abstract
the task of melodic dictation has long been an established component of the aural skills curriculum, having e earned its place as a valuable and multi-faceted learning tool (see rogers [1984], karpinski [1990]). an entire chapter is devoted to melodic dictation in karpinski (2000), where the author calls the task "an important focal point of undergraduate music training" and states: "working with melodic dictation can help to develop some very important musical skills such as musical attention, extractive listening, short-term musical memory, musical understanding, and notation."
