Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound, while a note is a symbol that represents a pitch. The same note can be played at different pitches, as pitch is determined by the vibration rate - a lower pitch has a slower vibration rate than a higher pitch. According to science, sound itself is caused by vibrations, with the standard tuning note of A vibrating 440 times per second.

4. Pitch vs Note Pitch: The relative highness or lowness of a sound Note: A symbol that represents a pitch

5. Same note…different pitches

6. Not all instruments have pitch…. But we will learn more about that later.

7. Scientifically speaking… Pitch is a vibration For example, American bands and orchestras tune to “A440”, which means that the note vibrates 440 times in one second. Lower pitch = less vibrations

8. “Sound is vibrations”
