The Connection Between Frequencies 📊
Music and math are closely intertwined. At its core, music is composed of sound waves, and these can be described mathematically via frequencies and harmonics. Understanding the mathematics behind music can deepen your appreciation and ability to create it!
Musical Ratios and Intervals 🎵💡
The most harmonious sounds often come from notes whose frequencies form simple numerical ratios. For example, the octave is a 2:1 ratio, and the fifth is 3:2. These ratios have been recognized since the era of Pythagoras and form the basis of musical tuning systems.
