Melodies Using the Modulo Operation

image010

The following is just a suggested scenario for kicking off a class investigation in using Music Algorithms Modulo Operation to compose a melody based on the first forty Fibonacci numbers (the specifics are easy to modify, but there is an interesting reason for having only the first forty).

 Materials:

  • Computer with internet access
  • Computer projector and screen
  • Computer speakers

Activity Procedure:

Melodies (Part One): Using the Modulo Operation on the Pianos Range

Melodies (Part Two): Using the Modulo Operation on Other Instruments Ranges
