Abstract
Abstract Melodic dictation seems to stand as an important focal point of under-graduate music training. Most aural skills texts—if they address listening at all—feature melodic dictation. For example, the first half of Kraft (1999) is devoted to melodic dictation, and the first sections in all sixteen units of Benward and Kolosick (1996a) are labeled “Melodic Dictation.” Some universities, colleges, and conservatories offer entire courses titled Dictation; others—with course titles such as Ear Training or Aural Skills—nonetheless typically advertise melodic dictation prominently in their course descriptions. Working with melodic dictation can help to develop some very important musical skills such as musical attention, extractive listening, short-term musical memory, musical understanding, and notation.
