It occurred to me today to write some Java classes to represent western musical scales; starting with the 12 tone system and then providing methods to build scales in a given major or minor key, (and eventually different modes,) and build chords.

Classes like this could also become the basis of any number of other utilities or applications; chord chart generators, midi generators et cetera.

Plus it would be good reinforcement for a person (such as myself) teaching themselves the fundamentals of music theory.
