A. Practice hearing and identifying the following musical elements (it is recommended that you practice with a partner or use an ear training program such as musictheory.net):

Major, minor, diminished, and augmented triads (in root position)
All major, minor, and perfect intervals within the space of a perfect fifth (harmonic and melodic - both ascending and descending). These include m2, M2, m3, M3, P4, and P5.

B. Dictate the following melody. Use these parameters to prepare your staff:

Bass clef
3/4 time
Key signature: 2 flats
Starting pitch: Quarter note on Bb2
Four measures

You may listen to the example four times, pausing for about 30 seconds between each playing (this is similar to the format of the dictation section on the AP Music Theory exam). When you are finished, check your work by opening the attached PDF document.
