Can you provide an example of dictation music and explain how it is used in music education?

Dictation music is a method used in music education where students listen to a piece of music and then write down or verbally notate what they hear, such as the melody, rhythm, or harmony. This helps students develop their ear training skills and musical memory. An example of dictation music could be a teacher playing a short melody on the piano and asking students to write it down on staff paper.
