Study Music with DV Language — A New Way to Learn Music for All Ages & Levels

By Ronen Kolton Yehuda (MKR: Messiah King RKY)

Study Music with DV Language is a family of three educational apps – Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced – built around the DV Language (David’s Violin Language / Divi Language).

The goal is simple and serious:

to create a global, multilingual way to study music that is clear, accessible, and flexible for all ages.

From the beginning, this project is designed to be international – not limited to one country or one language.

These apps are in development. What is described here is the vision and direction, not a final locked curriculum. The exact content and structure in each app may evolve as the project grows.

Why DV Language for Music Education?

DV Language is a textual, intuitive way to write and read music.

It can describe:

Melody (single notes over time)
Harmony (chords and progressions)
Rhythm (durations, patterns, boxes)
Scales and degrees (1–7, modes, etc.)
Different instruments – melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic

Because DV Language is text-based and symbolic, it can live inside any written language: Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, English, and many others.

A learner can see and hear music through DV, alongside traditional notation on the five-line staff when needed.

The idea behind Study Music with DV Language is to build on this flexibility and create a full learning path – from the first clap on a beat to multi-channel compositions – always using the same core musical language, in many human languages.

Three Companion Apps, One Shared Vision

Instead of one very complex system, the project is structured as three sister apps, each focused on a different level of musical understanding:

Study Music with DV Language – Beginner
Study Music with DV Language – Intermediate
Study Music with DV Language – Advanced

All three share the same DV engine and philosophy, but each has its own atmosphere and expected depth.

The details below describe the intended direction. They are not a strict promise of all final features; the content may expand or change as development continues.

1. Beginner – Starting From Zero, for Any Age

Beginner is designed for people who have little or no musical background – children, teenagers, or adults who simply never had the chance to learn.

Typical themes that the Beginner app is planned to explore (without committing to a final list):

What is sound, beat, and tempo (BPM, clicks, simple pulse)
Basic rhythm using DV durations (quarter, half, whole, eighth, etc.)
The idea of a musical box (for example, a 4-beat unit)
Simple melodies and patterns in DV
First contact with chords and harmony, at a basic level
Very simple connections between DV notation and traditional staff notation, when appropriate

The tone of the Beginner app is intended to be:

Clear and calm
Visual and interactive
Suitable for all ages – not childish, not overly academic

The focus is to give learners a solid base: feeling the beat, understanding durations, recognizing simple melodies and harmonies, and seeing how DV Language can describe all this in a consistent way.

2. Intermediate – Understanding Structure and Theory

Intermediate is planned for learners who already have some foundation – either from the Beginner app, from traditional lessons, or from self-learning.

Here the emphasis becomes more structural and theoretical, while staying practical. For example:

Scales and degrees (1–7), expressed in DV
Connections between DV notes, degrees, and common scales (major, natural minor, etc.)
Chords and harmony built from scale degrees
Simple progressions and short compositions
More systematic practice of reading and writing in DV
Side-by-side views of DV notation and the five-line staff where useful

Intermediate is still meant to be approachable. It continues to support learners of different ages, but with deeper content: people who want to understand “why,” not only “how to repeat.”

3. Advanced – Composing and Thinking Like a Musician

Advanced is intended for serious learners, musicians, and composers who want to use DV Language as a tool for real composition and analysis.

Possible areas this app may cover include, for example:

More advanced scales and modes
Richer harmonic vocabulary (extended chords, more complex progressions)
Rhythmic complexity, including more detailed patterns
Multi-channel DV projects – melody, harmony, bass, drums, and more
Integration with orchestral or studio-style playback, using the DV engine behind the scenes
Comparative views and exercises between DV notation, traditional notation, and the actual audio

The Advanced app is not designed to replace formal conservatory training, but to give a modern, DV-based environment in which serious learners can explore, compose, and experiment.

International and Multilingual by Design

One of the central goals of Study Music with DV Language is to be international from the very beginning.

From the first screen, each app will ask:

“Choose your language.”

The early development is expected to start with languages such as:

Hebrew
Arabic
Russian
English
Many other languages worldwide

But the project is not limited to these languages.

The intention is to gradually expand to many more languages over time – for example European languages, Asian languages, and others – so that learners across the world can study music through DV Language in their own mother tongue.

The design is therefore multilingual at its core:

All explanations, instructions, and user interface elements are stored in a way that makes it easy to add new languages.
Text direction adapts to the language:
- Right-to-left for languages like Hebrew and Arabic
- Left-to-right for languages like Russian and English
The same musical content and DV notation logic can be translated and adapted for new regions and cultures.

In other words, Study Music with DV Language is planned not as a local project, but as a global platform that can, step by step, support many languages and communities.

Visual, Audio and Spoken Guidance

The apps are being designed to support different learning styles:

Visual – boxes, timelines, notes, chords, and staff diagrams
Auditory – listening to examples, exercises, and compositions
Textual – clear, structured explanations in each language

In addition, the software is planned to offer optional spoken guidance:

Each page or lesson can have an associated narration text.
Users may choose to hear the instructions and explanations read aloud, or switch to mute and read by themselves.
This is especially useful for children, beginners, or users who read slowly in a given language, and for international learners who are more comfortable listening first.

The exact voice technology and implementation details may change, but the intention is clear:

learning music through DV Language should be both readable and listenable, in many languages.

Instruments: Melody, Harmony, Rhythm

Because DV Language can describe melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic elements, all three apps can eventually address:

Melodic instruments – for example, violin, flute, voice
Harmonic instruments – for example, piano, guitar, keyboards
Rhythm and noise instruments – for example, drums, percussion, electronic patterns

Beginners may only touch the surface of these categories, while Intermediate and Advanced can go deeper. But the idea is always the same: use DV as the backbone notation, and connect it to sound, instruments, and real musical experience, in many languages and cultures.

Status and Next Steps

At this stage, Study Music with DV Language – Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced is a design and development project.

This article describes the direction and philosophy:

Three separate apps for three general levels
DV Language as the central notation and teaching tool
Multilingual and international by design, with a clear intention to expand into many human languages over time
Coverage of melody, harmony, rhythm, and theory – gradually, by level
A flexible structure that can evolve as the tools are tested in real use in different countries and communities

The detailed content of each app – which exact lessons, which exercises, which examples – may change and expand over time.

The priority is to build something practical, clear, and genuinely useful for learning music, not just another demo.

As development progresses, information about prototypes, language expansions, collaborations, and exhibitions (including possible use in schools, cultural centers, and municipalities) will be shared in future updates.

Study Music with DV Language

DVLMS – DV Language Music School is a family of study-software apps that teaches music theory and composition through DV Language – a textual, intuitive way to write music that both humans and computers can understand.

The idea is simple:

One unified place to learn music theory – from absolute beginner to the most advanced academic level – using DV Language as the main tool for reading, writing, and hearing music.

Each level is its own app, but they all share the same philosophy:

clear explanations, live DV examples, and instant playback.

The DVLMS Family – Three Levels, Three Apps

1. DVLMSB – DV Language Music School Beginner

Who it’s for:

People taking their first serious steps in music, self-learners, and high-school students who want a solid, structured foundation.

What you learn:

Sound, pitch, tempo, beat – the real basics
DV note names (Do Re Mi … with octaves) and rhythm values (W, H, Q, E, S…)
Simple meters: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
Major scales and tetrachords
Introduction to natural minor
Basic intervals (2nd to octave)
Major and minor triads, tonic–dominant feeling
How to write short, simple melodies and study pieces in DV – and hear them instantly

By the end of DVLMSB, the student can read and write basic tonal music in DV Language and understand why it sounds the way it does.

2. DVLMSI – DV Language Music School Intermediate

Who it’s for:

Students who already know the basics and want to reach a strong international high-school / early academic level.

What you learn:

More advanced rhythm: dotted notes, syncopations, compound meters (6/8, 9/8…)
Full minor scale systems: natural, harmonic, melodic
Modes (moduses): Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian and more, written and heard in DV
All main triad types and seventh chords
Functional harmony: cadences, common progressions, simple modulation
First steps in voice leading and two-voice counterpoint
Musical form: phrase, period, binary and ternary form, simple song forms
Writing short, structured pieces in DV Language, with clear harmony and form

DVLMSI brings the student to the level where they can analyze songs and classical pieces, harmonize melodies, and think in terms of structure, not just isolated notes.

3. DVLMSA – DV Language Music School Advanced

Who it’s for:

Advanced learners, composers, and theory lovers who want a deep academic understanding of music through DV Language.

What you learn:

Advanced tonal harmony:
- Secondary dominants and leading-tone chords
- Modal mixture (borrowed chords)
- Chromatic mediants
- Neapolitan and augmented sixth chords
Complex rhythm & meter:
- Irregular meters (5/8, 7/8, mixed meters)
- Polyrhythms, layered patterns, metric modulation
- Advanced tuplets and groove concepts
Voice leading & counterpoint in 3–4 voices, all written in DV
Orchestration concepts, thinking in textures and ranges, connected to the DV composer tools
Post-tonal and modern ideas:
- Pitch-class thinking and small set-based structures
- Motive and transformation concepts for 20th/21st-century style
Composition projects: complete DV pieces (piano and small ensembles) with real structure, color, and development

DVLMSA aims at the top level: the student isn’t just “doing exercises” – they are thinking and creating like a composer, with DV as their main language.

International and Original by Design

DVLMS is not tied to any single country or exam system.

It is international by intention:

The topics reflect what is commonly taught in serious high-school, conservatory, and bachelor-level theory programs around the world.
The order of ideas is chosen for clarity and progression, not to copy any existing syllabus.

At the same time, DVLMS is original:

All explanations, DV examples, and exercises are written specifically for this project.
The school forms its own coherent “DV path” through music theory, rather than mirroring any specific book or exam.

The result is a system that feels familiar to musicians everywhere – scales, intervals, harmony, rhythm, form – but is uniquely expressed in DV Language.

How Learning Works Inside DVLMS

Each DVLMS app (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) is built from modules and lessons.

A typical lesson page includes:

Core idea
A short, focused explanation in simple language: one clear concept at a time.
DV examples you can hear
- A DV text area with example lines like:
  Do4Q ; Re4Q ; Mi4H ||
- A Play button that turns the text into sound.
- Optional traditional staff or diagrams for students who want to connect DV with “classical” notation visually.
Interactive practice
- Write your own DV lines following instructions.
- Identify mistakes and correct them.
- Try short quizzes that check your understanding of scales, chords, intervals, rhythm, and form.
Small projects
- At the end of each module, the student creates a small piece or exercise in DV – a short melody, a short progression, a small phrase – and hears it through the software.

Because DV is text-based, the whole experience feels like writing, coding, and composing at the same time.

Integration with DVLC – DV Language Composer

DVLMS is designed to sit naturally beside the DV Language Composer (DVLC) tools.

DVLMS is the school: it explains concepts, guides the student, and gives structured exercises.
DVLC is the playground: a place to freely compose, experiment, and orchestrate in DV Language.

As the DVLC family grows – for example:

DVLCI – DV Language Composer Instrument (single-instrument focus)
DVLCO – DV Language Composer Orchestra (Demo)
DVLCS – DV Language Composer Studio (with recording, multiple instruments, etc.)

…students will be able to:
