I often get discouraged by the jargon in music methods. How does the VMS deal with that?
Theoretical jargon is either avoided or clarified by using multimedia in a smart way. Where a musicologist speaks of a ‘non-diatonic dissonant’, the VMS gives this note a dirty brown color to illustrate an unpleasant clash with a neighboring chord tone. A ‘blue note’ in a blues line is easily recognizable because it is really blue! Simple color codes, enhanced with graphic symbols like arrows and brackets make any musical concept very clear. The ‘What You See Is What You Hear’ system lowers any threshold.
