One of the definitions of a tone-deaf – is a defect in the processing pitch and disconnect with voice reproduction. Some people call it amusia. According to the degree of complexity, amusia can divide into:

• Group A. They can not hear the note pitch and sometimes repeat the melody rhythm.
• Group B. They can not hear themself (not hitting the notes), but they can recognize the instrument note pitch.
• Group C. They can not reproduce a note, but they recognize the instrument note pitch and own voice pitch.

In recent scientific research, it was found that amusia is a consequence of abnormal development of one brain part, and generally, it was passed through by genes. Musical perception for most people can be corrected by hearing and singing training. However, there is an extremely small number of people who are unable to correct their hearing skills. It is associated with severe brain damage.

Why is this most likely not about you?

• I know this because I was from group A from my birth: I could not hear the pitch of a note, I could not repeat the melody, I could not beat the melody rhythm. It is especially offensive when other members of a family are musically gifted.
• Think if you can distinguish between male and female voices in most cases?
• You may enjoy listening to music even if you think you are tone-deaf.

It is a problem with two variables - hearing and singing – learning hears the difference between notes and learning repeating notes (voice control).

For me, the moment of learning to listen and sing with a professional teacher changed everything. Within a month or two, I finally started repeating notes. After a year, my hearing and singing abilities increased so much that I had begun singing in a choir. You also can learn and sing your favorite melodies by notes!

My name is Maria Semenyuk. I am convinced that you can learn to hear and sing. First, let's take a hearing test.
