Musical Listening Test

Welcome to the Musical Listening Test

We are interested in studying musical perception ability in the general population. The following 2 tests, developed by Isabelle Peretz (University of Montreal), take less than 8 minutes each. They involve listening to pairs of tunes and deciding whether they are the same or different. Once you have completed both tests you will receive your scores.

In order to take the test you need to have speakers or headphones attached to your computer. Please set the volume on your computer to a comfortable level. Test it by playing the following clip.
