Chapter Summary: Frequency in science terms is the same thing as pitch in musical terms. Intensity is the same as loudness, and wave form is the same as quality. "Any sound wave that is not regular is called noise." Humans can hear way higher than the highest note on the piano but only a little bit lower than the lowest note on the piano in comparison. A higher pitch from the same energy source will have a greater intensity than a lower pitch. "Doubling any quantity only adds three decibels."
Key Concepts: Scientists and musicians often discuss similar topics but use different terminology. Higher pitches have stronger intensities than lower pitches of the same instrument.
Key Terms: noise, "natural level" vs "habitual level," decibels, venturi effect, wave form, beat phenomenon
Making Connections: I need to focus more on creating a good high note than trying to project the sound. If it's a free sound, the note will carry easily to the audience. I also need to always make sure I am exactly on pitch for choir in particular because there are so many people who could have different frequencies.
