How Do Music and Math Relate?

What do math and music have in common? Think of ratios, patterns, fractions, sound frequencies, and more! Numbers tell us a lot about music! Math explains why notes sound higher than others, why instruments look the way they are, and why some sounds are more pleasing to the ear than others. Math and music are universal languages and use patterns to convey meaning and emotion! Math can be used to describe the unity and structure of music. Connecting music to math makes math more interesting, relevant, and enjoyable!
