Loudness, or intensity of a song can be connected with anger, while softer songs would suggest tenderness, sadness, or fear (Bhat et al 360). Higher overall pitch can be an indicator of happiness, carefree and light moods within a song, while lower pitch implies a darker, sad, and serious tone.

No music, except modern experimental pieces, uses all 12 tones. Most music uses the 7-tone or diatonic scale to divide octaves, and much of folk music uses five tones.

The pitch named “A” is the lowest frequency, and the pitch named “G” is the highest. The white keys on a piano keyboard are assigned these letters, as shown below.

A tone is a sound of single frequency. Note is a combination of tones of different frequencies.

In the chromatic scale there are 7 main musical notes called A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. They each represent a different frequency or pitch. For example, the “middle” A note has a frequency of 440 Hz and the “middle” B note has a frequency of 494 Hz.

The tone in a story indicates a particular feeling. It can be joyful, serious, humorous, sad, threatening, formal, informal, pessimistic, and optimistic. Your tone in writing will be reflective of your mood as you are writing.

Pure Note is a vocal term, meaning a tone with a sinusoidal sound wave, considered the most pure vocal tone.

In psychoacoustics, a pure tone is a sound with a sinusoidal waveform; that is, a sine wave of any frequency, phase, and amplitude. A pure tone of any frequency and phase can be decomposed into, or built up from, a sine wave and a cosine wave of that frequency.

His definition is “a Pure Tone sound is a pressure disturbance that fluctuates sinusoidally as a fixed frequency”. The example I use when speaking with clients is squealing brakes or the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard.

This style of pure tone singing requires the most regular, most precise positioning and closure of the vocal cords. By contrast there are popular or folk musicians who may have a very soft quality to their voice.

Straight tone singing is always extremely tiring to the voice, frequently inhibits vocal progress in solo singing, and sometimes damages the voice. It features vocal technique that emphasizes closed throat, high laryngeal position, tension in the larynx, and heavy mechanism-dominant vocalism.

Soprano Audrey Luna Makes History At New York’s Metropolitan Opera : NPR. Soprano Audrey Luna Makes History At New York’s Metropolitan Opera Audrey Luna hits an A above high C in her performance in “The Exterminating Angel.” That’s believed to be the highest note ever hit on the Met stage.

It should be noted that Mariah Carey famously possesses a five-octave vocal range, which is extremely rare compared to Grande’s four-octave range, which, while still very impressive, is not as rare. Some have used this fact as evidence that Carey is the superior singer.
