Essential Questions:
- How is sound produced?
- Why do our ears perceive and process sound?
- What makes one instrument sound different from another?
- Sound is a combination of pitch and frequency and can be measured in waves.
- The creation of sound waves impact the timbre of all instruments and voices.
