[shameless plug] I built http://lightnote.co for exactly this. Starting from basic sound waves, it teaches music theory while skipping all of the technical notation. It definitely doesn't go as deep as this post, but I don&

Hi, I'm the guy making this course. A little more about this project: I'm looking to help people who know almost nothing about photography. Maybe they've only taken photos with their smartphone, or maybe they own a DSLR but n
