JIMS' goal is to help you Understand Music in 24 Hours™, if you are (a) a non-musician (b) who wants to learn how to write your own rock songs. Requiring no instrument other than your own computer, and without using traditional notation, JIMS is being designed to deliver a deep understanding of tonal structure...in just 24 hours.

From components to lessons

I'm now happy with the current state of my "keyboard component" and the structure of the surrounding application. It's not entirely customer-ready, but it's in good enough shape that I need to start *using* it. That should expose a lot of weaknesses (and, perhaps, strengths) that I would not discover otherwise.

Therefore, I'm going to shift my focus from the development of components (using Flex) to the development of lessons (using Flash). I've hosted the www.igetitmusic.com domain using GoDaddy's free service, and will start developing lessons, which I will post there. I'll shift this blog over there shortly, too.

The free hosting service imposes a number of advertisements on the site, which I won't to have up there once the site is "legit." For now, though, I need to keep my burn rate to an absolute minimum, so I'm happy to have a free hosting option, ads or no ads.

With some help from Jeffrey Houser, I've almost figured out how to share my source code, so I'll be getting that up soon, too.
