Scales Using the Division Operation

image010

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
