This lesson is part of the Fundamentals of Sound & Music module.

Objectives[edit]

  • Student will understand the basic nature of sound as vibration and how it propagates through a medium.
  • Student will understand the concepts of frequency/amplitude and how they relate to pitch, loudness, and the media through which sounds travel.
