Features: This book is designed as a supplementary text for the "Monophonic Sight-Singing Course." Its main feature is the close coordination with the "Audio-Visual Training Course." What is learned in the "Sight-Singing" part is what is also practiced in the "Dictation" part, serving both as a supplementary tool and as a means to assess the mastery of learned content. To better align with the Sight-Singing Course, the organization of this book follows the same sequence.
Chapter 1: Basic Rhythmic and Meter Training.
Chapter 2: Mode and Tonality Training.
Chapter 3: More Complex Rhythmic and Meter Training.
Chapter 4: Gregorian and Dorian Modes, as well as Special Natural Major and Minor Scales.
Chapter 5: Changed Notes.
Chapter 6: Two-Part Dictation.
Dictation itself has its own unique principles, requiring a combination of auditory perception, theoretical knowledge, and notation skills to be effectively practiced. Training should emphasize a gradual progression and constant repetition, with a focus on practicing the same level of material extensively. The more you listen and write, the quicker your response will be. This book is suitable for students of intermediate to advanced levels at various higher music conservatories and secondary music schools.
