A web application that follows a growth-based model in developing aural dictation skills - writing down music without the aid of an instrument. Through this application students will be able to notate the underlying structure of a piece of music using a converstational methodology that creates a continous feedback loop and allows students to self-differentiate. This will add a blended component to teaching music that will enhance physical class time, allowing the teacher and students to focus on those aspects of music making that require ensemble work while building on the content they have learned outside the classroom during the week.
