A quick guide to the course for new and future participants.

The course is based on recorded videos with worksheets, with two or more added per week around a weekly theme. They are organised in blocks of four weeks, to get access to each block, you'll need to go through the [pay(-as-you-feel-)wall here](https://blog.tidalcycles.org/shop/). Everyone gets the same access, irrespective of ability to pay.

Here follows the course structure. This is still being created, at the time of writing we're "live" at week 5. It's organised into weeks, there's no time limit to getting through it, you can go through as slowly or as quickly as you like.
