]]>1. Music and Math:
One extraordinary individual who exemplifies the connection between music and math is the renowned composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As a child prodigy, he possessed an innate understanding of complex mathematical patterns, which he seamlessly incorporated into his musical compositions. The video below demonstrates how music and math intertwine by showcasing the harmonious interplay between numbers and musical notes on a cello and a piano.
2. Baking Muffins and Math:
Julia Child, an esteemed chef, and beloved food writer, captivated audiences in both Paris and the United States for decades. Among her many culinary skills, baking muffins required precise measurements, emphasizing the importance of mathematics. The video below showcases the usefulness of standard muffin tins, holding ten muffins. This is why we utilize muffins to achieve strong measuring skills, while baking blueberry muffins.
Watch this video below on how muffin tins work:
3. Chess as a Mathematical Challenge:
Bobby Fischer, a young genius in the realm of chess, dedicated his life to playing against other champions. Chess, much like mathematics, is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries. Regardless of language barriers, chess teaches essential qualities such as discipline, focus, strategy, patience, confidence, endurance, clarity, and the ability to make informed decisions under pressure. The video below highlights a large chess club in Cincinnati, Ohio, demonstrating how chess enhances mathematical abilities plus INCREASES TEST SCORES!
You don’t need to speak Russian to play against someone in Moscow or Spanish to play someone in Madrid. The lessons in chess will carry forward from a young child to muture adult because through this game and the other creative endevours we promote foster a belief in ourselves.
Engaging in these activities not only cultivates an understanding of basic math but also imparts a wealth of valuable life lessons. Through weekly practice, children can develop important attributes such as motivation, a positive attitude, patience, endurance, focus, good judgment, humor, measurement skills and sequencing.
In conclusion, learning music with Mozart, playing chess, and baking muffins are all experiences that can contribute to children’s elevated understanding of basic math. These activities provide a unique and holistic approach to education, fostering the development of various skills and qualities that extend far beyond mathematics alone. By engaging in these multi-sensory experiences, children can gain a deeper appreciation for math while simultaneously enhancing their overall cognitive abilities and joy of learning.
“Lessons in Life Learned” while playing chess, listening to music, measuring muffins – Your children will achieve, by weekly practice, all of this and MORE! What value can we put on these great experiential lessons? Find out with these two brand new classes on ZOOM starting on Wednesday, September 6th after Labor Day USA.

Give it a try. Math, Music, Muffins & Chess! Our goal is to give your children the most fun and the best learning results. Each of these classes is creative and full of special interactive “ah-ha!” moments…
It’s really about building up their “patience and confidence” with chess as we listen to Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart – then measure and bake muffins…
It’s a well-known researched fact that “chess” has a strong corellation with success in math and provides a great focus and endurance skill-set. Watch this amazing TedX Talk video:
We are all going through so many changes in our world, pre-Covid-19 and now, more than ever. This is a safe and “socially distant way to become closer to your family and friends too!” – without leaving home – you can have your children learn math in an engaging mixture of music, baking-muffins, and learning how to play chess.

Why do we want to bake muffins with children? This activity takes place inside our highly creative right brain; We also teach an appreciation of classical composers at the prodigy-level like Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach to increase your kids’ listening experience. While we have great fun and even upper-body exercise actually “conducting masterpieces” – the whole class will open-up their comprehension, patience, and JOY receptors! Meanwhile, in this video below, see how using their other senses to bake Muffins and taste them with their family – will also learn mathematical measurements, sequences, timing, and still have great fun baking. We also show young children how to set up the game of chess – encouraging them to focus, build patience and strategize… They will surely build confidence that anything is possible!
Notice how many cognitive activities are exercised in this unique baking video:

The pschological term of a “Mozart Effect,” according to our saxiphone mathematician musician below, is really the “Enjoyment Effect” that kids find in Music can also lead to Joy in Math.
With Math, sometimes we’re afraid to ask others to guide us properly and learn deeply, or we don’t think we’re good enough to succeed. We can be our own worst critics. Kids will sometimes judge themselves and feel that they are not good at “learning math.” The truth is that they need to have FUN – trust their teachers and parents to give them every opportunity to succeed. This is why using FUN and creative activities like Music, Muffins & Chess is a slam dunk for building confidence and skills in Math!
In our curriculum of each class every day, these creative modalities are, stirred and mixed into the other like a cake batter. By working with young children with exciting Music, Muffins & Chess sequentially and repeatedly, mathematics basics are also positively reinforced.
The children learning in these classes will never forget these creative connections. Music, Muffins & Chess is a way to open the door to new possibilities. Your children can always do more when we challenge their minds to cognitively grow…
So you’ve guessed it…I hope to become your homeschool “cheerleader.”
When we all watch these great ‘tutorial’ videos on learning math inside of musical chords and songs — we will see well reinforced early BASIC math can bring your children to extraordinarily high levels of knowledge!
