PITCH
Pitch is a musical quality that defines how “high” or “low” a note sounds. In other words, pitch is our perception of the frequency of sound waves. A higher frequency produces a higher pitch, and a lower frequency produces a lower pitch.
PERFORMANCE
In music, the letter P stands for performance. A performance is a musical piece or moving coordination of sounds and silences that is meant to be heard by an audience. It is the actualization of a musical work, through the use of one or more instruments, voices, or other sonic resources.
PRACTICE
If you’re a musician, you’ve probably seen the “P” symbol on sheet music before. But what does it mean?
The “P” stands for “piano,” which is an instruction to play the notes quietly. This is indicated by the small, italicized “p” that appears next to the note.
This symbol is usually used in piano music, as it helps to create a more delicate and intimate sound. But it can also be used in other genres of music, such as orchestral pieces or solo instrumental pieces.
So next time you see a “P” on sheet music, remember that it means you should play quietly!
