MUSIC THEORY

The Method Behind The Music

This Web site made a short course in music theory to help take the mystery out of how music goes from a sheet of paper to a magical performance. Also they have created a guide to conducting music, for all the aspiring Bachs and Bernsteins out there.  They have provided examples of how instruments work using cutting-edge FLASH technology. To fully understand and appraise classical music, you must know its roots and creators. They have assembled a pre-history of classical music, an easy-to-use explanation of the different genres, and a guide to some of the most popular composers, to elevate knowledge of this artform's roots. So please come in, look around, and learn something.

Learn the method behind the music.
