Kapelle Dictation

Kapelle Dictation

Kapelle Dictation is the workhorse application of the Kapelle series of programs. It is designed to read in specially-prepared music notation files and treat them like dictation exercises. It can handle melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic dictation with equal ease, and offers the input and correction of harmonic analysis symbols as well as notation. 

Read the online user tutorial manual for the program (pdf).

  • Double-click it to install
  • Accept the defaults
  • It will be installed to "C:\Program Files\Kapelle\KapDict"
