You will first hear the key-chord and the pulse . A 4 bar melody
will follow straight on, then a pause before the altered version is played. You
must decide whether the change was RHYTHMIC or MELODIC and then try to be more
specific about what difference you heard. Write down your answers to all 8
examples before looking at the answers. Try to limit the number of times you
listen to each test before giving an answer.
