[Trombone-l] Question

I've got an odd question I'd like to ask the listers. Since I
anticipate a lot of you will answer, let me apologize now for not
replying to each of you. I am just curious about what you would say
about this.
Everybody knows that we can "hear ourselves" thinking in English (or
whatever our native language might be) even though we are not actually
speaking out loud . For example, we can say our name to ourselves and
actually hear it inside our heads. If you aren't sure about this,
just think of what you are doing as you read this.
Now, I'm wondering if the listers can hear their trombone playing in
the same way. That is, listening to the language inside your head is
called "silent speech." Can you listers also hear "silent music?"
