About this site

Use musics.name to connect what you read in a score with what you hear. The articles explain how intervals, scales and keys are built; how harmony moves; how counterpoint keeps voices independent; how rhythm is measured and how it is felt; how tuning systems compromise; and what the surviving documents say about how music was actually made in each period. Alongside the articles are browser tools you can play and measure with.

#Who makes it

This site is designed, developed and published by Yunus Emre Vurgun — a composer, arranger and developer. He built the site, the shared audio engine and every browser tool, and he is the person responsible for everything that appears here.

The four-article starting path moves from intervals to scales, chord function and cadences. For a quick answer, search a chord or scale; for practice, choose a browser tool. Reading and using the tools requires no account or payment.

There is also a catalogue of recordings released independently under four artist names, listed with the platforms they are actually on. They pay for the hosting and they are the reason the promotion blocks on this site exist.

#How the articles are made

Every article is the publisher’s responsibility: what gets published, what gets corrected, what gets cut, and what the site refuses to claim. Pitches, tables and historical claims are checkable — each article names the pieces, intervals, figures or treatises it relies on, and the playable examples can be heard in the browser rather than taken on trust. Corrections are welcome and are treated as first-class work; send them through contact.

How the articles are written has the full account, including what to say when you quote the site.

#What the articles assume

Each article states its level — intro, intermediate or advanced — and the levels mean what they say. An intro piece assumes you read music a little and know what a scale is. Intermediate assumes you can find your way around a key, read a key signature without counting, and have met the idea of chord function. Advanced assumes the vocabulary of tonal harmony and, where the topic needs it, species counterpoint.

Reference spellings are computed from interval formulas and checked by automated tests. That makes the method inspectable, but it does not make every explanation infallible. Historical interpretations can differ; check the sources named in an article before relying on a contested detail.

Tools support practice and reference. They do not record or save projects, and their audio depends on your browser and device. The tool directory explains compatibility and limits.

#Corrections

Factual corrections are welcome and are taken seriously: if a date, an attribution or a pitch example is wrong, it gets fixed and the article’s updated date changes. The quickest route is contact.
