Index Relative pitch

Relative pitch is the ability of a person to identify or re-create a given musical note by comparing it to a reference note and identifying the interval between those two notes. [1]

Absolute pitch

Absolute pitch (AP), often called perfect pitch, is the ability to identify or re-create a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone. Relative pitch and Absolute pitch are Cognitive musicology, music cognition, music psychology and pitch (music).

See Relative pitch and Absolute pitch

C (musical note)

C or Do is the first note of the C major scale, the third note of the A minor scale (the relative minor of C major), and the fourth note (G, A, B, C) of the Guidonian hand, commonly pitched around 261.63 Hz.

See Relative pitch and C (musical note)

Concert pitch

Concert pitch is the pitch reference to which a group of musical instruments are tuned for a performance. Relative pitch and Concert pitch are pitch (music).

See Relative pitch and Concert pitch

Drone (sound)

In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or all of a piece.

See Relative pitch and Drone (sound)

Ear training

In music, ear training is the study and practice in which musicians learn various aural skills to detect and identify pitches, intervals, melody, chords, rhythms, solfeges, and other basic elements of music, solely by hearing. Relative pitch and ear training are Singing.

Historically informed performance

Historically informed performance (also referred to as period performance, authentic performance, or HIP) is an approach to the performance of classical music which aims to be faithful to the approach, manner and style of the musical era in which a work was originally conceived.

Just intonation

In music, just intonation or pure intonation is the tuning of musical intervals as whole number ratios (such as 3:2 or 4:3) of frequencies.

See Relative pitch and Just intonation

Musical notation

Musical notation is any system used to visually represent music.

See Relative pitch and Musical notation

Musical note

In music, notes are distinct and isolatable sounds that act as the most basic building blocks for nearly all of music.

See Relative pitch and Musical note

Numerical sight-singing

Numerical sight-singing, an alternative to the solfege system of sight-singing, is a musical notation system that numbers the diatonic scale with the numbers one through eight (or, alternately, one to seven, with the octave again being one). Relative pitch and Numerical sight-singing are Singing.

See Relative pitch and Numerical sight-singing

Octave

In music, an octave (octavus: eighth) or perfect octave (sometimes called the '''diapason''') is a series of eight notes occupying the interval between (and including) two notes, one having twice the frequency of vibration of the other.

See Relative pitch and Octave

Solfège

In music, solfège or solfeggio, also called sol-fa, solfa, solfeo, among many names, is a mnemonic used in teaching aural skills, pitch and sight-reading of Western music.

See Relative pitch and Solfège

Tonal memory

In music, tonal memory or "aural recall" is the ability to remember a specific tone after it has been heard. Relative pitch and tonal memory are music psychology.

See Relative pitch and Tonal memory

W. A. Mathieu
