Overview
musics.name is a browser-based music theory resource that pairs written explanations with playable audio examples. Its reference pages cover 21 scale types, 24 chord types, intervals, the 24 major and minor keys, note frequencies and a plain-language glossary. A four-article reading path introduces intervals, the major scale, functional harmony and cadences, and the site publishes 95 articles across thirteen topics that include harmony, rhythm, counterpoint, tuning, orchestration and history.
Alongside the reference material, the site offers practice tools that run in the browser without an account or uploads. These include a virtual piano, chord and scale finders, a fretboard, a chord progression builder, the circle of fifths, a chord transposer, a chromatic tuner, a metronome, tap tempo, a rhythm lab, a tone generator, ear training drills, and calculators for room modes, loop tempo, string tension and audio file size.
Tools rely on JavaScript and Web Audio support, and the tuner additionally requests microphone permission. Access to the articles, reference pages and tools is free. An optional 78-page music theory ebook in PDF format is offered through Gumroad, and the site also links a second book and a catalogue of music releases.
