Four Note Melody Dictations E, G, C and E(h)

Now we have E, G, C and E(h). This one takes you across the first four strings on the banjo. Keep your picking smooth and in time with the metronome.

Remember, scaffolding is available if you need help.

Don’t forget to do Musical Gym. It will help you internalize the ear training as well as increase your bowing and picking skills.
