  • Break Through the Cloud: Finding Clarity in Ear Training

    Break Through the Cloud: Finding Clarity in Ear Training

    Download Your Free Resource Guide: Start your journey to better audiation and ear training today! 👉 https://www.uremusic.com/resource-guide Most musicians live in a fantasy—chasing shortcuts, avoiding the grind, mistaking comfort for mastery. This talk destroys the myth. In this raw, research-backed session, I reveal the truth about “busy work” in music: — Why drills matter. — Why real growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. — Why every shortcut is a chain—and every repetition is a weapon for your freedom. You’ll hear the stories behind the struggle. You’ll get the science that proves why the work works. And you’ll see how honest, conscious practice can transform not just your playing, but your life. This isn’t about empty motivation or exploitation. It’s an honest contract: my expertise for your transformation. If you’re tired of being manipulated by false promises and ready to do the real work—this is for you.

  • From Audiation to the Page – Turning a Sung Line into a Complete Phrase

    From Audiation to the Page – Turning a Sung Line into a Complete Phrase
    Jan 10 2026
    In this masterclass, we will take a short idea you can clearly audiate (even if it’s just a few notes you can sing) and walk through the exact process of turning it into a complete, coherent musical phrase. Kevin conducted a masterclass on turning internal auditory ideas into written compositions, focusing on melody and audiation techniques. He guided participants through exercises and discussed the importance of developing mental auditory skills, emphasizing clarity in initial ideas and the value of intuitive composition. The group explored methods for composing music through audiation and discussed the challenges of developing these skills, concluding with plans for future meetings and webinars. Audiation Techniques for Composers Kevin conducted a masterclass on the technique of turning internal auditory ideas into written compositions, focusing on melody. He explained the importance of developing audiation skills for both composers and performers, emphasizing its role in previewing and improvising music. Kevin guided participants through a practice exercise involving a single note, encouraging them to listen to the note and determine its natural progression. He stressed the need for clarity and memorability in the initial ideas, advising against writing them down during the process. Kevin also mentioned plans to hold monthly live sessions to address questions and provide support for his website members. Mastering Melody Composition Intuition Kevin led a discussion on melody composition, emphasizing the importance of creating short, memorable phrases that can be easily audiated and remembered. He advised against writing down notes until the melody is firmly anchored in memory, as this can help prevent ideas from vanishing during the notation process. Kevin also stressed the value of intuitive composition and the need to develop mental auditory skills through daily practice. Natural Music Development Techniques Kevin discussed the importance of allowing musical ideas to develop naturally from inner hearing rather than being dictated by notation or instruments. He emphasized that music theory should be used as a tool for logical thinking rather than just fitting preconceived ideas, and warned against "paper music" that looks complex but lacks comprehensibility. Kevin explained techniques for expanding simple musical phrases through repetition and variation, focusing on characteristic elements that stand out, and demonstrated how to audiate ideas without being limited by instrumental constraints. Audiation for Music Composition Kevin discussed a method for composing music through audiation, emphasizing the importance of developing an internal ear for melody creation. He explained that composers should focus on creating original ideas rather than overthinking or relying solely on theoretical knowledge. Kevin also highlighted common pitfalls in composition, such as losing the sound of the music and forcing development, and advised against adding unnecessary notes. He recommended taking breaks when composition becomes mechanical and always returning to the sound in one's mind. Kevin suggested that daily practice, even for short periods, can lead to improvement in audiation skills. 👉 Free Audiation Course: https://www.uremusic.com/audiation-inner-ear-training-for-musicians 🎧 Ear Training, Audiation & Creative Theory for Musicians | Kevin Ure 🎶 Learn music from the inside out.

  • How to Audiate: Practical Tips to Break Plateaus (Q&A)

    How to Audiate: Practical Tips to Break Plateaus (Q&A)
    Jan 5 2026
    Download Your Free Resource Guide: Start your journey to better audiation and ear training today! 👉 https://www.uremusic.com/resource-guide This Q&A explains practical audiation tips and techniques; it does not include full guided practice sessions (those are in my courses). Most ear training doesn’t fail because you’re untalented.It fails because it trains the wrong skill. In this 1-hour Q&A, I answer 22 real questions musicians are asking about ear training, memory, improvisation, rhythm, and musical confidence — and explain why audiation (hearing music clearly in your mind) is the skill that changes everything. If you’ve ever felt stuck guessing, confused by theory, or frustrated by slow progress, this video is for you. You’ll learn: * Why most ear training programs don’t translate into real musicianship * The missing skill that separates guessing from knowing * Practical ways to develop audiation (your inner ear) step by step * How to break plateaus, overcome self-doubt, and hear music before you play it * How audiation transforms improvisation, rhythm, memory, and style mastery I’m not here to sell shortcuts or hype. I’m sharing what I’ve learned from decades of teaching, research, and real-world results — so you can stop spinning your wheels and start hearing music from the inside out. If you’re ready to challenge what you’ve been told about ear training, you’re in the right place.
