Tip of the Week - Frequency

On this edition of Tip of the Week we’re covering frequency

As we go through the world we experience a barrage of sensory information.  Sights, smells, touch, tastes, and of course: Sounds.  Just think about all the sounds you hear on a daily basis.  Traffic, voices, planes, animals, and music!  Did you know that all these sounds are actually waveforms?  Frequency is the number of positive and negative cycles of a waveform over time

In music, when we talk about notes or pitches, we are actually describing specific measurable frequencies.  In Western music 440hz is defined as A3.  Here we can define an Octave.  To arrive at an octave for any note, all you have to do is double or half the frequency.  Therefore, 220hz and 880hz are defined as A2 and A4 respectively.  Just lower and higher pitches of the same note.  From here we can dive into music theory
