PrintableCongratulations 
Your interest in music and your newly found love of mathematics makes perfect sense. On a technical level, music is math. Your observation that your study of math has altered "the way I have to use my logic" is very insightful. Don't be surprised if you decide to change your avatar to pic of Spock. 
Not only logical, but a helluva lyrette player "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Now, I am student teaching... and just today my 2nd grade students began 3rd grade Excel Math, they were so hyped.
 I clearly can see... that a positive attitude and a new way of teaching (with enthusiasm) is vital and can go a long way. Math has to be instilled positively at a very young age... and taught in a manner in which Math is felt/believed to be fun.  As I taught the lesson today... I kept thinking to myself as the children were so excited to do Math... "Where was the fun when I was young, I don't remember a damn thing, only...  ."
There are studies being done that seem to indicate that learning to play a musical instrument can increase a child's aptitude in mathematics. As you are a teacher, you might find these articles interesting (that's if you're not already familiar with them): http://www.childrensmusic...smind.html http://www.math.niu.edu/~...ath/music/ "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

I hate math and science in school. I loved everything else. Me and math do not see eye to eye.
