If you delist your Shopify app from the app store you will not have to pay the 20% monthly commission from the new customers. It also means your app is private, and you will have to invest in your distribution channel now. Shopify stores ca

Musimathics is great [1]. If you want a more interactive source you can play with python notebooks from the music information retrieval site [2]. I've found it helpful, as you try some of the described music theory concepts in a progra
