Math
- The student learned about patterns and sequences in music by creating and arranging different beats and melodies on the sound board.
- Through adjusting tempo and rhythm, the student explored mathematical concepts such as fractions and division as they relate to musical time signatures.
- By assigning numerical values to different frequencies and pitches, the student gained an understanding of frequency ratios and mathematical relationships between different notes and chords in music.
Encourage the student to explore the mathematical concepts of symmetry and geometry in music through the use of sound board, creating patterns that mirror each other or experimenting with fractal-like structures in their digital compositions.
