The pitch of the note being what makes it sound high or low.

These numbers can define exactly what octave you are in. The octaves change with every C. For example, If you start on C1 and play all notes up to the next C on your keyboard that C is then C2.
example:
C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, A1, B1, C2, D2,   E2, F2, G2, and so on till the next C.]]> 2018-11-15 14:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/304829424 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/304834621 On a normal 88 note piano there is 8 C's and each C has a number value. Starting from the far left of the piano you can find the first c which is known as C1 and going up to each C you add a number value. For most people, they find C4, known more commonly as middle C and since C4 is the middle of the 8 C keys on the 88 key piano.]]> 2018-11-15 15:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/304834621 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305210291 For most singers, C4 is a very good place for singers as it is in the very middle of most peoples range, especially for sopranos and altos.

On treble clef the first ledger line below is C4 as well, thus on a staff, C4 bridges the two clefs together. And again, with every new C that is a new octave name.]]> 2018-11-16 12:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305211840 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305213669 By having C4 be automatically known as the bridge of notes on the staff, and the middle C of the piano, it's then easiest for piano players to then read staffs and know exactly where their hands should be and know exactly what octave they start on. For orchestras, the note A4 is used as a tuning note for instrument's, A4 also known as concert pitch.]]> 2018-11-16 12:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305213669 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305214181 Using what we know about octave and pitch we can go into further detail, though it may not be exactly necessary to understand, so those who are open to the idea of learning, keep reading.

Lets use A4 as an example. A4 has the frequency of 440Hz. The next octave, being A5, has double the frequency of A4 and thus, is 880Hz. The higher the herts, the faster the frequency, and the faster the frequency, the higher the pitch. ]]> 2018-11-16 12:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305214181 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305220925 2018-11-16 13:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305220925 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305224432 2018-11-16 13:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305224432 noellefh1 https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305225843 And thats about how you see, hear and read octave! ]]> 2018-11-16 13:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/noellefh1/ks5chuguimez/wish/305225843
