who this article is for
music theory and harmony for non-musicians
- does not assume an ability to
- play a musical instrument
- read music
- assumes a basic background in science
- assumes a familiarity with the basic principles of object-oriented programming (or pattern language)
- uses a little python
- does not teach music theory and harmony as it is taught in music school, so trying to talk about music theory with a music school trained musician who has no background in science will probably be difficult at best; you'll be talking about the same thing, but your language will be very different than his/hers
