About Learning Music
Learning Music is a set of interactive lessons from Ableton that teach the basics of music making. The homepage describes lessons that begin with small pre-made musical patterns, shown as boxes that the learner turns on or off by clicking. Learners combine these patterns to find combinations they like, then move on to making their own patterns. The directory lists topics including beats, melody, harmony, basslines and song structure.
The lessons run in a web browser, and the homepage says no prior experience or equipment is required. The site asks for a browser that supports Web Audio, such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. The homepage excerpt covers only the opening lesson, so the details of later lessons are not described here.
