Listen "Better musicianship through "audiation""
Episode Synopsis
So what's "audiation" and what does it mean for your musicianship? In this episode musician/teacher Laurel Thomsen discusses how learning to audiate (the ability to make meaning out of the sounds of music, similarly to how we find meaning in the sounds of language), allows us to become fluent in music. This opens us up to being able to play "by ear", recall and notate music previously heard, improvise, compose, etc. So, if you want to go deeper and really "tell a story" through the music you play, start here. Enjoy!
