Computational musicology

Computational musicology is like playing music with a computer. Just like how you play your favorite music on a piano or guitar, scientists and musicians use the computer to learn more about music. They ask the computer questions like "What makes a song happy or sad?" or "What notes go well together?"

The computer then uses math and algorithms to analyze the songs and patterns in the music. These patterns help scientists and musicians understand how music works and what makes different kinds of music sound the way they do. It can also help them create new music that sounds really good!

Overall, computational musicology helps us learn and understand more about the music we love and even create new music that we might love even more!
