🎶 Want to build real musical memory, imagination, and creativity? In this video, I’ll guide you through three powerful audiation exercises that strengthen your inner musical world — all without needing an instrument in your hands.
Audiation — the ability to "hear music in your mind" — is the foundation for everything from playing by ear to creative improvisation. In this session, you’ll experience:
🔵 Memory Audiation — Revisit a melody from your past and relive it with vivid emotional detail.
🟣 Imagination Audiation — Slow down and reshape a current piece you're learning, zooming in on every musical nuance.
🟠 Creativity Audiation — Build a tiny musical idea from a single tone, exploring rhythms, timbres, and transformations.
Each exercise is designed to awaken your musical thinking, enhance mental practice, and deepen your connection to the sounds you love. 🎧
✨ No stress, no need to be “fancy” — just playful, curious inner listening that will naturally sharpen your musicality.
🧠 Practicing audiation can:
✔️ Improve your ear training skills
✔️ Boost musical memory
✔️ Expand your creative imagination
✔️ Support more expressive playing and improvisation
If you’re working on solfège, learning to play by ear, or strengthening your improvisational skills, these practices will supercharge your growth!
🎹 Dive in, and let’s strengthen your musical mind together.
