Very good material. But I think there are some minor mistakes in lesson 6 chord progression. At the bottom, you wrote:

TonicSubdominantDominant
C D# F# A C# E G A# C D# F# A

I think the right one should be like this (subdominant and dominant):

TonicSubdominantDominant
Primary Secondary Primary Secondary Primary Secondary
C, F A, D F, B D, G G, C E, A

According to Wikipedia: Axis system - Wikipedia

There are minor mistakes in other lessons, but so far I have found, this is the biggest one.

I really want to download some of your game cart of this tutorial, please tell me how if possible.

Thanks for this feedback.  You, Wikipedia, and the cart itself are correct and my text is in error. I'll update the text when I release more lessons in February.

Yes, you can download all the carts.  If you look at the heading for each lesson, there is a load command, for example LOAD #MUSICTHEORY6. If you enter this command into the PICO-8 console, it will download the cart and make a copy in your carts folder.

This is awesome, thanks for making this! The visualization into the similarities of pallets really made different scales ‘click’ for me! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Thank you! I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn music theory give this a chance. Maybe it's bc I'm a visual learner, but this has been the helpful set of tutorials I've discovered for Pico-8 and probably music in general.

This tutorial is amazing. As someone with zero musical background, I am finding it incredibly useful!

I'm so glad to hear it's helping.  I also plan to release more lessons in the coming months.
