In this episode, Kevin from UreMusic pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of musicianship: ear training. From his early struggles with interval drills in college to developing his own audiation-based curriculum, Kevin shares what traditional methods miss, and how to transform your hearing, memory, and creativity as a musician.
You’ll hear:
* The origin story of the Flawless Ear Training method
* Why traditional interval drills rarely translate into real musicianship
* The turning points that shaped Kevin’s teaching philosophy
* What audiation really means (and how to develop it)
* The surprising exercises that unlock deeper musical understanding
* Reflections on creativity, mastery, and the realities of leaving academia to build something new
Whether you’re a beginner trying to make sense of pitch or an advanced musician seeking a deeper connection to sound, this episode will change how you think about listening, practice, and musical growth.
