Are music notes different for different instruments?
The reason the same musical note sounds different when played on various instruments is because the harmonic overtones and envelope of each instrument is unique. When a frequency is played, other frequencies, called harmonics, are created. Each instrument has a unique harmonic character.
What are the 7 notes?
In the chromatic scale there are 12 tones including 7 natural musical notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) and 5 sharp/flat notes ( A#/Bb, C#/Db, D#/Eb, F#/Gb, and G#/Ab). They each represent a different frequency or pitch.
What are instrument notes?
These vibrations can be produced by any type of instrument—vocals, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and even non-traditional instruments like car horns and cooking pots. But to organize and sequence those audio vibrations, we arrange them and give them names. They are called music notes.
