10 4-bar melodic dictation exercises written for Year 8s, designed to be covered in sequence over one semester. These dictations could be used with other year groups, depending on the level of your students.
All melodies are in 4/4, in major and minor keys up to 2 sharps and 2 flats, moving in steps and skips. The first note is given.
Each exercise has an optional bass part, so you can easily extend your more advanced students by setting them a 2-part dictation.
20 audio tracks are included (melody only and melody and bass for each exercise), played at 68 beats per minute with a 2 bar count-in, so if you are not a confident keyboard player you can simply play the audio tracks in your classes through a sound system. I also upload the tracks to my online classroom learning space, making it easy to set exercises for independent class work, homework or catch-up if a student misses a lesson.
