Instruction

Normally pupils, regardless of the complexity of musical dictation, experiencing the same difficulties in working on it. Most often they are expressed in three problems: a) students do not have time to hear the entire tune, b) only hear a piece of music or individual notes) can't remember the entire tune from beginning to end.
