Pitch

The pitch of a note is how "high" or "low" it sounds - if a mouse squeak is high - and a cow's moo is low :)
On the piano, low notes are to the left, higher to the right.
On sheet music, the pitch is alphabetical from A to G as you climb the lines and spaces - see note reading.
Sometimes extra symbols are added to change the pitch of notes:
(#) - sharp - raise note a semitone (b) - flat - lower note a semitone
