Abstract
This paper reports developments in the use of sonifications and sonification software for educational purposes. Adolescent subjects received training in Cartesian graphing over several sessions with sonification software and a sonification-enhanced curriculum. The project attracted students with low linguistic and logical-mathematical capabilities. Students were engaged by musical composition activities, but they remained anxious about traditional mathematics activities. Though students' mathematical abilities improved only slightly according to a traditional mathematical assessment, this project demonstrated the students' increased comfort level with the subject of mathematics and an increased understanding of the concepts within their own set of linguistics.
