Musical Spork

Welcome to Musical Spork, my working repository of notes. I'm currently in an intensive liberal arts course at Gutenberg College, and as an aid to myself and my classmates, I decided to make some of my notes public.

Disclaimer: Be aware that this is very much a work in progress. You may find broken links or empty notes.

Also, every page on this site is incomplete, because I will be adding to it and restructuring as I learn. So, don't expect it to stay the same.

Also, I'm not perfect, and my notes aren't either. I'm sure there are typos & even factual errors in these pages. If you do notice something, feel free to email me at musical-spork@jameshall.xyz.

With that said, let's talk about how I organized the site. It's primarily wiki-style, but I do have a central Table of Contents. Also, I have loosely collected scattered pages into Maps of Contents (MOCs).

Here are a few MOCs to start out with.
