Orchestra Victoria and The Wedge present:

What Noise Do Numbers Make?

Hidden inside the melodies we love and the instruments we play… are numbers.

It might sound crazy, but without maths, music as we know it just wouldn’t be possible! The beauty and emotion that music can make us feel, the catchiness of a tune, the way a famous symphony unfolds over time, all of the things that makes music ‘music’… are numbers making noise.

This engaging and innovative program explores the fascinating ways maths helps create the music we love. You and your students will join Orchestra Victoria in a vibrant, educational concert that unpacks the secret musical life of numbers, including an opportunity for your students to interactively create a brand-new piece of music for the orchestra, guided by the beauty and elegance of maths.

‘What Noise Do Numbers Make’ will captivate your entire classroom – from reluctant mathematicians and musicians, to emerging Mozarts and Mersennes – and offer you new ways to open the imaginations and minds of your students to the possibilities of music and mathematics.

After the show, dive into a kit of compelling lessons and practical activities that are mapped closely to the Victorian Curriculum, with separate, tailored, resources provided for Maths and Music classrooms, specifically designed to explore the incredible and unexpected ways music and maths overlap.
