The point of my comment in the first place was that Ariane was not wrong so emailing her and having nothing to do with her after that because she said 24, the number that’s commonly accepted through all of music theory teaching, is just dumb and also harmful to people who are just starting to learn music. Just because Victor Wooten says something doesn’t make it right, he’s a great musician, a great educator and he has his own idea about a lot of stuff. To dismiss someone because you don’t agree with them, when they’re not wrong, is ignorant.

That’s the difference between science/physics and engineering in science you can just ignore the stuff that makes your life difficult, in engineering you realize that it’s pretty significant.
It’s like the joke about the 3 guys where they have to fence in the largest area with the shortest length of fence and the mathematician builds a fence around himself and defines where he’s standing as being “outside”
Adults get too stuck on wanting to learn the rules of things because they think it’s going to be a shortcut when they’re usually better off approaching things as a child and just experimenting to find out how things work. Theory is good if you’re going to use it for something; you’re much better off finding a problem first and using theory to solve it than learning theory in a vacuum.
The 3/6 key’s we’re taking about in this thread are so uncommon that you could go your life without worrying about them ever. It’s like the average person worrying about centripetal vs centrifugal force.

What’s actually mildly interesting (heavy on the mildly) is that in her book, Ari talks about 13 keys, going up to 6 sharps and flats and addresses why you dont/cant have keys like G# but I can’t see any anywhere that she talks about the 7th sharp & flat even though they’re included in the circle of fifths diagram she shows.

Well here’s some more…
bananas are the seed pod of an herb plant, and technically berries. Bananas didn’t originally look anything like the one we’re familiar with does now.
Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are not berries.
Almost every “vegetable” in a Greek salad is actually a fruit. A large percentage of what most people grow in their “vegetable” gardens are actually fruits.

I can fully groove with this tomato business. Myself, i like them with a little olive oil, garlic salt and a little lime juice. Great for dehydration after a long hard day in the sun.

Berry is a botanical term. As it turns out, vegetable is not either - biologically speaking, there’s no such thing as a vegetable. It’s just a catch all word for plants we eat with the main course.
Peanuts are btw not nuts, they’re legumes, like peas
