Little bit of fun here.
Theory and sight reading.

I didn't :(

I thought that only the last two chords make the cadence, I see that isn't the case. And I got Rallentendo wrong, though in hindsight I shouldn't have, given that I do know all the others, so should have identified the one correct option. D'oh. And I didn't recognise the symbol in question 14. Is that a double sharp?

I got 14 out of 15 because i misread the diminished seventh as dominant seventh. I knew it was diminished but my english reading skills weren't obviously up to scratch as I clicked the wrong answer. Misjudgement on my part. Gutted.

I read notes at a rate of one note every 3ish seconds (yes, I recite every time in my head the appropriate amount of Every Good Boy or FACE or All Cows Eat Grass or (my favourite) Greedy Buggers Deserve F All).

I don't think this is meant for me :)

9, although having to work out what every note was from middle C means I'm rather slow on note recognition and I've never encountered the alto clef before (otherwise I'd have crept into double figures).

Most mistakes from not knowing what the funky clef is that's neither bas nor treble. Any clues?

I didn't know either: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef[/url]

11/15, incl some guessing.

Alto and tenor clefs were both in there.

I still got 9....

15/15 for me, although I should have seeing as I teach music.... I'll admit to having a head start on the intervals between clefs too as the music department I went to used a similar exercise to work out the code for the keypad to enter!

Flute is my first instrument and I used to play a lot of jazz on it so my sight reading (on treble clef) and music theory is really good.

My problem is that I've never bothered to learn bass clef, and I've never played bass in a band that required me to read. So from a bass point of view my reading is awful.
