Charts for a music room
A music room wall is the one place a reference genuinely gets used, because the alternative is putting the instrument down. Everything here is arranged for that: read from two metres, answered in a glance, no interruption.
Theory on one side — the circle of fifths, note values, intervals. The instrument on the other — the fretboard, the keyboard, first chords for guitar and ukulele, the pentatonic box, scale fingering, and the alternate tunings. For a room that records as well as practises, the two mixing sheets: what lives where in the spectrum, and where things sit across the stereo field.
A3 is the sensible default here. A4 only if it hangs within reach of the stool.
