Music is an Art form in which the medium is Sound organized in Time. In Music, the term note has two primary meanings 1 a sign used in Musical notation to represent the relative duration and pitch of a Sound; In standard Western Musical notation, the staff ( AmE) or stave The Grand Staff using both bass clef on the bottom and treble clef on top allows for four octaves of notation counting the two high leger lines for Soprano C and two leger lines Scientific pitch notation is one of several methods that name the Notes of the standard Western Chromatic scale by combining a letter-name accidentals It also tends to be near the middle of a keyboard, and it is near the top of the Bass vocal range and the bottom of the Soprano vocal range. Human voices may be classified according to their vocal range &mdash the highest and lowest pitches that they can produce This article is related to a series of articles under the main article Voice type.

Although C4 is commonly known by the expression "middle C", the expression is somewhat piano-specific: players of some instruments may refer to the note by another name, and may use "middle C" to refer to a different note. For example, that note (C4) might be called "low C" by a player of the Western concert flute (as it is in the lowest register of that instrument — see playing range), while C5 would be middle C. The Western concert flute or C flute (most flutes are tuned to the key of C) is a popular transverse side-blown Musical instrument made of metal In Music, the range of a Musical instrument is the distance from the lowest to the highest pitch it can play This practice, however, is not technically accurate and there has been an attempt by many instrumental pedagogues to avoid referring to Middle C as anything but C4 within instructional material across all instruments. [2] Nevertheless, the expression "middle C" is generally clear across instruments and clefs.
Within vocal music the term Soprano C, sometimes called High C, is the C two octaves above Middle C. In Music, an octave ( is the the use of which is "common in most musical systems C or Do is the first Note of the fixed-Do Solfege. In Western Music, the expression " Middle C " refers to the note It is named because it is considered the defining note of the soprano voice type.

Scientific pitch notation is one of several methods that name the Notes of the standard Western Chromatic scale by combining a letter-name accidentals In European notation, it is c3. The term Tenor C is sometimes used in vocal music to refer to C5 as it is the highest required note in the standard Tenor repetoire. The term tenor C can also refer to an organ (musical instrument) builder's term for small C or C3, the note one octave below Middle C.

When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the middle C note is approximately 261. Equal temperament is a Musical temperament, or a system of tuning in which every pair of adjacent notes has an identical Frequency ratio. The hertz (symbol Hz) is a measure of Frequency, informally defined as the number of events occurring per Second. Frequency is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit Time. 626 Hz. See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency. Pitch represents the perceived Fundamental frequency of a sound
