"We know an age more vividly through its music than through its historians. " ~ Rosanne Ambrose-Brown I have never met anyone whose life has not been influenced by music in some way. Music sets the stage for our lives; it has the ability to trigger memories and manipulate moods. Music can stimulate our creativity and increase the connections in our neural network. Those of us who grew up with School House Rock can attest to the power of music to infiltrate the memory whether you want it to or not. If for some reason you have never heard of School House Rock or if you just want to take a trip down memory lane, here is a video for your viewing pleasure. The truth is, using music in the classroom can impact student learning in a number of ways.

In autumn 2005, creative arts charity, Create, sent four professional musicians to maths classrooms to find out. In this article, Create's founders - Nicky Goulder and Samantha Lodge - reveal how maths books and marimbas can go hand-in-hand. Introduction If you're a maths teacher, the thought of thirty children all playing tambourines and bongo drums may not immediately appeal, but does music-making have the potential to help your pupils understand mathematical concepts such as fractions, ratios and probability?
Eager to explore this possibility, Create launched its pioneering cross-curricular maths and music project, Count the Beat, in October 2005. Project Background The motivation behind every Create project is to give individuals a chance to be creative, develop valuable life skills (such as teamwork, listening and communication), become more confident and have fun! Summing Up. Periods, Pitches and Pipes: a new middle-school teaching module connecting music and math. Megan Martinez and Alex Barnett, with help from Ilene Kanoff Despite the recent appearance of some good books on the connections between music and mathematics, there are very few teaching activities available that bring this exciting material into the high-school math curriculum.
What activities we found online were also of low quality, and some were not even scientifically correct. This motivated us to develop a fresh set of activities that teach the connection between graphs of functions, period, frequency, musical pitches and intervals, the speed of sound, and the harmonic series.

Mathematics and Music at zZounds. Few people understand how mathematics is connected to music.
Music has to do with scales and notes. Mathematics has to do with numbers and symbols. How are they connected? The Math in Music & Movement. How can you connect music and movement to math? By incorporating musical activities throughout your day, you can provide children with opportunities to strengthen basic math skills. Think about the skills involved in singing a song such as "This Old Man". This simple song incorporates many basic math skills, including matching and comparing (through changes in pitch, volume, and rhythm); patterning and sequencing (through repetitions of melodies, rhythms, and lyrics); and counting and addition (identifying cardinal numbers and adding one more with each verse).
When you add moving to the beat, you have created an entire mind/body package of learning rolled into one song! A Step - by - Step Approach The acquisition of math skills follows a developmental sequence. Numbers are symbols that represent "how many" of something. Children learn about the basic structure of math by seeing the relationship between things. Musical Matching Making Comparisons Change the verses to create new comparisons. Connections: Math and Music. Counting Math and music might seem like an odd couple. But when we take a closer look, they have more in common than you might think. You see, beneath the sound of the notes are math concepts and rules. These math ideas help organize everything from the beat (rhythm) to the tune (melody) of the music.
