Unpacking Musicality: A Clear Path From Notes to Interpretation (with Dr. Tim Stephenson)

If “be more musical” has ever felt like the least helpful feedback imaginable, this livestream is for you. Pianist and educator Tim Stephenson breaks musicality down into something you can actually work on, step by step, without relying on vague inspiration or mystery.

Drawing from his doctoral research, Tim explores how different musicians experience imagination and inner hearing, including aphantasia (the lack of internal imagery). Then he shares a simple 3-step process for turning notes on the page into an interpretation that feels intentional, communicative, and alive.
