- This is interesting, I've always thought it was just a personal
- thing I did. I'm glad many others experience this as well.
- I sometimes hear music in my 'minds ear'. When I do, it is usually in
- some detail. I only wish I could reproduce the tenor sax parts as well
- as I imagine them. One of the ways I've found helps me become more aware
- of the 'imaguned music' is first to relax and try not too much to control
- the different parts. Then I very quietly whistle the melody part. After I
- am comfortable with the melody part I increase the volume of my whistling
- VERY GRADUALLY until I become fully cognisant of the music. I regret is that
- I'm not clever enough to be able to 'write down' what I imagine, although
- a little pocket tape recorder helps.
