Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between music and spatial-temporal reasoning. Beginning with the background of brain development and spatial reasoning, the study specifically looks at the possible relationship between music and mathematics. Additionally, it examines the effects of listening to music while engaging in mathematical activities.
The study introduces the reader to "S.T.A.R.", Spatial Temporal Animation Reasoning software, which is integrated into the school curriculum of music and technology at the second grade level. The study concludes with a review of the positive impact of music on reasoning abilities.
