**FULLY CORRECTED **
This resource will help students to succeed in the aural dictation question in all boards’ Appraising Music exam (GCSE & A Level). It provides opportunities to build students’ musical literacy and listening skills. It assumes prior knowledge of music theory (notation (up to 2 ledger lines), intervals etc…).
I have created and developed this resource after years of struggling to find dictations worksheets that use REAL extracts and not just a piano line. This is particular important as it gets students to develop their ability to identify and focus on the main melody as part of a larger texture, something that most students struggle with.
This resource includes 3 different tested activities that I personally use in my teaching and that has proven to be successful:
- Identifying melodies – the first step to succeed - are students able to identify melodies? Are they able to know if the melody goes higher? Lower? Etc…
- Dictation warm ups (this section is open to your own teaching) – I usually teach each ‘dictation’ lesson by playing a simple melody on the piano for students to write it down, giving students the starting note.
- Contour – I get my students to write the contour of the melody heard. This is for me to see if students can follow pitches and for students to gain confidence in the task.
- In at the deep end – students complete the dictations. As this is practice, I usually play the tracks a number of times to ensure that the majority of students managed to complete the task.

Great!
Oh my goodness where has this resource been for the last 13 years of my teaching career?!? I have planned, taught, re-planned and created resource after resource to support my students with aural dictation over the years. This is by far the best thing I have ever used and bought and the only thing I haven't spent hours adjusting. I bought this on recommendation from a colleague and I am so impressed. If you only buy one thing from TES this year then make it this resource! (I'm now off to search to look for any other resources they've created...) Thank you so much :)
I must admit that I bought the resource without any real expectations as there are a lot of similar resources in here (I am probably on the 4th resource bought on musical dictations) but never found what I was really after UNTIL NOW! Your approach is a great fresh way that I am going to incorporate in my teaching for certain. The resource itself is excellently presented with the booklet being extremely student-friendly and the PowerPoint with all the tasks and embedded tracks is just priceless and a time saver. I could go on and on about this work that must have been a mammoth task! Just to finish – Love the choices of tracks used – eclectic, inspirational and really fun! Thanks ever so much for this!
