Abstract: System and method for quickly learning 12 universal musical patterns that encompass all notes, melodies, harmonies, chords, and composition of western music without the use of traditional musical notation, or extensive training in music theory. Study and application of said method will result in increased recognition of distinct sound qualities of each pattern regardless of which musical note said pattern has been applied to. The system or method is provided in a verbal or written explanation, which can be supplemented by visual or graphical display of a chosen instrument.
