Hitting the right note means matching a pitch you hear.

  1. How can you tell if a note is higher or lower than another?
  2. What helps you match a note with your voice or an instrument?
  3. What tune could you try to play just by ear?

Quick work-a-long

Vocabulary: pitch, note, high, low, melody.
