I suspect this could get fractured very quickly.

Perhaps this would best be organized by dividing music theory up into a number of major disciplines:

Within a 'melody' page, we could lead quite naturally into counterpoint in its various species, scales (diatonic, modal, chromatic, and microtonal), and so on.

Within a 'harmony' page, we could lead easily into chords, harmonic progressions, some additional discussion of scales, and so on.

Within a 'rhythm' page we could discuss the hemiola, syncopation, and so on.

Within a 'timbre' page we could discuss musical instruments, 'beating' of frequencies, elements of electronic musical instruments (oscillators, MIDI gear, etc), and so on.

Started change by breaking existing page into four subheads: time will tell if subpages are necessary when there's enough material...
