The Creative Listener

This book series by Brett Copeland, Dakota Corbliss, Derek Ganong, and Austin Seybert, is specifically designed for the applied music instructor who wishes to augment their teaching methodology with audiation concepts. It requires no special training or knowledge on the part of the music instructor, and provides ways to make audiation a part of their pedagogy. There are ready-to-use examples here, and we have provided online resources to make it even easier to incorporate audiation into your private studio. We hope that you will come to value audiation as a vital part of your teaching practice.
