Pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of a<br />
tone; the quality of a sound governed by the rate<br />
of vibrations producing it.<br />
All sounds require vibration—quick back-and-forth<br />
motion of an object. <strong>To</strong> illustrate this, pluck a<br />
stretched rubber band. <strong>The</strong> sound you hear comes<br />
from the vibration of the rubber band.<br />
A sound’s pitch is directly related to its rate of<br />
vibration: the higher the pitch, the fast the<br />
vibration; the lower the pitch, the slower the<br />
vibration.<br />
