Skip Music Theory 101

Overview

This project is the first "resume" project as part of the RoR module

of the Nashville Software School. The project is to be written entirely

in Ruby, using only the Standard Library.


The idea behind this particular project is to create a program that

incorporates basic Western Music theory for educational purposes.The 

goal is for the user to gain a better fundamental understanding of

music theory and for the author to gain better fundamental

understanding of Ruby.


Feature List



Enter a chord name and get its notes.

Enter a scale and get its notes.

Quizzes on all above topics.



Feature Wish List

This is a time-sensitive project so there will likely be features that will 

  be left on the wish list.



Persistent storage of path progress

GUI via shoes.

Other scales options (e.g. harmonic minor).

Modes.

Guitar and piano representations of the chords.

Sound files associated with notes.

Pitch training.

Contributions

forgiveness in their hearts...
