5/15
15/16
Between taking guitar lessons, having music classes in high school, singing four years in the choir (baritone), and being married to a serious pianist and piano
teacher for 25 years, I guess I learned a bit about music.

Oh no! Though you answered a few of these basic music terminology questions correctly, you unfortunately did not answer enough to achieve our Elite Music IQ title โ but thatโs okay. Frankly, though many of us at one point in our lives have learned or heard these basics about music, it takes someone with a fine tuned memory or an active hand in music to pass this quiz, so we donโt blame you for missing a few. Guess itโs time for you to study up! Start some glorious piano lessons and get rockinโ!

Not bad, when someone has never learnt to read music.

Didn’t start playing piano until I was 26 though.
I scored a 15/16. I can’t believe that I was able to recall so much from the short time I played trumpet in seventh and eighth grade band! WOW!! ๐บ
