Caterpillar (Dictate the Rhythm)

This structured dictation worksheet is great for:

• Helping students break down dictation into achievable steps.
• Providing options for students who need to take things slowly and methodically and those who can zoom through at a faster pace!
• Giving extension work to those students who finish quickly.

An audio file is included on this page so you could leave this worksheet for a supervising teacher. The audio track gives a 4 beat lead-in to establish tempo.

An answer sheet is also provided with answers in blue.

PLEASE NOTE: only the first 16 beats (8 bars) of this song are used in this dictation worksheet. This gives ample opportunity for students to practice dictation skills in a session and then you can move onto more activities and music making in your lesson!
