Document Summary
Our society has an interesting distinction between people who think they are musical, people who perform, and people who consume music. Despite this, we actually all have a high degree of musicality as listeners since we are able to associate music with different things. All music is equal and no one genre is better than the other. Music is a product of human behaviour. Sound: frequency in acoustics, the number of complete vibrations or cycles per second in a vibrating system, such as a string or a column of air; frequency is the primary determinant of the listener"s perception of pitch. Pitch the relative position (high or low) of a musical sound, depending on its fundamental frequency (the number of cycles per second of the sounding object); the faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch. Like a performance aspect how the musician approaches the frequency you have a very nice tone . You hear many overtones: real life example.
