program, based on the Kodaly method of musical education, students clap, drum and chant to memorize the lengths of musical notes?then solve problems in which fractional notes must add up to a full measure of music.

　根据分数的概念 ，一节音乐可分成长短不一的几串音符 。例如，一节四拍子的调子可包含一个代表四拍子的全音符
，两个各代表一个二拍子的二分音符，四个各代表一个一拍子的四分音符以此类推
。在?学术性音乐?项目中 ，研究人员以科达伊的音乐教育 方法 为基础
，让学生通过打拍子
、敲鼓、合唱记住各音符的长度，学生必须把这些片段加起来 ，才能得到一节完整的音乐如此实践可解决学生对分数的疑惑。

　Sixty-seven students participated in the study. Half did math problems using the Academic Music system. And after six weeks, the students in the music program averaged 50 percent higher on tests than did the kids in regular math class. Fractions create a solid foundatio
