The present disclosure provides a system and method for representing music in a three dimensions using contexts based around tonal centers, to form three dimensional geometric shapes. The musical notation method described herein is easy to understand and visualize. The method is based on three dimensional structures which may represent contexts. The contexts may be formed by combining diminished and augmented scales shown as symmetrical three dimensional geometric shapes. These symmetrical geometric shapes may be formed from a plurality of polygons, which may include polygons comprised of a set of related notes from a diminished or augmented scale, together forming a looped harmonic polygon. Each note in a respective scale is placed at a vertex of a harmonic polygon, wherein the vertices of the harmonic polygons are selected from notes in a twelve note chromatic scale.
