What is pitch?
It's the frequency right? because I thought it was more of a tone
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. ~Wikipedia
Lol too much vocab XD so what is it?

xD OK- So, it has to do with vocals, from higher notes to lower notes.
& the higher it goes the louder-

Why is musical notation important? What benefits do musicians and others receive from being able to write down and note aspects of a musical piece?
Musicians benefit from being able to write and read musical notes because it will give them the ability to recreate a song or tune exactly the way it was first heard. Without it, the memory could change certain important aspects of the piece.

What is disco? What are the characteristics of this music?
Disco is a music genre that was created in the 70s. Disco Music are usually played between Tempo 100-130 bpm. Such tempo is neither too fast or too slow, and therefore it encourages dancing for the general audience. The pulse of the rhythm was oftern emphasized, Vocals were often "soaring" with the drumbeat behind. .
Hey the British invasion was when groups such as "The Beetles" came right?
Yup.
do you think music has become too commercial? Why or Why not?
Like are the artists doing it for love for music or for money
I feel some music has become to commercial. Many musicians who have radio airplay only create music for the money they receive for songs they perform. Many songs ( Rap for this example ) talk of the troubles they had growing up in the ghetto ( Hood, projects, etc.) how hard it was to survive, but yet do nothing to help those who are stuck there now. The musicians are creating these types of songs because they know they can make money from those who are in that situation. Many artist ( I.E Drake ) create a fake background, saying they came from that situation when they come from a rich family and have never seen the struggle they say they have faced.
