System to teach mathematics using virtual musical instruments and associated methods

A system to teach mathematics using virtual musical instruments displayed on a client computing device comprising:

• a database;
• an application;
• a plurality of mathematical equations stored in the database, each mathematical equation comprising a composite of musical notes and mathematical operators;
• and
• a plurality of answers to the plurality of mathematical equations stored in the database, wherein the musical notes of a song correlate to answers to the mathematical equations in the database;
• wherein the application is configured to present a mathematical equation on the client computing device in response to a user selecting a song, and to display a correct indicator in response to the user solving the mathematical equation correctly when the user plays a musical note on the virtual musical instrument corresponding to the numerical answer that correlates to the song.

A method to teach mathematics using virtual musical instruments displayed on a client computing device comprising:

• generating an account for users to access an application on the client computing device;
• providing access to the application using the client computing device;
• verifying the account to permit access to the application;
• receiving a selection for a song to use for the mathematics lesson;
• displaying an equation comprising a composite of musical notes and mathematical operators;
• receiving user input from a virtual musical instrument displayed on the client computing device and that corresponds to the numerical answer to the equation, wherein the user input comprises playing a musical note selected on the virtual musical instrument by the user;
• displaying the next equation comprising a composite of musical notes and mathematical operators where the numerical answer is the next musical note of the song;
• and
• repeating displaying the next equation until at least a portion of the song is played on the virtual musical instrument.
