There are several aspects. One main relation, which is quite interesting is the frequency of the musical notes. A difference of one octave corresponds to a vibration ratio of 2:1. That is, if a certain "C" has a certain frequency, then the next "C" (further to the right on the piano) has twice that frequency. Each octave is divided into 12 equal intervals; thus, the frequency ratio of one semi-note is 1 : 12th. root of 2, or about 1 : 1.0595. (On the piano, a semi-note is the interval between a white key and the black key next to it, or between two white keys if there is no black key in between.)

Do students in music programs do better at math?

Well it all depends, some people like music more than math, or math better then music.

If you listen to more music then just watching TV all day long yes, music program is able to help you in math. Depending how much effort you put in your math work :)


How is music related to math?

The beats in music are counted in maths. Also, there are many patterns and structures (not obvious at first) that are standard in a great deal of music, and they are determined with numbers. 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-the notation themselves are symbols of mathematics Hope this helps-to get more info on this i insist in drum instructer

What is the relation between music and mathematics?

You count the beats of each note, and there is a limited number of beats per measure, although there can be ties, which hold one note to another measure.Recent brain research has shown that the same part of the brain that is used for music is used for math, so by taking music the theory states, you are helping your math skills. Rap is not included in this since it only affects the reptile brain area and does nothing for critical thinking needed in math. Classical music is the best.
