Math in Motion is a music theory course from Classical Conversations that helps familiarize students with the language and "grammar" of music. This course covers the foundations of music including pitch, rhythm, simple & compound meter, scales, key signatures, scale degrees and transposition, intervals, triads and triad qualities, triad inversions, and more. Twelve chapters feature activities, practice exercises, review and bonus chapters to engage students at all levels, a final project that asks students to analyze a musical score and discover its essential elements, and helpful tools and charts. Easy-to-understand lessons with bolded important terms are followed by exercises to practice directly in the book; large margins provide extra space for notes. Scripture is taken from the KJV.
