Music and Math in Harmony

by Paul VanRaden

Summary

A variety of scales, tuning systems, and types of harmony are derived using simple math. The resulting tones are mapped onto a new piano keyboard. Traditional music theory uses a standard keyboard with an uneven key pattern that has been copied without thought for more than 700 years. On a new, electronic keyboard with evenly spaced keys, beginners could choose fewer tones and professionals could choose more tones to produce different and better music.
