Great building!
For grown-ups: KS2 maths (fractions of a whole, equivalent fractions, adding fractions to make 1) taught through KS2 music notation (duration and note value). A bar of 4/4 is the whole; a semibreve is 1, a minim ½, a crotchet ¼, a quaver ⅛. A note that will not fit is shown overflowing the bar rather than being blocked, so the reason is visible. Completed bars play back, so the arithmetic is audible. Ages 7–10.
