Math and Music

When I tell other adults that I teach both math and music I often hear, "Oh, those two subjects together well," or, "They have a lot in common."

My question, to all of my non-blog-following, passing-by readers, is what does math and music have in common?

I have some answers for myself, but I want to hear your answers. I want to hear how you might connect the two subjects for middle school aged kids with no background in music (or math...?). How can they organically be connected? How can we discover the connections, instead of showing or telling the connections? Are there any pure connections? Please share discuss.

I thought this amazing man (above) could help give us influence to draw upon.
