Hi, just a tip: begin with everybody clapping hands and counting loud every clap, and then counting in different modulos , and then go to pd showing how pd does the same. Then the same with pitches, <div>first singing, etc...i always start with quick collective musical exercise and  then go to computer :)</div>

hello<br>
i am trying to come up with some examples to use in a short workshop<br>
with 11 year old kids using maths to make sound and music (music in<br>
very loose terms that is). i would love to use pd for this. it can be<br>
literally anything, as long as they can easily see a relation between<br>
some basic math concepts (number sequences, patterns, etc.) and the<br>
sounds they hear while interacting with the patches. the goal is not<br>
to have the kids write the patches, but to make them *play* with them.<br>
<br>
does anyone have any ideas for this? useful, easy to understand math<br>
concepts that could be turned into little musical devices?<br>
any feedback will be greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>
cheerio<br>
<br>
