Musical Notes on Math

Musical Notes on Math

Dr. Frank has developed her unique, one of a kind, math to rhythm program for children!

Her oldest son was not doing well in math. His math book had eight different authors and each page contained eight different math teaching concepts. She decided to simplify this to only one math concept per page. Children learn concepts one at a time and build on this foundation. Her children have always enjoyed music and what makes music special is the rhythm. Read More


What Readers Are Saying

Congratulations on the Ten-Year Anniversary of your Musical Radio Show and Eleven-Year Anniversary of your Musical Tips! Quite the milestones! You’ve covered an amazing amount of material during those years, and given thousands of interested educators and friends musical food for thought! I know I’ve learned a lot. One of the most wonderful things to see in all of the reports you’ve provided is the strong sense of responsibility exhibited by the people you “interview” from history. I hope you will have many more years, and profit many additional people with your factual accounts.  Many Happy Returns! Warmest regards – Elizabeth Hamilton

“Thank you for sharing Madeline –  I found that very relaxing to read. I look forward to being more constructive. There was also a great deal of information I would have missed had I not listened. You have a way of clearly making a bold emphasis and making me question the ends of statements, with a great deal of accentuation to focus on for critical thinking. I would like to think I am learning from it.”  –  George Snow
