Why Four Chords Rule the World
The same four chords underpin thousands of hit songs across every decade and genre - not because songwriters ran out of ideas, but because those chords tap directly into how human ears parse tension and release. You will learn what makes a chord stack sound the way it does, why certain sequences feel inevitable, and how to build progressions that do emotional work on purpose.

The Map That Turns Ink Into Sound: Reading Music Notation from Scratch
Sheet music is not a code invented by experts to exclude beginners - it is a coordinate system designed to encode pitch, duration, and expression with enough precision that a musician in Tokyo can perform exactly what a composer in Vienna wrote down two hundred years ago. You will learn to decode the staff, clefs, rhythmic values, and key signatures that make that communication possible, building from first principles to the point where a simple melody becomes something you can read rather than guess at.
