Book excerpt: This pre-requisite course aims to reframe the learning experience by employing a remarkably simple yet astute assumption; all music, including all music theory terms and topics, can be distilled down to one Unifying Concept. This implies that understanding one concept is all you need to easily comprehend everything related to music. This is what differentiates our course from all other methodologies!The course starts by stating the Unifying Concept- Music is the Interplay of Consonance and Dissonance. No matter what aspect of music you are discussing, it can be discussed in these terms. Then, using a relatable, real-life, metaphor we define the terms- Interplay, Consonance and Dissonance.Next, we slowly build a music example, illustrating the musical blueprint used to create all music. We show that music is comprised of music elements-(i.e., scales, melody, harmony, rhythm etc.) that are assembled and varied like building blocks; whereas each variation will evoke a different feeling, mood, or emotion-which is the overall goal of music.
