How can I make the pitch change? What’s the difference between producing musical notes on a violin vs. a ukulele (and a piano)? Why does the same “note” sound different on a violin vs. a ukulele vs. a piano?

PITCH VS. FREQUENCY
15
- Frequency is an objective property of sounds in
the physical world: a physical (acoustic) property.
- Pitch is a perceived property of sounds.
▸ Frequency: a physical attribute of a sound, which can be measured
in cycles per second, or Hertz (we will look at cycles and pitch measurement in detail soon)
▸ Pitch: "that property of a sound that enables it to be ordered on a
scale going from low to high" (Acoustical Society of America)
▸ While it is not correct to equate pitch and frequency, it is true that
the main physical correlate of pitch is frequency.

PITCH IN THE HUMAN VOICE

FREQUENCY OF THE VOICE
18
The frequency of the voice is the rate of vocal fold vibration at that timepoint.
▸ Watch what happens to the vocal folds as you hear pitch
going up and down
