This report details the development process of Relatable DAW, a web-based interactive tool designed to teach music theory concepts like scale degrees and intervallic relationships between notes to high school students in concert band or other related music classes through an abstract compositional lens. An interview with a high school band director was conducted in order to ascertain information on the use of digital tools in a classroom setting to aid in student understanding of musical concepts. The insight and feedback gained from this interview served as an aid to inform the development and refinement of the application.
