Learn to count in 7/8, 5/4, 11/8, and shifting meters. I'll teach you the rhythmic language of The Rite of Spring -- the piece that started a riot. Bring a drum, a table, or just your hands. Rhythm is the most primal element of music.

Learn to say everything in four lines. We work on compression -- removing every word that isn't earning its place. Dashes are welcome. Capital Letters too. The goal is a poem so concentrated it detonates on contact.

My father was the greatest swordsman in France. I learned enough to write convincing duels. I'll teach you the basics -- en garde, parry, riposte -- and the storytelling behind every fight scene. A duel is a conversation with sharps.

Learn to structure stories that people can't stop reading. We work on chapter endings, pacing, character reveals, and the art of making your audience come back next week. I wrote A Christmas Carol in six weeks and it changed Western culture. Speed is not the enemy of quality.

Learn to write music that makes bodies move. I'll teach you orchestral color -- how a celesta sounds like falling snow, how a bassoon sounds like a grandfather clock. We score a dance scene from scratch.

I rode this through the halls of Bell Labs while juggling. Now you can ride it through your neighborhood. 20-inch wheel, good for beginners. Balance is information theory in action -- constant feedback, constant correction.

I gave Europe the number zero. I wrote the book on algebra (al-jabr). I'll teach you both. We start with the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, learn why it's superior to Roman numerals, and work up to solving equations. The algorithm is just a recipe. Follow the steps.
