Systems Thinking for Business Professionals - Redesigning and Antiquated System Part 5
What you'll learn
Build a complete scale engine in Microsoft Excel using interval and modal-distance logic
Understand modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian) as "continents" on a musical globe
Derive all 7 scale notes in any key using Excel formulas instead of memorized theory charts
Navigate the fretboard logically using clockwise (forward) and counterclockwise (negative) interval movement
Convert traditional scale degrees into more precise modal-distance measurements that actually line up with the music
Use XLOOKUP, IF, and mixed references to handle note rotation and octave wrap-around in a 12-note system
Compare major and minor modes by interval distance instead of vague "happy vs sad" descriptions
Apply spreadsheet-style systems thinking to music, composition, and fretboard visualization
Requirements
No prior music theory experience is required - the course teaches a clearer, measurement-based system from scratch
Basic comfort using Microsoft Excel (typing formulas, copying cells) is helpful but not required
Curiosity about how systems can be redesigned logically using data and structure
An interest in learning Excel through a practical, creative project
A willingness to think in terms of distances and patterns instead of memorizing traditional music-theory labels
Description
Welcome to the next step in the Excel-powered redesign of music theory - a course where business logic, system thinking, and real spreadsheet engineering merge to produce a cleaner, faster, and more intuitive way to understand musical scales.This course builds an entire bi-directional scale engine using true measurement instead of the vague historical labeling musicians have been stuck with for centuries.Whether you're a business professional learning Excel or a musician tired of theory that contradicts itself, this course gives you a single unified model that finally makes sense.________________________________________What This Course DoesTraditional music theory teaches scale degrees, interval names, enharmonic exceptions, and a long list of "just memorize it" rules that fall apart the moment you:• change roots,• go backward,• cross an octave,• or compare modes.In this course, you'll build a consistent measurement system using Microsoft Excel - one that works forward, backward, across octaves, in any key, and for all seven modes.You'll create a complete system that:• Derives every scale tone from distance calculations, not memorized labels• Builds all seven modes from a single root• Handles negative direction (backwards / counterclockwise)• Uses Excel to compute wrap-around note logic• Replaces the flawed "scale degree" system with modal-distance numbers• Outputs all scale notes automatically with clean formulas• Mirrors the logic of good engineering, not outdated terminologyThe result is a fully functional Excel scale engine that beats the classical system in clarity, speed, and reliability.________________________________________Why It's a Better Music SystemMusicians will see immediately:• why scale degrees are "off by one,"• why descending intervals break naming rules,• why certain modes have sharps or flats in strange places,• why traditional interval names contradict their own definitions,• and why modal distances (1-7 = continents) create a perfect, reusable model.The course teaches you to think in distances, not labels - the same way every other measurement-based discipline works.This gives guitarists, producers, composers, and teachers a faster, more accurate way to understand:• scale construction• modal shapes• key changes• chord building (introduced here and expanded later)• fretboard navigation• DAW pitch layoutIt's cleaner, logical, Excel-driven music theory.________________________________________Why It's Perfect for Business & Excel UsersThis course uses music only as the case study.Your real learning comes from:• constructing formulas that scale• designing systems that handle forward and reverse direction• building tables that auto-populate based on distance• using Excel to simulate circular systems (12-tone rotation)• using IF, XLOOKUP, mixed references, and wrap-around logic• translating a flawed legacy framework into a modern, consistent systemIf you understand this, you understand systems thinking, data modeling, and logical framework engineering - skills that transfer directly into analytics, programming, and business modeling.________________________________________What You Build in This CourseUsing Excel, you will build:• A forward (clockwise) scale-builder• A backward (counterclockwise) scale-builder• Excel formulas that convert modal distances into note outputs• A bi-directional interval table• A full set of seven scales• A method for switching between related modes and same-root modes• A bi-directional mapping system for the guitar fretboard• A visual model of notes as continents (modes) and oceans (non-modal tones)By the end, you won't just understand scales - you'll have built a full Excel-powered scale generator that can produce any scale, in any key, from any mode, in either direction.This is music theory designed the way an engineer would design it - and Excel is the perfect tool for the job.
Who this course is for
Business professionals who want to learn Excel through an engaging, real-world systems project
Musicians and producers who want a faster, more logical way to understand scales and modes
Guitarists looking for a clearer map of the fretboard based on distance, not memorization
Data-minded learners who enjoy patterns, structure, and logic-driven problem solving
Excel users who want to build a fully functional scale-generation engine from scratch
Teachers seeking a modern framework for explaining scales and modal relationships
Songwriters and DAW users who want consistent interval logic when moving between keys or modes
Anyone frustrated by confusing scale-degree terminology who wants a direct, measurement-based theory system
Curious beginners with no experience in music or Excel who want to see how complex systems can be rebuilt logically
