The word "audiation" means “to think music.” For music teachers who incorporate audiation and its accompanied Music Learning Theory in their teaching, it is a way to help students deepen their musical understanding from the very beginning of training. Music Learning Theory is a comprehensive approach for musical learning, based on an extensive body of research and practical field testing by Edwin E. Gordon. In this episode, Christine discusses audiation and Music Learning Theory with pianist and music educator Siliana Chiliachka, who uses Music Learning Theory and Audiation in her own piano studio.
