About this video
What actually happens in the body when a musician hears music in the mind. An exploration of inner hearing as a multimodal experience — imagined pitch, timbre and sound movement, the covert singing that may accompany an imagined note, and the movement and touch through which that inner sound reaches the piano.
Musical imagery, covert singing, subvocalization, and the hidden role of movement — what happens physically when musicians hear music in the mind.
