Great Technique, But ‘Silent’ Inside? Build The Inner Ear You’re Missing

Most musicians can play the notes, pass the exams, and fake their way through “ear training”… but when the instrument is gone, their mind goes silent.

If you’ve ever felt like your ear training hasn’t translated into real inner hearing, this episode is for you. We’re diving into audiation – the ability to hear music in your mind with clarity before you ever touch your instrument. You’ll see why traditional interval drills, aural skills classes, and app‑based ear training often fail to build a reliable inner ear, and how that leaves even advanced players with a blocked inner ear: great technique, strong theory, but silence inside.

In this video, I’ll walk you through audiation‑based ear training step by step: a simple Happy Birthday audiation test, how to find the edge of your inner hearing with transposition and mental practice, and why training your fingers is not the same as training your inner ear. If you’re a composer, improviser, or serious music student who wants to hear music before you play it, this is the starting point for building real audiation – the kind of ear training for composers and improvisers that transforms practice, sight‑reading, improvisation, and composition.
