]

i want a whole series of this, now bring a singing teacher to see if he can learn to actually reproduce the pitches

[@anakins_]

Can't wait for the ✨️fascinating✨️ merch to come out. PS: Please make more videos with Ibo! He is so loveable and I love your dynamic together!!! ❤️❤️

[@darioadaseq]

We need the merch

[@alltherandomstuff7354]

Hey guys, I wish you'd make another playlist of all things bubble tea and this kind of content ~ that would be great if you guys do that so that it'll be easier than scrolling down from recent to past videos and vice versa 😊

[@libbykat3958]

Ibo's personality is taking over the channel - Threeset Academy! 😆 I laughed and replayed so many sections of this video, especially Ibo's revelation that he never thought he was tone deaf, that was all Twoset's projection...tut tut, now we know what they think of all common plebes untrained in the musical ear🤨😆

[@rockinghorse13]

Favorite part: Eddy demonstrating difference between major and minor Ibo pointing at Eddy and Brett: Difference between you and you? On a side note, I used to be a Chinese flute player and am now a violin beginner and I scored worse than Ibo

[@joel2856]

Video Suggestion: how to deal with "bad" music days. Every musician has had times where they have a recital in a few days time and new things are going wrong which have never happened before or piece they've always played perfectly suddenly is a problem piece. How do you deal with these times? What advice do you have? Should I leave the rehearsal for the da? Should I plough through? Should I carry on doing it or should I move onto something else? I think people would really appreciate this advice as it happens to everybody but I don't think it's talked about enough 😅 P.S. - love you guys!

[@Casutama]

I'd love that!

[@ibocetinkaya_]

Told yas all! I'm evolving! 🐣>🐔

[@MissMiseryGloom]

So we've dropped iNteResTing for fascinating. Got it XD. And vids with Ibo have become my favorites. Love you guys!

[@mmessi72]

"I never thought I was tone deaf." 😆😆 If it makes you feel better, Ibo, we didn't think so either. A new one word meme is born for two set...."fascinating!"

[@CL-jf8qs]

Ibo reminds me of the brown bear mascot with round glass eyes and a pure, friendly smile that gives warm and kind bear hugs.

[@remilua]

I got everything right, but that answer to the 5-note question was just a feeling rather than actually hearing the difference. How Ibo could get that so confidently is truly FASCINATING.

[@utha2665]

With a bit of training Ibo will be TwoSet's next Ling Ling. Well done Ibo, you have a great sense of humour, a really likeable bloke. And it's *interesting* that Brett and Eddie like the jazz chords, describing them as more sophisticated. We are learning so much today. 😂😂👍👍

[@redcat5678]

When there is ibo, the funnist thing of the video is brett and Eddy's reaction 🤣🤣🤣

[@lorewalkermaohao4602]

My dad is tone-deaf. However, it only applies to him singing. He can hear a note and look it up on the guitar or piano to hear which note it is. However, he will 99% of the time sing the wrong one. This is the case with many tone-deaf people which I think includes your friend. Think of it as a... Musical dyslexia or aphasia. They think the right thing is coming out, but it's not.

[@NotFinnish]

Instrument specific absolute pitch is a thing. Especially with notes that are particularly ‘interesting’ on an instrument

[@elliotkl]

That's me. I'd listen to songs as a kid, and then just play them. My mother went and told my first instructor about that, and my instructor just shrugged and said that's how some people are, and didn't seem surprised at all. But I have always struggled to read music - like, I can look at it and play the notes on it, and with a LOT of effort maybe count things out very slowly so the notes are the right length, but with no musicality. I had to listen to my teacher play it or listen to a recording so I knew the notes and rhythm and just how the piece sounded in general, and then I could play it fine (and about three decades later, that's still the case...now I'm on KZbin looking for recordings so I can learn new pieces). I've been told I have near perfect pitch, because I can't just hear any note and name it, even if I could hear a note and promptly play it on my violin. Going through this video was fascinating (lol) however, because I was watching it for fun, not to test myself...except then I kept getting confused by TwoSet's surprise at Ido getting things right because the right answers seemed so easy and obvious to me. Like, obviously that was an A not a B, and obviously #4 was the one 2 Hzs lower than the other notes...that type of thing. If you just played a random note and it was an open ended "what note was that" I'd maybe fail, but with the multiple choice "is this A or B" it was so easy. It helped to imagine that I had my violin and needed to play those notes, and then it became easy to tell if it was an A or B. Now I get why my mother was so surprised/confused at my playing songs by ear as a child, because this test was so easy and I was baffled as to why TwoSet's reactions were so surprised when Ido got them almost or entirely correct. Anyway...I had no idea that instrument specific absolute pitch was an actual thing, and it's nice to finally have a name for it!

[@drgokilz]

I was in a choir all through out middle school. At some point in my childhood, albeit very briefly, I learned the violin, piano, flute, and guitar. I’ve been told I can carry a tune. But as I played along taking the quiz with this video I started questioning whether perhaps I am tone deaf somewhat…

[@katam6471]

I know, some of it was really hard.

[@xandraxandra1437]

Me too, I thought I could ace it, but no. I'm worse than Ibo...

[@drgokilz]

@@xandraxandra1437 I feel ya! I also did worse than Ibo 😆

[@umapessoa5343]

I played flute and started taking voice classes at school with some friends. The teacher literally told me to stop singing and get the flute to 'help others get the right tone' xD Became a (flute) soloist tho

[@molekyyli]

I feel prior starting to play guitar (still not long) I struggled less doing a test like this. I don't know why. :D

[@corgicake5185]

congrats on 3.8m！！！🥳🥳hope 4m coming quickly！！！

[@sabrinai]

Plot twist: Ibo isn't tone deaf after all, Twoset just made him to fit their narrative 🤣 Edit: and the second plot twist: Ibo just made them believe he was tone deaf, so he could come back to the channel.

[@brockwilliams2782]

Hey twoset, thank you for everything that you do, you always have helped through my orchestra career,(I play the cello) you always told me to practice and motivated me to practice. Thanks to you and some people around me, I got into the highest orchestra in my high school my freshman year, thank you

[@chloepeters1962]

I've played classical violin for 11 years, been told by my teacher I have the best pitch sensitivity of her students, BUT I CANT HEAR THE STUPID DIFFERENCE IN THE HERTZ TEST 😭 my life is a lie

[@panopticemu]

sooooo there are very few people that are actually "tone deaf". He can *hear* the difference between the notes, what he lacks is the coordination between hearing and reproducing those notes. it's also possible that there's a physical restriction preventing him from hearing his own voice properly. I'd like to see him try reproducing sounds using a mic and on/in ear monitors with noise isolation to see if there's any improvement. the volume of the monitors might be quite high to overcome the buzzing that he's likely creating in his head when he talks... he does seem to be using a lot of nasal amplification which would be adding to that

[@SACWorks]

I swear this "Fascinating" thing is going to be the new "Interesting"... 7:06 - Lol, and Editor san made it even more striking. 12:18 - Brett went full asian accent mode there. (From what I can hear) Edit: The fact that I barely scraped stage 5 is saying a lot... I almost failed the other half. A miracle I got the last question, which is supposed to be harder, correct. Idk... (Just realised how I got the answer there. Raise the volume. You can just about hear it.

[@sam.polina.d2787]

Quite difficult questions they ask there, brings back warm memories of my solfège teacher. Adds up to new fascinating things seen, heard and learned today, the other being with chatty nice kids and teens all afternoon, they start talking about the most intricate complex philosophical questions, then right away ask something like if you've ever eaten snails, how often you shop new clothes and how much your pet weighs. Workouts for the brain indeed. ✨

So much fun to watch and challenge myself to, I wanna see you do this with others in a competition

[@melissagodwin1594]

“Do you have perfect pitch?” Well SOMEONE hasn’t been watching TwoSetViolin…. 🤣

[@linaria17]

I feel like people nowadays use “tone deaf” really loosely. Like “tone deaf” means completely unable to parse pitch, but most people just use it to describe anyone who they perceive is “below average” at recognizing tones lmao (my mom used to call me tone deaf even though I played clarinet and was first chair in band lol)

[@barkjenna]

I wouldn’t mind some two set academy videos. I haven’t been part of music program for a while so todays review on minor and major chords was really fun. Ibo is totally relatable and charming

[@c_b.p]

Fascinating plot twist. May be Ibo is likely not tone deaf but he (and also us) is learning a lot. I would definitely join the Two Set academy!

[@caprichiko9584]

there has been another word added to the twoset violin dictionary guys: ✨Fascinating✨

[@katam6471]

I'm not that surprised he did well. You might very well have a good ear, but still not be able to SING the right notes as he had to to in the previous videos. The voice is an instrument that must be trained, which is harder for some people than for others.

[@auntjess]

I love Ibo! Also surprised after the previous video, TS didn't title it like "We took a tone deaf test...what happens next is shocking!" :D
