How does a musician use math?

Answer 1

Music is all about math, mainly fractions. You have to know how to use fractions and divide them up between a measure. For example, say you are in 4/4 and there are four counts. You have to put exactally the number of counts in. You could put in a quarter note, which takes up a quarter of the measure or one count. Then you could put in a dotted quarter note which takes up a count and a half. Then an eighth note, which is a half a count. Then to end it a quarter rest, which is one count.

if you add all the fractions together (1/4, 3/8. 1/8, and 1/4) It all adds up to 1 (measure)

Answer 2

there is counting which is the beat you have to keep in time

Also, if you ever get close enough to music to see it or hear it discussed,

you'll hear a lot about whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes,

sixteenth notes, thirty-second notes, and sixty-fourth notes, and you'll find

that violins, banjos, and some guitar strings are tuned in perfect fifths.

Answer 3

Here are some interesting facts. From one octave to the next - for example, from one C to the next C (or from one Do to the next Do, as it is called in certain countries) the vibrations per second increase exactly by a factor of 2. The human ear can hear sounds between about 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second; that makes for a range of about 10 octaves.

Each octave is divided into 12 equal parts (half-tones); from each half-tone to the next, the ratio of vibrations per second is the 12th. root of 2, or 21/12.

Answer 4

YES....TO BE MORE EXACT MUSIC IS ALL MATH, MATH IS ALL MUSIC

MAth is music, music is math: they both have counting, fractions(4/4 time,or meter), and numbers in them-I like to call music the sounds or the soundings of Math(ematics)

For the most part, if one wants to get a great grip on music, understanding the mathematical concepts of it will make the musical concepts a piece of cake-in a deep manor, to understand Music Theory, you need to understand its mathematics to a massively extreme extent(you cant really understand music, until you can understand its math)-music is more mathematical than music itself-Again, i like to call music: the sounds of math, or/and the equation of music-the notation themselves are symbols of mathematics

Hope this helps-to get more info on this i insist in drum instructer

Answer 5

yes! the difrent noted stand for how long you hold a note. without math there would be alot of sorry music!

Answer 6

Yes. For example, you must add up the beats in a bar

Answer 7

yes
