How to learn melodic dictation?

As an aside, the Bersanetti guy is part of http://www.voxsaeculorum.org/roster.htm

Considering previous run-ins I've had with folks on that site, it doesn't surprise me he's a jackass.

edit: Barsanetti posted here as palestrina64, thanks to my cyber-detective skills.

Here's a thread where he decided I can't play the piano based on his own imagination:

Ugh. Sadly(or thankfully) his posts are all gone from the forum, somehow. So all that remains are quotes, and for gently caress's sake the guy is a retard. It's kind of funny I've had that run-in with him though in retrospective. In fact, that thread I posted the link to contains also GrantCo who was the admin of the vox saeculorum forum before it went belly-up. Another jackass for all intents and purposes, haha.
