How high or low the note is played called?
Pitch is a perceptual property of sounds that allows their ordering on a frequency-related scale, or more commonly, pitch is the quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as “higher” and “lower” in the sense associated with musical melodies.
What is it called when notes go down?
An arpeggio (Italian: [arˈpeddʒo]) is a type of broken chord, in which the notes that compose a chord are played or sung in a rising or descending order. An arpeggio may also span more than one octave. The word arpeggio comes from the Italian word arpeggiare, which means to play on a harp.
What is over or under a note that means to sing the note louder?
The notes with accents should be played or sung louder than the others. If the stem is down, the accent or tenuto mark is above the notehead. If the stem is up, the accent or tenuto mark is below the notehead.

What is high note and low note?
If it wasn’t painfully obvious, “high” is referring to the note which has a greater frequency. “Low” refers to one with a lower frequency.
Why do we call notes high and low?
When low-frequency notes are sounded (say, from a double bass), the notes will resonate in the larger cavities in your body (such as your chest). So the higher and lower pitches are felt not just in the ears, but in the higher and lower parts of your body. This perception may have given rise to the terms.
What are the lines called that extend above and below the staff?
A ledger line or ledger line is used in Western musical notation to notate pitches above or below the lines and spaces of the regular musical staff. A line slightly longer than the note head is drawn parallel to the staff, above or below, spaced at the same distance as the lines within the staff.
What is the word used for high and low notes written on the staff?
A clef indicates which pitches are assigned to the lines and spaces on a staff. Extra lines called ledger lines extend a staff higher or lower.
