pitch in music
Pitch in music is the frequency of a sound that can be measured in hertz (Hz). It determines how high or low a note sounds.
The accuracy of the pitch prevents a wrong note from playing, causing a less then pleasant sound.
Most bands and orchestras will use A440Hz to turn their instruments.
