This is the test in musical dictation. Write in pencil, clearly and legibly.
You are to write down the melody only, although the melody will be played
with accompaniment most of the time. The test will be written in the
treble clef, in the key of G minor. Now, write the treble clef and the
key-signature of G minor, then put down your pencils.
Allow | minute to write.
After giving you the beat-speed, the key-chord, and the key-note, I shall play
the test twice before you begin to write. The test will then be played at short
intervals for about ten minutes. At an early stage the melody will be played
twice without accompaniment. Do not write until you are told. Listen
carefully and try to remember the melody.
This is the speed of the beat or pulse.
Tap aloud 6 beats at J = 66.
This is the key-chord in G minor.
