Subject: math music scale

hello pinholers!

during the summer institute last summer, we learned of
the mathmatical origin of the 8 (12) note scale. i
forgot most of what i learned, but it seemed like it
would fit well into my current unit on sound. the
only thing i remember is something about the square
root of 12? also, i remember something about a 3:2
ratio in frequencies, so maybe it was the square root
of one and a half which is 1.2 which looks kinda like
12? i tried an unsuccessful web search. anyone?

keep the funk alive
