One good source of classroom activities and lesson plans relating to music is the Music Education Launch Site. You'll find lessons here for all grade levels, including activities for your youngest and most advanced students. There is a direct corralation between music and math. Musical note timing, tempo and musical scales can all be expressed in mathematical terms and there are many math courses that study the connection between numbers and music. Your advanced math students may enjoy exploring one such course, Music and Physics , offered by Northwestern University.
