A ground-up exploration of how Western music is built — from the physics of vibrating strings and the overtone series, through scales, intervals, harmony, chord progressions, rhythm, and musical form. Every concept is derived from first principles, with the emphasis always on understanding WHY the rules exist, not memorizing them. For curious musicians, producers, and deep listeners.
