    The document provides instructions for melodic dictation, which involves identifying the first note of a melody by singing up or down to it, writing its tonic sol-fa name, then memorizing as much of the melody as possible before analyzing each subsequent note by singing from one note to the next and writing their tonic sol-fa names above the staff. Once the entire melody is memorized, the dictation involves transferring the tonic sol-fa to absolute pitches on the staff in the given key, adding bar lines and rhythms, and including the time signature.

    Melodic dictation

    • Identify the first note correctly: sing up or down to the first note from
    doh in your head. Worry about nothing else other than getting the first
    note. This is very important!
    • Write its tonic sol fa name above the stave – if you also get the last note
    as a bonus, do the same.
    • Try to memorise as much of the melody as you can – treat it as a whole.
    With each subsequent hearing, continue to complete your memory of
    the entire melody. Memorisation before analysis.
    • Analyse each note once you’ve memorised it (or as much of it as you
    can) singing from one note to the next, up or down using tonic sol fa or
    by singing up or down from doh.
    • Write their tonic sol fa names above the stave.
    • Once you have the entire melody, transfer the tonic sol fa to their
    corresponding absolute pitches on the stave (you will have been given
    the key).
    • Add bar lines – bar lines are something you hear.
    • Fill in the rhythm within each bar.
    • Add the time signature.
