I have my AP MUSIC THEORY exam tomorrow, and I am so happy that I am not alone in feeling that blank, hopeless feeling when faced with melodic dictation. This video helped me so much! I only wish I had watch it earlier in the year lol!

It takes me 3 or 4 tries just to get the rhythm down. I don't get how people do this so fast.

For the first time someone could explain this! Thank you so much!

I'm like: oh, the melody is easy
3 notes later: uh, what's the melody?

I have such a hard time memorizing melodies especially now in my 2nd semester of aural theory. I try to memorize a passage in the line but by the 8th measure my mind is all jumbled up form all the other measures and I start confusing notes from different phrases.

I like the way the rhythms are written but how would you write it with syncopations?

So... Why do we have to take these stupid exams again? I'm not sure I'm gonna need it after uni (although I wish I could do it).
