Listen to a Podcast About Music Theory

Understand the language of music — scales, chords, harmony, rhythm, and composition. From classical theory to jazz harmony and modern production techniques.

The 12-tone equal temperament system used in virtually all Western music today divides the octave into 12 equal semitones, a compromise formalized in the 18th century that allows music to be played in any key. Johann Sebastian Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier" (1722) demonstrated this system's versatility by writing preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys. The overtone series, a natural acoustic phenomenon where any vibrating body produces harmonics at integer multiples of its fundamental frequency, provides the physical basis for consonance and dissonance that underlies all harmonic theory.
