Audiation: Compose Your Way to Musical Understanding

What is Audiation?

Audiation is the ability to mentally hear and understand music, even when it’s not playing. This course teaches audiation through the process of composing music. You don’t need to be a composer to take this course, but you will create a composition from scratch.

Who is this Course For?

This course is perfect for musicians who want to enhance their understanding of music and improve their composition skills. Even if you’re not a composer, this course will help you audiate musical works and apply these skills in your musical journey.

Course Structure

The Four Stages of Audiation

The course is divided into four stages:

  1. Stage 1: Laying the Foundation - Sets the groundwork for audiation and prepares you for more advanced work.

  2. Stage 2: Diving Deeper - You’ll audiate two-part counterpoint examples while continuing to develop your composition.

  3. Stage 3: Expanding Your Horizons - Starts the process of hearing three- and four-part textures, applying these skills to your own composition.

  4. Stage 4: Mastering Composition Techniques - Deals with essential composition techniques as we aim to complete your composition using audiation.

The Process of Audiation

Important Information: Please Read!

I would like to invite you to take my Audiation Course and explore the depths of the audiation process. Before you enroll, please review the following prerequisites:

  • Basic Music Notation Skills: You should be able to notate and read music.

  • Note Recognition: You don’t need to know about chords or progressions, but you should be familiar with the notes in the treble and bass clef.

  • Instrument Proficiency: You should be able to perform music on an instrument by reading sheet music.

If you don’t have these basic skills, I encourage you to Schedule a Consultation with me. I can help you find the best options for advancing your musical journey, whether that involves taking my courses or exploring other paths.

                                        Frequently asked questions

                                        You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

                                        What if I am not satisfied?

                                        Refunds are available within the first 15 days if you are unsatisfied with the course. However, there will be a nominal fee since we are not able to recover credit card processing fees. Please see our refund policy.

                                        If you are uncertain if this course is right for you, we suggest you make monthly payments so you can cancel at a later date.

                                        How long do I have to complete the course?

                                        The course is an 8-month course, and the payment plan allows you access to group sessions and the material for one year.

                                        If you would like to renew access, you can do so by contacting Kevin Ure and paying a $50 fee to gain an extra year of access.

                                        We are not a large company, so it's necessary to charge to pay for hosting and keeping these sessions alive!

                                        Are these private lessons?

                                        These are not private lessons. Sessions are pre-recorded, but you always have the option of meeting with Kevin or getting a consultation for additional help.

                                        How do I sign up for the group sessions?

                                        We are not currently offering group lessons. Group lesson sign ups are only available as space is available.
