Ever wonder what it would be like to be the music deejay that plays the songs at the dances? Nowadays, with the advent of personal music players and computer software, it is easy for almost anyone to do what deejays used to do with only a couple of turntables, a mixer, and a collection of records. One skill for the traditional deejay was to be able to mix two pieces of music. In other words, as one song neared its conclusion, the deejay had to start another song in a way that maintained continuity to the flow of songs. In order blend songs like a pro, you need to match the tempos of the outgoing track and the incoming track.

 

In the Math Lab that follows, you will analyze the tempo of your favourite songs by calculating the beats per minute.
