Pitch & Tonal
Hear where notes live and where home is.
This territory connects pitch placement, interval shape, and the pull of a tonal center. The aim is not trivia: it is hearing a note clearly enough to make the next musical decision on purpose.
The capability this builds
Hear the target, locate home, then place the note with intent.
Each concept below is one observable part of that capability. The route is guidance, not an unlock wall.
