It All Adds Up

- Arts Subject: Music
- Non-Arts Subject: Math
- Grades: K, 1, 2, 3, 4
- Program Types: Mini Residency
In this residency, students learn to strengthen and reinforce basic math skills through the use of music. Music contains many direct connections to numbers - counting beats and measures, creating and playing rhythms, and composing music with 5, 8, 10, or 12 musical tones. Recognizing and identifying patterns both in musical phrases and number sequences is explored, as well. Dave engages the students in this process by using an electronic keyboard and laptop computer, and they find both excitement and fascination in this Math and Music journey.
