Naming What You Know
Apply Musical Universe vocabulary to your existing fluency. By the end of this sprint you can name Root, Third, and Fifth Orbit instantly for any note in a triad, and name all 4 segment types in scale runs you already play.
What this sprint actually is
You already know this Galaxy physically. The scales, the patterns, the shapes — your hands know where to go.
This sprint is not about playing new things. It is about naming what you already do in the Musical Universe language.
That naming — fast, automatic, reliable — is the skill being built. You are installing a vocabulary onto an existing physical library. When the naming becomes instant, your ear and your hands start talking to each other in the same language.
