Audiation – Inner Ear Training for Musicians

  • Course
  • 20 Lessons

This is the free way in. Audiation is hearing music in your mind before you play it. If you have done traditional ear training, passed the aural skills exams, and can read notes and play scales but still feel deaf away from your instrument, this is the part nobody taught you.

The next step

Think of this as a survey course

The lessons in this free course give you a glimpse into audiation. I take you through foundational exercises to help you develop your audiation abilities. This is not the full course. It stays at a basic level on purpose, as an introduction to audiation. The real training comes in the Composing Hour, where the work repeats week after week until the skill becomes automatic.
