Music is a rich context in which educators can develop children's mathematics language and concepts. Shilling (2002) suggests that, through a classification of sounds and movement, children's mathematical understanding and skills are enhanced. I identifies a strong link between the order, timing, beat and rhythm of music and attributes of mathematics such as counting, sequencing and understanding time and order.

The integration of music into children's mathematical and physical activities  supports and enables teachers to make learning both music and mathematics more meaningful for the children. Music is a very helpful when it comes to learning mathematics or any other academic area.
