Pitch & Notes

An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double its frequency. It forms the basis of Western tonal organization and appears in virtually all musical contexts.

In music, pitch refers to the perceived frequency of a sound, determining how high or low a note sounds. It is a fundamental element of melody, harmony, and tuning across all musical traditions.

A musical note is a written symbol that represents a specific pitch and duration in Western music notation. It combines visual elements to convey how a sound should be performed, serving as the basic building block of melodies and rhythms.
