Explore Music's Greatest Stories
Music history isn't about memorizing dates. It's about understanding how sounds evolved, cultures collided, and artists broke every rule that came before them. We dig into the weird, wild moments that shaped the music you hear today—from medieval chants to hip-hop revolutions.
Start Your Journey
Three Paths Through Time
You can't understand modern music without knowing where it came from. Each program takes a different angle—because not everyone wants the same story.
Foundations Track
Start from scratch. We cover everything from Gregorian chants to early jazz, showing how Western music built itself piece by piece. Good for people who want the full picture without gaps. Takes about eight months if you're consistent.
Revolution Focus
Skip the slow evolution and jump straight into the moments that changed everything. Punk's arrival. The birth of electronic music. When hip-hop rewrote the rules. This track moves fast and assumes you already know some basics.
Genre Deep Dives
Pick one genre and go all the way down. Blues, classical, rock, funk—whatever grabs you. We trace it backward and forward, connecting dots most people miss. Perfect if you want expertise in one area instead of surface-level knowledge everywhere.
How It Actually Works
No generic lectures. No boring textbook summaries. Just real content that connects the dots between eras.
Listen First
Every module starts with music, not theory. You hear the sound before we explain what makes it significant. That way, the historical context sticks because you've already experienced the art.
Context Matters
We connect music to what was happening in the world at that time. Wars, technology shifts, social movements—all of it influenced what artists created. Understanding that background changes how you hear everything.
Build Connections
Music never exists in isolation. We show how genres borrowed from each other, how regional sounds traveled, and why certain artists matter more than their popularity suggests. The story gets clearer as patterns emerge.
People Who Live This Stuff
Our instructors don't just teach music history—they research it, perform it, and argue about it over coffee. They know which stories matter and which ones get repeated because nobody bothered to check.
