Abstract

This workshop introduces the use of applications written in the program Geogebra that allow the users to investigate the mathematical and sonic landscapes given via musical notions of rhythm, scales, and temperament. Individual and group activities in the workshop are designed to inspire participants to make their own independent investigations of these landscapes. With this workshop we also hope to bring to the mathematical, musical, and educational communities new options to engage students and practitioners in mathematical and musical explorations.
