Ever wonder how a band creates its unique "sound," or what makes a particular song so distinctive? Pandora has created a series of podcasts that you can download and listen to on topics like vocal harmony, rock rhythms, and electric guitar technqiues. The terms listed in the tutorials will constitute part of your midterms and final examination.

The tutorials get into a little music theory, but they have tried to make it interesting and understandable for anyone who's even just a little curious about music and has little or no musical background. The tutorials include numerous musical samples.
