3. Note Value and Placement
Each note has a mathematical value in relation to all other notes.
Dotted notes are equal to the note plus one half.

4. Frequency and Pitch
Different spaces on the staff represent different pitches.
Pitch is the vibration you hear.
The faster the vibration, the higher the pitch.
C =
D =
E =
F =
G =
A =
B =

5. Some pitches
When Frequencies are an octave apart, the higher note is exactly double that of the lower note.
55 is the lowest A note on a piano, 440 is just below middle C on a piano.

6. The Basics
The two numbers found at the beginning of a musical piece are called a time signature.
Meter and Pulse
