4. You and two classmates start a band, each playing one instrument. Your first song is two seconds long where you combine to play the musical notes C4, E4 and G4. [ 6 points ] a. Calculate the ratio between the frequency of the E4 and C4 (E_ / C.) music notes. Find a simple fraction that as matches this ratio as closely as you can (your fraction should have small integers in the numerator and denominator) In music, this ratio between frequencies of notes is called a major third. [ 3 points ] b. Calculate the ratio between the frequency of the G4 and C. (G4 / C) music notes. Find a simple fraction that as matches this ratio as closely as you can. In music, this ratio between frequencies of notes is called a major fifth. [ 3 points) Simple ratios between the frequency of music notes sound “nice" when played together and often form the basis for musical chords. The C, E, and G notes make the musical C chord. You can listen to this chord (and learn to play it on a piano) on youtube at the link here. You need to know nothing about musical chords for our class, but isn't that cool!
