If you are not familiar with the Web Rewards section of this site, this is where I send my students each week to complete theory and ear training assignments to help them prepare for the state theory and ear training test. I have made a number of melodic dictation exercises for them that you can use as well. Here is an example of a Level 6 assignment that includes Christmas tunes for which students must fill in missing notes. You can download the worksheet and students can come to this site and listen to the examples to complete the assignment.
Download and print this Melodic Dictation Level 6.
Click on the following links to hear the melodies. Each melody will be played 5 times.

If you would like to access more of these activities, visit the Wendy’s Piano Studio Tab (It’s under the subcategory Wendy’s Students/Web Rewards). Melodic dictation assignments begin in Level 5, Rhythm Dictation begins in Level 3.
Thank you for these terrific resources, Wendy. Your interest in and attention to your students’ musicology and talents is obvious. Your efforts are an inspiration for my own studio, which I call Barbara Ehrlich Piano Studio. Thanks again!
