Dictation, is considered as a criteria for the skill of using the relationship between the sounds constituting the essence of the fundamental music education, and the symbols. Within the process of dictation, , it is possible to understand how correctly the student comprehends the melody, harmony and rhythm- in other words, the basic elements of a music work. The aim of  this study is to investigate the relationships between the dictation skills and socio-cultural variables. One of the factual experimental models,  pre-test and post-test model with a control group was used in the study.  2010 – 2011 academic years’ 1st grade students of the music department of the Faculty of Fine arts of Cumhuriyet University, constitutes the study group (A group n=19, B group n=19). Dictation training was given to group A with the moveable do method and to group B with the fixed do method by the researcher  in a  schedule of 4 periods per week,   throughout 12 weeks. A form designed to receive specialists’opinions, an accreditation test, accreditation test Achievement Scale for Dictation (ASD) and Pre-test, post-test ASD were used as tools for collecting data. According to the results obtained from the study, no significant difference exists between the success in dictation and  (a) gender, (b)the region the students live in and (c) University entrance examination scores (YGS) .But it is seen that(d) students at the age of 24 or below  from the group who are trained with moveable do method are more successful than the   students at 25 or above.
