Steps for Taking Dictation
Steps for Taking Rhythmic Dictation
- Prepare your work space. Give yourself plenty of blank measures on a clean sheet of manuscript paper.
- Listen. Do not try to write while listening. Just listen.
- Listen again. Try to pick up the beat and determine whether it is divided simply (into two pieces) or compound (into three pieces).
- Determine meter by listening for patterns of strong and weak beats. Also listen for rhythmic clues such as longer notes (often, but not always, on strong beats) and harmonic changes accompanying the underlying melody (most music changes chords at a rate of one chord per measure). Come up with a logical meter signature.
- Verify your meter signature by singing or listening to the rhythm again.
- Listen again. Take a shorthand rhythmic notation as you listen or sing back the melody. Make sure you jump to each new measure as it occurs. If you get stuck in a measure, skip it and go back to finish it up on the next hearing.
- Translate your shorthand notation to standard notation.
- Double check your answer by singing what you have written and comparing it to what you remember.
Steps for Taking Melodic Dictation
- Begin by taking a rhythmic dictation of your melody (see steps above). Figure out where things happen before you try to figure out what happens.
- Listen for and identify the tonic. If the melody modulates, listen for indications of each tonal area (usually you can listen for dominant sounds).
- Identify important scale degrees along the way by writing their numbers above the notes on your rhythmic dictation. Mark chromatic notes. These may include longer notes, notes on cadences, the first note, the last note, etc. Be sure to listen to pitches as scale degrees, using your scale degree patterns to verify what you think you hear.
- Listen for how the “important” scale degrees (from step 3 above) are approached and left. Listen also for groups of notes that form identifiable structures such as triads, seventh chords, etc.
- Once you have labeled your rhythm with scale degrees, transcribe this into standard notation on a staff.
- Double check your answer by singing what you have written and comparing it to what you remember.
Steps for Taking Harmonic Dictation
- Listen first for dominant chords. Mark them and listen for their resolutions.
- Listen for and mark chromatic chords.
- Write the melody and the bass line.
- Fill in remaining chords using what you hear, information from your melody and bass lines, and your knowledge of harmony.
Steps for Taking Atonal Melodic Dictation
- Begin by taking a rhythmic dictation for the melody as described above.
- Listen for repeating pitches or pitches that are close to known pitches, even if (especially if) they are separated by only a few pitches. Listen for embedded chromatic lines in the melody.
- Listen for characteristic intervals. For example, many melodies will use a particular interval repeatedly. Try to find all instances of that interval wherever it occurs.
