Slide 2 The way you perceive sounds rather high or low
frequency. Slide 3 The lowest frequency of vibration of a standing
wave. Slide 4 A series of frequencies that includes the fundamental
frequency and integral multiples of the fundamental frequency.
Slide 5 The musical quality of a tone resulting from the
combination of harmonics present at different intensities. Slide 6
The periodic variation in the amplitude of a wave that is the
superposition of two waves of slightly differently frequencies.
Slide 7 The timpani consist of copper bowls. The timpani also
consist of skins which is referred as the head, which is stretched
across a center to give the perfect sound. The drum head is
connected to a hoop attached to the bowl with tuning screws. The
tuning screws are placed regularly along the outer parts of the
drum. The head of the timpani can be adjusted rather tighter or
looser depending on the sound you are looking for or rather the
note. The standard timpani has four drums normally. You tune the
timpani by a tuning pedal positioned at the bottom of the timpani.
Slide 8 The trumpet is one of highest pitched instruments in the
brass section. The instrument is made up of several different
parts. The main part of the trumpet is the mouth piece. You control
your notes by your lips on the mouth piece. The tighter your lips
the higher the pitch. Also the looser your lips the lower the
pitch. Slide 9 The Saxophone is a woodwind instrument. It is made
up of three parts, the mouthpiece (which allows sound to be
created), the bell where the mouthpiece is connected and transmits
the sound to the instrument, And, finally the saxophones main body
where that sound that is created is transferred to a series of
tubes and fingerings. Pitch is effected by an octave key located at
the back of the instrument. This allows the pitch to be one step
higher than a note not played with it. Slide 10 The cello is a
string instrument and is made of wood. It has four strings, and
each string makes a note. The A string, D string, G string, and The
C string. The A string has the highest pitch and the C string has
the lowest pitch. You can change the pitch of each string rather
higher or lower by tuning the strings with the tuning knob which is
located above each string. Slide 11 There are many differences
between the timpani and trumpet. The trumpet is a brass instrument
the timpani is a percussion instrument. The pitch of a trumpet is
depending on your lips. The pitch of the timpani is depending on
the tuning valve. The trumpet is also a higher pitch instrument and
the timpani is a lower pitch instrument. Slide 12 How a guitar
tuner works? What it does is indicates the pitch or your
instruments in three different ways. Flat meaning a little under
the correct pitch or note sharp which is a little above the note or
pitch and perfect which means you are on the the correct pitch or
note. Slide 13 What does flat mean?? What does sharp mean? What
does a guitar tuner indicate?
