The Math Of Music

Grades 4th To 8th – Not Available Spring 2016

Join the creators of DrumsRcool including critically acclaimed drummer, producer, and composer David Rozenblatt and New York City Ballet Orchestra percussionist Pablo Rieppi for their latest touring destination… Launch! In this workshop kids get an exciting, hands-on look at the way math influences how they hear, understand and perform music. From constructing percussion instruments with household materials to learning how to read music using fractions, kids experience the musical side of gravity, the mathematical side of rhythm, and the scientific side of sound. By the end of the semester, kids will not only be able to play a full on “rock beat” but they’ll understand the math and science behind it! No experience with musical instruments required.
