Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound or note. It is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches and lower frequencies corresponding to lower pitches. So, pitch is not related to the volume of the sound (which refers to its loudness or softness), the shortness of a note (which may refer to its duration), or the note that gets the beat (which is related to rhythm). Instead, pitch specifically refers to the perceived frequency or tone of a sound.
