<p>Does it mean that the person is able to play music in his own head?</p>

<p>I can play and mix tunes in my head to produce really new tunes of music I reall like (but merely in my own head)</p>

2

<p>I tend to think of it as being able to stay in tune when singing, whistling, humming, etc.</p>

<p>I CANNOT carry a tune.</p>

3

<p>I think it refers to an innate or trained sense of which note is which. If someone sang “do re mi”, and you can carry a tune, you could repeat the specific notes that were just sang.</p>

4

<p>It means to sing a song in which all notes are the right pitch and nearly pitch perfect (not sharp or flat).</p>

<p>Something I can not do.</p>

<p>I always thought that “carry a tune” meant to pick up this thing called a tune and carry it across a room or something. It doesn’t seem that hard (lol)</p>
