This lesson is part of the Fundamentals of Sound & Music module.

Objectives

  • Student will be able to define the difference between a sinusoidal and complex wave.
  • Student will be able to derive a harmonic series given a fundamental pitch.
  • Student will be able to identify whether a sound is harmonic or not on a spectrogram, frequency graph, and oscilloscope.
  • Students will understand how frequency relates to the aural concept of pitch.
  • Students will understand how frequencies of multiple waveforms interact.
  • Students will understand the difference between absolute and relative pitch.
