Countless melodies at the tip of your finger!

meloDicts is a Melodic Dictations Generator that creates each time a different tonal melody. An innovative and versatile software that randomly generates and carefully plays exercises as a human teacher would do. It can generate eight bars melodies of Basic, Easy and Intermediate difficulty, in eight different major (C, F, G, D and B flat) and minor (A, D and E) keys.
Developed by an Ear Training/Music Theory Italian professor specifically for his own students, this app is a perfect tool to train your ear at home. Get a pencil and a music sheet and let meloDicts be your digital teacher! Select which bars you want to listen to and write them down!

A Melodic Dictation (also called Transcription or Music Dictation) is an ear training exercise in which the student writes down a short melody while listening to the teacher playing it. It helps strengthen the students visualization skills, giving the ability to listen to music and immediately visualize how it is written, a skill that the most experienced composers and musicians have developed to a high degree.
