General instructions for dictation
-
The information you need for the dictations will be given to the right of audio title (e.g. /4; 3 flats means the time signature will feature a '4' on the bottom and the key signature will feature 3 flats)
-
The opening clicks will always give you the beat unit; do not feature it in your dictation
-
Make sure all harmonic dictations include the melodic line, the bass line, and roman numerals
