The following is just a suggested scenario for kicking off a class investigation using the Music Algorithms’ Division Operation to compose a scale based on the first ten Fibonacci numbers (the specifics are easy to modify, but there is an interesting reason for starting with only the first ten).
Materials:
- Computer with internet access
- Computer projector and screen
- Computer speakers
Activity Procedure:
Scales (Part One): Using the Division Operation on the Pianos Range
Scales (Part Two): Using the Division Operation on Other Instruments Ranges
