Description
Have you ever wondered about the underlying structure of music? The mysterious musical elements at the the heart of music and the mechanisms responsible for the entire curriculum of formal music theory?
This transformative course invites you on a life-changing musical journey into the heart of music, unraveling the mysteries of equal temperament — the single tuning adopted as standard in the West. No prior knowledge of formal music theory or musical skills is needed, just an open mind and a love for music.
Discover the intricate world of music, acoustics and anatomy without getting lost in complex terminology. From mastering aural discrimination to exploring the foundations of equal temperament, this course empowers you to identify and interpret mistunings, fostering a unique skill set in understanding and recognizing both consonance and dissonance.
What exactly will we study in this course?
-
A novel method of visually representing musical tones.

The physical phenomena taking place when sounding musical tones simultaneously.

How certain harmonic tones are approximated in 3 different Equal Temperaments: 12-ET, the standard, and 2 other microtonal ET’s.
-
Consonance and dissonance of different versions of the same tone.
-
Variants of the same symbols: differently tuned tones, which in cultural practice bare the same name and are notated the same way.
