	Good idea but some of these have notes other than quarter notes and some have rests too

	yeah I like the idea of the quiz too but the sheet music isn't really accurate, I missed some that I would have gotten if half notes had been where they belonged instead of all quarter notes.

	Yeah, I knew about that, but I was just going by memory so I wasn't really sure of where those notes were. I'm sure almost all of these aren't really accurate. I just wanted them to be accurate enough for someone to be able to figure them out. Most of the songs are pretty simple, so hopefully it isn't that big of a setback. Thanks for the comments!

	Like the idea, but agree with the first two commenters. The rhythm is too important to just leave out entirely.

	Britchenhauer:	Oct 29th, 2010 at 05:00 GMT	1 point
	I see what you guys are saying, I'll probably try to figure it out tomorrow. :)

	I think you've made a far more interesting kind of quiz than your original idea. With correct rhythms and rests, the quiz would essentially be "Can you read music and do you know these tunes?" But without these elements, the quiz tests your ability to recognize the song based on pitch and contour alone, which is a really interesting brain teaser. So I'm going to advocate for going in the other direction--take out the stems, barlines, and time signatures.

	I agree with the last comment as well. With the correct note lengths and timing I think this quiz would be too easy -- after all these are very basic, well-known tunes. Trying to guess at the rhythm from just the note pitches is much more challenging (and rewarding). It took me most of the 10 minutes but I got 9 of them -- with precise scores it would have taken me 2 minutes to get them all. Good quiz as it is in my view -- very unique.

	To the last two comments: That's more what I was going for. (Besides the fact that I didn't really know the note lengths... heh.)

	@RandallPinkston and @Britchenhauer: I think that's an interesting idea for a quiz ... "can you name the tune from its sequence of pitches," but that's different from what the current quiz title leads you to believe it'll be. This is especially true after the first excerpt does include rests, and describes the music accurately.

	Britchenhauer:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 23:31 GMT	1 point
	I definitely get what you're saying, HPZ, and I think that would be better. Would you mind if I stole your title suggestion? :)

	HPZ:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 16:23 GMT	1 point
	@Britchenhauer: Not a bit! If you're adopting the "sequence of pitches" form, you might want to tweak the image a bit ... lose the time signature, the bars dividing the measures, and the rests.
