The Aural Test
The Aural Test
This will last for forty minutes and will be the kind of test where
you write down the answer on paper. There will be two or three questions
on each of the following: -
-
Describing 6 intervals
-
Writing the second of two pitches
(6 examples)
-
A simple 4 bar melodic dictation.
-
A 4 bar rhythmic dictation
(simple or compound)
-
Describing two cadences.
-
Describing 6 triads as major
or minor.
If you have studied music at GCSE
or at A level then the Aural Test will present little problem. Even
if you have never sat an Aural Test before do not despair, just
try-we're looking for the potential for training your ear, not a
sixteen-year old fully trained bandmaster!
