Interactive Theory Fundamentals: Hear, See, and Apply

Click to hear intervals leap and resolve, then record short melodic answers that mirror their shapes. One reader, Maya, finally cracked tritone tension by sculpting a reply melody that made her chorus shimmer with intention.

Interactive Theory Fundamentals: Hear, See, and Apply

Assemble scales note by note, then flip modes to compare colors against the same backing groove. Listen for mood shifts, save your favorite modal riffs, and comment with your discoveries so others can remix and learn together.

Composition Lab: From Motif to Masterpiece

Spin a motif, then stretch, invert, or sequence it while the grid shows motivic DNA evolving. Post your before and after clips, and challenge friends to craft a contrasting B section using the same core fragment.

Composition Lab: From Motif to Masterpiece

Drag a counterline beneath your melody and watch dissonances glow when they clash. Resolve them with stepwise motion, then freeze the moment you love most. Share your solution and ask for feedback on contour and balance.

Harmonic Progression Simulator

Spin through diatonic, borrowed, and secondary paths while hearing each turn in context. Lock a groove, audition substitutions, and save snapshots. Tell us which pathway surprised you, and we will spotlight your clip next week.

Harmonic Progression Simulator

Test authentic, plagal, deceptive, and half cadences with dynamic tension meters. Drag cadence types into your form and compare endings side by side. Share poll results on which cadence best lands your chorus hook.

Rhythm and Groove Workshop

Tap to Learn Polyrhythms

Practice three against two and four against three with haptic cues that guide each hand. Record your cleanest take, compare latency statistics, and encourage newcomers by sharing how you finally internalized that cross-rhythm.

Groove Layer Mixer

Stack kick, snare, hi-hat, and percussion layers, then nudge timing for pocket. Switch between straight and swung subdivisions, saving versions to hear microtiming differences. Post your A and B grooves and ask listeners which feels deeper.

Orchestration and Arrangement Studio

Audition instrument pairs and trios, then crossfade articulations to hear blend and contrast. Save your favorite combos and tell us which pairing transformed a thin chorus into a cinematic lift without crowding the vocal.

Orchestration and Arrangement Studio

Drag melodies across octaves and watch clarity, warmth, and brightness metrics shift. Balance sections by range, export a register plot, and ask the community how they achieved presence without harshness in dense mixes.

Songwriting Integration: Words Meet Music

Paste a lyric, mark stressed syllables, and align peaks with melodic accents. Hear mismatches immediately, fix them, and share clips showing how one vowel shift made your chorus sing more naturally and powerfully.

Test hook shapes against different grooves and keys, then A or B compare contour clarity. Save the catchiest variant, ask for listener ratings, and refine based on comments that reference memorability rather than genre preference.

Plot verse, pre, and chorus intensity across harmony, rhythm, and texture. Drag sliders to match story beats, then export a roadmap. Invite feedback on whether your bridge truly reframes the narrative or simply repeats energy.

Practice Paths and Community Feedback

Follow sequenced modules that stack listening, building, and composing. Track streaks, celebrate small wins, and share reflections about the moment theory finally clicked because you could hear, see, and use it immediately.

Practice Paths and Community Feedback

Upload a sketch, tag it by topic, and receive targeted notes focused on clarity and intention. Pay it forward with thoughtful feedback, and join live critique sessions to hear diverse approaches to the same assignment.
