Amazing idea.
With today's technology, anyone with enough motivation can write music for an orchrestra from a bedroom. What we see is many newcomers realizing they are going to need some music theory an harmony if they want to be any good (myself included). I think there's a market for this.

Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback. In the UK, conservatory tends to mean a glass room on the back of your house - we use conservatoire for music school!

This is great.
Just a minor note (ah!): the number "1" on the left on my name on the top right corner made me think I had some welcome message in my inbox so I tried to click it.
Ok, time to watch some videos. I'll use this as teoric complement of justinguitar.com

Ah ha - so that's your current score. It isn't a fully fleshed out feature, but they idea is you'd get points for completing exercises etc! But yes, at the moment it looks like a message in your inbox!
Also if there were any keen hackers out there who would be interested in donating their time and skills to the project, that would be excellent.
I'm a musician and only a relatively new hacker and so I could certainly do with some help to make the site's software more robust!
How do you plan to monetize it?
It'll be good to work through these videos at the same time =)
I'm up to part 9 of the basic lessons and so far they're looking pretty good!
Very well done so far, you've obviously worked hard on this and it shows.
edit: curious why you chose the french version over the english 'conservatory'
