AI Music Assistant

Hello and welcome!

This new feature (still experimental) allows you to ask questions related to this e-book to our AI music assistant (powered by OpenAI ChatGPT), trained to answer as an expert on this e-book.

You may ask questions like "What is this book about?" or "Can you list this book sections?"

You can also ask questions about the author or anything else you may think of.

Just enter your queries inside the field on the top of the displayed music and click the "Ask" button on the left to start chatting.

Remember that the assistant cannot perform catalog searches. It is focused only on this e-book. It could also give you wrong or imperfect answers. In that case, click the "regenerate" button on the side of the answer to replace it with a new one. And, of course, you can provide feedback for each answer so we can improve the system.

Reviews about Basic Music Principles:

Rating: 5 Explained well by on April 2025
This was very informative and very well explained there were a couple of things I didn’t know so thank you for that.
Rating: 3 Too much background noise by on April 2024
I only watched part 1. While trying to hear the pitch of the notes being referred to I was distracted and confused with all the background noise and I can read music. I think older beginners would find this very confusing. I couldn't bear to listen to more of the course, Sorry
