What is pitch?

Have you ever heard a singer sing really low or really high? That's pitch! Pitch is how high or low a sound is. Just like how a ball can be thrown high or low, a sound can also be high or low.

Let's use a piano as an example. The sound of a key that is pressed on the right side of the piano will be higher than a key that is pressed on the left side of the piano. This is because the strings inside the piano are shorter on the right side, making the sound higher.

Pitch is also used to talk about sports. Have you ever played baseball? The pitcher throws the ball with a specific pitch, which means they throw it at a certain speed and direction. This makes it harder for the batter to hit the ball.

You can also use pitch to make music. When you sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," you change your pitch. When you sing "twinkle," your voice is high and when you sing "star," your voice is low. This makes the song more interesting and fun to listen to.

To summarize, pitch is how high or low a sound is. You can find pitch in music, singing, and even sports. Just like how we use our voice to change pitch when we sing, different instruments or objects can also create different pitches. By understanding pitch, you can have more fun listening to music and playing sports!
