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.
