Download the free guide "5 Spells Every Composer Needs." Spells are interval-based composition techniques that work like magic. In this guide, Frank explains five of his most-used spells with examples so you can implement them in your own compositions. https://musicintervaltheory.academy/spells/ In this episode of the Music Interval Theory Podcast, Frank shares how years of teaching pattern-based music theory helped him develop instant pattern recognition—both visually and aurally. He breaks down why structured learning is far more powerful than "winging it," and how repeating intervallic patterns can train your inner ear like nothing else. You’ll hear how these concepts apply directly to composition, and how to avoid common mistakes by understanding the “why” behind what works.
