Music trainers

Dictation

Listen closely and write down the rhythm, melody or cadence you hear.

How it works
  • Listen, then answer. Each answer is marked straight away.
  • Get 8 of your last 10 right to move up a grade. 3 wrong in 6 moves you back one.
  • A session is 10 questions. Your progress is kept in this browser and, when you are signed in, in your account.
The levels

Grades 1 to 8 follow the graded music exams, from your first notes to Grade 8.

The grade adapts to your answers, or you can pick one.

The first level of each trainer is free. Every grade comes with Brainlag Ear Training, Brainlag Music or Brainlag Ultra.

About

Listening and writing together: pick the rhythm you heard, play a short melody back on the keyboard, or name the cadence at the end of a phrase.
