note
A note has two qualities - pitch and duration. Sometimes when musicians say "note" they are talking only of a note's pitch, sometimes they mean how long the note lasts, and sometimes they are talking about both. You can usually tell which of these they mean by the context.
- pitch
- We are talking about pitch when we say a note is high or low. Or when we talk about an F#.
- duration
- The duration of a note is how long it lasts.
