I knew someone once who loved music - we met through dancing, actually - and would sing aloud any time music was on in the car, even with other people present.

She was also, from my perspective, the most tone-deaf person I've ever met. Every single note she sang was horribly irrelevant to the song that was playing. But she belted it out anyway.
I'm curious where she would fit in this model
- chme 6y agoProbably as someone with an interesting character quirk ;)
- exDM69 6y agoIt is not uncommon for someone to not be able to distinguish the pitch difference from two sound sources, especially being able to tell if they're singing in tune or not. That's not at all the same thing as not being able to distinguish the two pitches from each other coming from the same source. I can tune a guitar relatively (ie. start with one string "in tune") by ear very easily. I can't for the life of me tune a guitar to a pitchfork or someone else in the band playing a tone that I need to match. And I can't produce a specific tone with my vocal chords or play along a melody by ear.
- brundolf 6y agoInteresting, I didn't know this distinction existed
