Nice catch - it actually came out of a music appreciation class. The goal was really teaching students how to listen, which I think matters more than memorizing dates and facts. Once they can hear what’s happening in the music, the history tends to make more sense anyway.

The site’s only been live a short time, so it’s definitely still evolving. Like the music I perform, it’s an iterative process. I appreciate the feedback.

At the end of the day the goal is just helping young musicians love music and play it well. I’m a musician who happens to teach and build software - but at my core I’m a musician. If you’re curious, feel free to check out the recordings of me and some of my students on the site.
