Abstract

Mathematics and music have commonalities and connections. However it is not often that these two disciplines are integrated for the purpose of education. From elementary to collegiate education, there are content areas within mathematics curriculum into which musical ideas can be integrated. These musical ideas can provide a context for students to explore mathematics, which has received an increasing attention in the mathematics education community as a way to help ensure and improve retention and understanding. This type of interdisciplinary approach can allow students to enjoy and comprehend certain mathematical concepts while developing complex reasoning skills as a result of learning through pragmatic encounters (Edelson and Johnson, 2003).
