Maths and Music

PROJECT PROPOSAL

Background

The purpose of this research is about the relationship between maths and music and to test a strategy which uses music-related concepts to teach math. It is known that many mathematicians play some instrument. Also, there are books about music which use a lot of mathematics in order to express music. The musician feels Mathematic and the mathematician thinks Music. Therefore, there is a link between maths and music. Music is the art of arranging sounds to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone likes music. And when it comes to education, most of the students say that mathematics is a difficult subject. Mathematics is a subject that every student must learn. Early childhood educators know the value of music in their classrooms. Most will clearly state that music contributes to the academic environment positively. Therefore strategy which uses music-related concepts to teach math can be used to teach that subject that everyone thinks that is difficult.

Objectives

This research is based on two main objectives.

1. Finding the relationship between maths and music.
2. Testing a strategy which uses music-related concepts to teach maths.

Scope

Mathematics and music plays a big role in our daily lives.  We estimate how long it will take us to get to school or work.  We pay our bills.  We cook our dinner.  We use math in all of these activities. And listening to the music eases pain, helps with focus, boost mood etc.

This research is conducted to show how the music and maths are connected to each other and to introduce a strategy which uses music-related concepts to teach math to make math more interesting for students. The report consists of the three main objectives in detail. The objectives and details will be backed^[a] up with evidence – both primary and secondary.
