If you use the aural
style, you like to work with sound and music. You have a
good sense of pitch and rhythm. You typically can sing,
play a musical instrument, or identify the sounds of
different instruments. Certain music invokes strong
emotions. You notice the music playing in the background
of movies, TV shows and other media. You often find
yourself humming or tapping a song or jingle, or a theme
or jingle pops into your head without prompting.
Common Pursuits and
Phrases
Some pursuits that use the
aural style are playing, conducting, or composing music,
and sound engineering (mixing and audiovisual work).
You may use phrases like these:
That sounds about right.
That rings a bell.
It’s coming through loud and clear.
Tune in to what I’m saying
Clear as a bell.
That’s music to my ears.
Learning and techniques
If you are an aural learner, use sound, rhyme, and music
in your learning. Focus on using aural content in your
association and visualization.
Use sound recordings to provide a background and help
you get into visualizations. For example, use a
recording of an aircraft engine running normally,
playing loudly via a headset, to practice flight
procedures. Use a recording of the sound of wind and
water when visualizing sailing maneuvers. If you don’t
have these recordings, consider creating them while next
out training.
When creating mnemonics or acrostics, make the most of
rhythm and rhyme, or set them to a jingle or part of a
song.
Use the anchoring technique to recall various states
that music invokes in you. If you have some particular
music or song that makes you want to “take on the
world,” play it back and anchor your emotions and state.
When you need the boost, you can easily recall the state
without needing the music.
Whether your training need is small and focused, or
enterprise-wide, you can count of Frontline Learning to deliver.
