The TMA Device is built for people who want to explore music more deeply.
That might mean learning an instrument, writing a song, producing a record, composing for film, exploring sound design, teaching music or simply becoming more curious about how music works.
TMA doesn't require you to approach music in a particular way. Its tools can be used at different levels, with different instruments and for very different kinds of musical work.
A first-time musician might use the visual theory tools to understand a scale. A songwriter might explore chord changes. A producer might use the sequencer models to generate ideas. A composer might use the theory and emotion tools to explore the arc of a scene.
The same underlying system can support all of these approaches because TMA is concerned with the relationships between musical ideas.
Develop ideas, explore harmony and rhythm, and use TMA's musical models as part of a personal production setup.

You don't have to fit neatly into one of these categories. If you've ever wondered why a chord works, why a melody creates a particular feeling, or what might happen if you changed something, TMA gives you tools to explore the question.
All of these uses come back to the same idea: making musical relationships easier to see, hear and explore.
TMA can suggest possibilities, reveal patterns, generate material and provide a framework for experimentation. The musical decisions remain yours.
Sometimes that means learning. Sometimes it means composing. Sometimes it means experimenting without knowing where the experiment will lead.
There is no required path through TMA.
Start with whatever makes you curious.
There is one aspect of TMA that doesn't belong to any particular type of musician.
Playing, listening, experimenting, making decisions, recognising patterns and responding to what you hear are all active processes. You don't need to be a professional musician, a producer, a teacher or a performer to benefit from engaging with them.
That is why TMA has another story to tell—one that isn't about who you are as a musician, but about what happens when you actively engage with music.
TMA and the Active Brain explores that idea in more detail.
