Audiation is a brand new word to me but I've been doing everyday for almost 50 years. I'm a self taught drummer that played in dozens of bands of various levels but I typically was surrounded by bandmates that understood music much more than I did. Audiation must have been with me since the beginning.
its so true that its more important for the voice to be musical than just good or beautiful because the musicality will make it that anyways, not the other way around! I learned that late in the game myself lol now I treat my voice like an instrument in a band and I focus a lot more on rhythm, intonation, intention, tempo when I sing.
Hi Michael, She's referring to two traditional approaches to music education, Orff Schulwerk (named for its originator, the composer Carl Orff) and the Kodály approach (likewise named for its originator, the composer Zoltán Kodály). Here's a great episode which discusses these and other approaches: www.musical-u.com/learn/designing-for-joyful-learning-with-anne-mileski/

You should keep in mind when you are teaching these classes that not everyone has a minds ear. I can subvocalize but I have no form of auditory memory. I can't play a song in my head or change my voice to Morgan Freeman. If I have a song stuck in my head that means I'm kind of beat boxing the instruments or saying the lyrics to myself with no music.
YES! This is very important! Why nobody talks about it? The ability to reproduce music inside you mind is not the ability the hear it. Internal hearing and internal vocalizing are absolutely different things.

Around 13:20 she says something like "two weeks on 'Orf' and two weeks on 'Kodai.'" Can someone please explain what she's referring to? Thanks!
