Lesson 4 - Melodic Exercises -

The Mathematical Foundations of Indian Rhythm
This series of lessons will help students learn math using visualizations and hands-on exercises based on the Karnatic rhythmic system of South India. Karnatik music involves a deep, embodied understanding of mathematical proportions, symmetry, and linear rhythmic combinations. Through exposure to these creative methods, students will gain a richer understanding of the aesthetics of mathematical principles and use multiple learning modalities to visualize, hear, and feel musical proportions, combinations, and relationships. The lessons also provide a kind of cultural immersion that helps to bolster students' understanding of how math and music are interconnected around the world.

Wow, fist time I see an Indian explaining temperament, and even western musician are not aware about it! That is what I love in Indian music but not only. Centuries ago, even organs were tuned in inequal temperament. Great, magistral !
But you're more explaining scales than temperaments in fact. You know I did a database with all the scales in the world by cultures, with common scales also. And India is the huge winner in the sense of number of scales, like 411! And melakarta is a subset of them, with some rules like 7 notes, always the fifth, ie 72 scales.
