Melody Dictation Lab

Listen to a short melody, then play the notes back on the keyboard. Choose the scale or mode, key, pitch range and number of notes. You can also practise melodies using all twelve chromatic tones freely.

Set up your exercise

Melodies stay inside the selected pitch range and use notes from the selected scale. Adjacent notes are chosen with a preference for singable movement, but larger leaps are possible.
