Using Math To Teach Harmony

Example question from the SAT test (when I took it in 1988)“Complete the sequence:

1,2,3; 2,3,4; 3,4,5;...”

Playing sequences helps students learn scale relationships more thoroughly than a classical scale book.
It may seem commonplace to Jazz musicians, but it’s revelatory for many classical musicians.
Another example of how classical musicians can benefit from exploring the skillsets and learning styles of other musical traditions.
