Here is one person's attempt to answer the question, "[[Why microtonality?]]" In the [[introduction]] you will find the grossly incomplete FAQ. [[MicrotonalTheory|Microtonal Theory]] is a collection of inventions intended to shape understanding of tunings, with [[Mathematical Theory]] exploring areas not everyone will want or need to consider. A growing [[scaleindex|scale gallery]] is here as well. [[The Library]] is a collection of articles, books, and dissertations related to tuning theory.
If you are curious as to why one might make microtonal music, [[Why Microtonality?]] is an attempt to answer that question. To get you started, here is a [[GeneralDiscussion|guide for learning about tunings on the internet]], a [[scale gallery]], and a collection of approaches to [[Microtonal Theory]]. &lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt;For all these new theories and scales, new &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt;[[notation]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt; is sometimes needed to write it down. Also helpful are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt;[[microtonalListeningList|links to lots]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt; of microtonal music that has been made, in case you're wondering what it all sounds like. On top of that, here is a section on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt;[[Microtone|microtonal]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt; capabilities of various &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt;[[microtonalinstruments|instruments]]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.5;"&gt; of (eventually) all sorts.&lt;/span&gt;


For all these new theories and scales, new [[notation]] is sometimes needed to write it down. Also helpful are [[microtonalListeningList|links to lots]] of microtonal music that has been made, in case you're wondering what it all sounds like.
Microtonality can be a rewarding endeavor, so if you're intrigued that there lies an exciting new world to explore beyond the threshold, you're in the right place. Get going already!

Microtonality can be one of the most rewarding endeavors that a musician can embark on, though it can, at times, be challenging. Some ex-microtonalists have attempted to make the case that 12-EDO is enough, as is the case in this op-ed from an ex-microtonalist [[whynotmicrotonality|here]]. In contrast, a very short counterargument can be found [[whynotnotmicrotonality|here]]. If, despite these differences of opinion, you're intrigued that there lies an exciting new world to explore beyond the threshold, you're in the right place. So get going already!
