This outline of links can be used as a self-guided introductory course through the [[Main Page|Xenharmonic Wiki]] for people interested in understanding, playing or composing what's termed microtonal or [[xenharmonic music]]. Although it consists almost entirely of links to Xen Wiki and some Wikipedia articles, it's carefully ordered to guide a growing conceptual understanding for people new to the subject. The intention is to help answer the question "Where should I begin learning about xenharmonic music?" for those who wish to go deeper than the more introductory texts provided on the Xen Wiki [[Guides]] page.

This course overlaps and extends from a prerequisite of Music Theory 101, a ubiquitous first-semester college course whose material is also commonly taught to high school piano, guitar and jazz musicians. There are several excellent free online comprehensive textbooks teaching conventional Music Theory 101 ([https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/MusicTheory.html Music Theory for the 21st-Century Classroom], [https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/ Open Music Theory], [https://www.8notes.com/theory/ Music Theory]). If you work through one of those comprehensive courses, many of the links below to Wikipedia articles will be redundant.
