I found it interesting to learn about why the Golden Ratio can be solidified with most of the things on Earth, such as flowers. Pythagoras' Greek Tuning also caught my attention because the whole concept was simply one note that contained overtones. I enjoyed learning about the Tuvan throat singing because it was definitely something new, acknowledging how unique music aspects can go. The way a simple movement of the mouth can change the tones at the same time, intrigues me. Lastly, what was the real purpose Pythagoras connected music with math?

What I liked about this post was how it connected math and music in a way that actually made sense. I’ve heard of the Golden Ratio before but never thought about how it could be related to music. I thought the part about octaves and the way we hear them as the “same” note, just higher or lower, was really interesting. Also, the explanation of the circle of fifths helped me understand how music is built off simple ratios and patterns.
