Many people worry that they might be tone deaf - including musicians... 

Have you ever experienced:
• A teacher or friend told you music isn't for you - that you are "tone deaf"
• You sing your favourite song and somebody tells you you're "out of tune"
• You just don't seem to hear the detail in music that other people do...?

If any of these are familiar to you, you've probably wondered:
- Is there something wrong with my ears?
- Am I just not a "musical" person?

• Tips, tricks and guidance for learning to sing reliably in tune.
• Easy sharing so you can tell your friends that you are not tone deaf - and you've proved it.
• Recommended next steps if you pass the test and want to explore the world of music-making
