You practice every day… but your ear isn’t really getting better.

--Your fingers get faster.

--Your pieces get harder.

But you still can’t reliably hear the line before you play it. You still guess at harmonies. You still feel lost without the page or the recording.

In this episode of Audiation: Inner Ear Training, we rebuild your practice routine around your inner ear instead of your fingers.

You’ll learn a 30-minute audiation-centered practice framework you can plug into your daily routine:

Why your ear isn’t improving

Training Hands va Ears

Mechanical vs audiation practice

30-minute audiation practice structure

0–5 min: Silent audiation warmup (no instrument)

5–15 min: “Hear before play” on your piece

15–25 min: Audiation on problem spots

Student story: “I practiced wrong for 15 years”

25–30 min: Ear check & recap

How this connects to Flawless Ear Training & Composing Hour

Why ear training didn’t fix your hearing

By the end of this video, you’ll know how to:

--Warm up your inner ear in silence before you touch the instrument

--Use “hear before play” so your ear leads and your fingers follow

--Fix problem spots by training your audiation, not just your muscle memory

--Tell if your ear actually improved after a practice session

This episode is especially for you if:

--You’ve done traditional ear training but still can’t really think in sound

--You rely heavily on sheet music or recordings

--You feel like you’ve “practiced for years” but your musicianship hasn’t transformed
