As many of you know, music and math are intimately linked. Music involves counting, fractions, algebra....and we do all this math without even realizing it! This week in my teacher's education math class we had the pleasure of discovering Disney's contribution to math and music education - we watched the classic Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land. For those of you who haven't seen it, it is well worth your time to watch it.
This is about a half-hour movie, and it covers many more concepts besides the connection between music and math. The narrator and Donald Duck start discussing music at 2:45, but if you have the time, I would encourage you to watch the whole thing for pure enjoyment.
Enjoy!
