Music and math are deeply intertwined.
From the numbering of the notes within a scale, to the chord numbering system, to connections between the Euclidean algorithm and rhythm, the “mathe-musical” beat goes on. In this webinar, we will join an imaginary band featuring Pythagoras, Euclid and Fibonacci.
Explore the mathematics behind Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” using the guitar fretboard, the keys on a keyboard, rhythm, and more, all leading to the grand finale of a rap tribute to the Pythagorean Theorem.

“Wow, the innovative tie between music and math is genius. I play 8 different instruments so was following along beautifully. It was music to my ears, pun intended.” — Maria Reyna, Academy of Health Science Professions & STEM (Texas)
