Ethiopian Scales, Rhythm & Chords

The grammar ofEthiopianmusic.

Six kiñit scales (Tizita, Bati, Anchihoye, Mixolydian, and more), spelled correctly in all twelve keys, for piano and guitar.

The system

A spelling engine for Ethiopian music.

Most Ethiopian music resources hand you tabs for individual songs. This teaches the underlying grammar, so you can play anything in the tradition, in any key, correctly.

Curriculum

Six scale groups, one connected path.

  1. 01

    Foundation

    Diatonic Scale, Chromatic Scale & the Seven Modes

  2. 02

    Scales

    4 real kiñits, each a different way of choosing five notes out of twelve: Tizita, Bati, Anchihoye, Mixolydian.

  3. 03

    Chords

    Each kiñit's native chords are already inside its five notes, so there's no separate chord theory to learn.

  4. 04

    Progression

    The same loop for every scale: work the module, log the practice, pass the quiz at 80%.

  5. 05

    Mastery

    Streaks, badges, and a roadmap that remembers exactly where you stopped and what opens next.
