Most musicians think inner hearing is something advanced — a skill you unlock after years of training. In reality, you’re already using it every single day. Every time you: - anticipate the next note - read ahead while playing - correct a pitch before touching the instrument feel that something is “off” before you can explain why …your inner hearing is working. The difference between struggling musicians and confident ones isn’t talent — it’s whether this skill is trained consciously or left to chance. Here’s a tiny experiment (no instrument needed): Exercise (30 seconds): - Imagine a single note (any pitch). - Hold it mentally for 5 seconds. - Now imagine that note moving one step up, then back down. Don’t sing. Don’t move. Just listen inside. If it felt blurry or unstable, that’s normal. If it felt clear, that’s trainable. If it felt hard — that’s exactly where growth starts. 👇 Community prompt (reply below): Was the imagined sound clear or fuzzy? What instrument do you mainly play? Do you usually hear music internally when you practice, or only when you read? No right answers here — just awareness. Inner hearing grows faster when it’s shared, verbalized, and reflected on. Let’s use this space for that. — Sound Ninjas 🥷🎶
