sorry to bring this back up again..

but...

If not all, most music are in base 7 form, for example the piano..

0 C
1 D
2 E
3 F
4 G
5 A
6 B
10 C
11 D
12 E
13 F
14 G
15 A
16 B
20 C

and so on.. and for example in a base 7.... 3*3=12 and 10x10 = 100 is equivalant of 3*3=0 and 7x7=49 in base 10...

but why piano, or music in general,is in base 7(or base 12 if you count the black notes ?)... and why does base 7 music sound so good ? i cannot imagine music in like... for example base 10... also... if a child was brought up studying math in base 7... and was taught music theory / instruments since a kid... would he be able to think / memorize equations like a song ? or memorize a song like a chain of numbers ? because do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do, would be same as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10

would math equations in base 7 make sense in music ? what would some repeating decimal in base 7 sound like in music ?

So you could sing your numbers, but you'd have to have perfect pitch recognition to interpret them, perhaps one would if it was taught this way from early on.

Certainly mathematics and music are much related.

A proffessor of mathematics is coming to our highschool to teach on modulu functions (x mod y) for our 'matheletes' club. T'will be fun.

In high school, there was a traditional call and response each class had around their graduating year:
Rando: "Two-oh!"
Crowd: "Oh Four!"

My nerd clique had a countertradition:
"One one one one one!"
"Zero one zero one zero zero!"

Someone with polydactyly could readily deal with base twelve. Otherwise what can you do with the extra digits.

Chisanbop or finger math would be no different except for the base.
