The Music Warrior Network

The atlas stops at where a scale sits among the others. Every site below picks a scale up from there: onto an instrument, into a lesson, or into a style of its own.

What this site is for

Scales Warrior maps how scales connect and nothing else: which family a mode belongs to, which modes sit one altered degree apart, and where each family’s mirror image lands. It draws no instrument, plays no sound and gives no scale a page of its own, which is exactly why it needs the rest of the network.

Once a scale has a place on the map, the questions that follow belong elsewhere — how it lies under the hand, what it sounds like and why, how a style puts it to work. Every site below answers one of those.

Where a scale goes next

How the network divides the work

Almost every site in the network publishes scales of its own; none of them maps how the scales relate. That split is deliberate: the instrument sites draw them, the theory site gives each one a page, the style sites play them, and this site shows where each one sits among the rest.

Sisters still being built are not in the list yet. Each joins the day it opens, on the same terms as the rest — one subject, one home, and a straight sentence here about why you would leave for it.
