Mathematics explains the workings of the universe, from particle physics to engineering and economics. Math is even closely related to music, and their common ground has something to do with a Rubik's Cube puzzle. Michael Staff explains how group theory can teach us to play a Rubik’s Cube like a piano.

At Piano Wizard Academy, while we don't teach music theory as part of our curriculum (because you don't need to know it to play piano) , we invite you to explore and study music theory. First, it's a fascinating subject, deeply connected to math and science. Secondly, once you master the concepts, you can become quite an accomplished musician if you choose to be.
