The document discusses various visual methods for teaching music note duration to students. It suggests using fractions as they are easy to visualize and relate to the length of music notes. Examples are provided comparing quarter, half and whole notes. Connections are drawn between fractions, music notes, and real-life examples like money to make the concepts more tangible and aid understanding. A multi-modal approach using visuals, audio, text and video is recommended based on the needs of individual students.

Music and Math Visuals for teaching music note duration
Visual Value Need for multiple methods of representations Alternative method of explanation Increases interest, increases appeal of learning
Visual- only one aspect Other representations are just as important. audio, text, video Choose representation based on need Together they offer well rounded explanations Each have strengths and weakness.
Fractions A natural way to explain music duration Fractions are easy to visualize and representation Teaching by connecting to previous knowledge Visuals images of fractions can relate be related to length of music note
Music Notes Display various types of music notes Connect note image to fraction representation Then connect fraction image to sound length

Example Visual Comparing quarter, half, and whole notes
Example Visual This visual compares the number of notes used in one measure if only one type of note is used.
Example Visual This sample image shows the relationship among the note durations. Two half notes = One Whole Note
Money, Money, Money! Money is a tangible object used for representation Real-life connections Make connection between similarity of names Four quarter make a whole dollar Four quarter notes make a whole note
