MATHEMATICS APPLIED TO THE MUSIC TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS

Abstract

This research aims to investigate about the relationships between music and mathematics to be used with didactic purposes and to assist in the teaching / learning process of these two areas of learning through an interdisciplinary approach with an emphasis on music education, using mathematics to support the understanding of musical structures. The purpose of the study was to verify how the mathematical relationships can help understanding musical structures and how this approach can help music educators in teaching these contents in the classroom. In addition, the proposals presented in this study can be used by music educators as an inspiration for improvising in the classroom, with the search of new sonorities, as well as the fundamentals to analyze post-tonal compositions.
