Math is definitely involved in learning about music. It is involved with counting beats and measures when reading music. I know a great deal of my students are in band and whether you know it or not every time you go to band you are practicing math at the same time. You may not be writing equations or solving problems, but you are using basic math skills to stay on tempo. I found this link that explains how music can be incorporated into math lessons. One of the lessons for the seventh grade discusses musical intervals, frequency, and ratios. Another lesson for the eighth grade addresses keys and scales. It's very interesting to see how musical aspects are built-into math. Have a look for yourself!
