Interpreting Audible Intervals into Visual Learning Tools

Sounds are intertwined in a mathematical network, and this project attempts to visualize the exponential factors used in determining musical frequencies. Considering that consecutive sounds are related mathematically, particularly musical sounds constructed on multiplicative ratios, could the visualization of sounds represent their mathematical relation? Of course representing sounds in a visual format is not a novel concept as there are many forms of notation, particularly for musical sounds. However if traditional musical notation is filled with visual discrepancies, is it an accurate visual representation? This project questions the visual accuracy of popular musical notation. Furthermore an alternative notation was created and compared to traditional music notation. In a small study, the alternative notation has proven to be more accessible to non-musicians while remaining accessible to musicians. While this alternative is not meant to replace traditional notation, as visualizing rhythm has not been attempted, it could be used as an interactive tool for those without musical knowledge. Also, the basics of the alternative notation are outlined
