Music language is the same as any language - language can be written or spoken. Language functions as code for communicating with one another. We can categorize language as being of two types: the “natural” language and “numeric” one.
The “natural” language uses “words”, whereas the “numeric” language uses “mathematical” forms. We see patterns in music just as in mathematics, and they are not lifeless formulas, since they can be used to express harmony and beauty. It is helpful that such languages can sometimes cross barriers between race and religions as well.
Just as mathematical formulars can only be interpreted in one way, music is also structured in a same way. In music, each measure has its own number of beats. If the time signature is given as 2/4 time, it means there are two beats in a measure. When one begins taking apiano lesson or any other musical lessons, it is important that he or she learns how to count music in each measure early on.
You can play a melody and then transpose it to another key - either for the beauty of it, or to make it possible to play on different musical instruments. It takes maths to know how many steps each note in the transposition takes.

Studies have shown that musical training might be helpful to spatial reasoning of younger learners. It also shows that if learners understand fractions and ratios, it will help them to better understand patterns of notes and timing in music. Therefore, there is a connection between music and mathematics, which has a very positive effect on brain development.
