Lesson 2 - Dividing Beats - #MathScienceMusic

The Mathematical Foundations of Indian Rhythm This series of lessons will help students learn math using visualizations and hands-on exercises based on the Karnatic rhythmic system of South India. Karnatik music involves a deep, embodied understanding of mathematical proportions, symmetry, and linear rhythmic combinations. Through exposure to these creative methods, students will gain a richer understanding of the aesthetics of mathematical principles and use multiple learning modalities to visualize, hear, and feel musical proportions, combinations, and relationships. The lessons also provide a kind of cultural immersion that helps to bolster students' understanding of how math and music are interconnected around the world.
