3.1.2 Pitch: High Pitch vs Low Pitch
Here’s the tone property pitch, as Annie and Frank explain it:
Any note you can reach, I can go higher. I can sing anything higher than you. (High) No you can’t. (Higher) Yes I can. (Higher) No you can’t. (Higher) Yes I can (etc.)
As creatures with keen visual imaginations, humans like to convert the properties of tones into visual metaphors, like this:
Pitch = “height” of sound
We all use expressions such as “high pitched” and “low pitched.” A tune goes “up” and “down” as it steps from tone to tone.
