Stop being intimidated by music theory. Start seeing the patterns.
Most people think music is a mysterious gift or a complex mathematical puzzle. Frank The Wizard is here to show you it’s actually much simpler: a beautiful arrangement of just two things—Time and Frequency.
Music Made Simple breaks down the "wizardry" of songwriting and jamming into a clear, visual blueprint. Whether you are a total beginner, a bedroom guitarist, or a music lover who wants to listen deeper, this guide is your key to the kingdom.
The Rhythm of Time: Learn to feel the "pulse" and understand how repetitive intervals create the grooves that make you move.
The Language of Notes: Discover how frequency intervals become the melodies you hum and the harmonies that give music its soul.
A No-Nonsense Guide to Time Signatures: Forget confusing fractions. We use a simplified "Beats per Bar" system that actually makes sense when you're playing.
The "Jam Session" Secret: Learn the "Beats per bar, bars per chord" system used by pros to communicate and improvise on the fly.
The Geometry of Sound: Visualize melodies as shapes—slopes, stairs, and linear paths—to better understand musical flow.
Frank believes that music should be accessible to everyone. By stripping away the academic jargon and focusing on the underlying patterns, he helps you build a foundational "Musical Blueprint" that stays with you for life.
