Music Is Math

Finally — a way to make note values click. Music Is Math connects what students learn in math class to what they see in music class: starting with basic fractions, students discover that notes and rests are named for the space they fill in a measure. A whole note fills a whole four-beat measure, a half note fills half, and suddenly the names make sense. It's a natural cross-curricular fit that reinforces fractions while building real music literacy — and it gives you an easy answer the next time someone asks how music connects to the rest of the school day.
