The notes in an octave are do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si and back to do. Some are also used to the letters: do corresponds to a C, and you have all the letters from A up to G.
Piano octaves can be any name on the piano of one note, C octave, G# octave, Bb octave. An octave stands for octo which means 8 in Latin. If you notice any distance between two of the same notes they will always be eight (in terms of counting intervals, which means you count the first and last notes and well as all in between). Therefore if you pick any note on the piano, eight notes up or down from there will be an octave.
Music notes go from A to G, but you can alter those notes by playing them a different octave or by playing them a half step higher or lower.
A typical alto saxophone can reach a B-flat one octave lower than its natural octave and a high F-natural (sometimes F-sharp) one octave higher than its natural octave. So some notes that can be played are A-flat, B-natural, and G-sharp, which are all in the alto saxophone's natural octave.
that all the notes should be treated as an octave lower :)
All notes have specific frequencies that they are associated with. For example, "C" has a frequency of 261.6 Hz and "D" has a frequency of 293.7 Hz. Each note has multiple frequencies, which is dependent on the octave. When Engineering chimes for different types of notes with specific frequencies, it is seen that the frequencies depend on the length of tube, the type of material, etc. All notes have specific frequencies that they are associated with.

The Chromatic Scale is all twelve semitones common to Western music. The Pentatonic scale is a group of five specific notes (per octave) that can be played within a particular key. For example, the "A Minor Pentatonic".
You can either A) Move all of the notes above a Bb down one octave, keeping the rest of the song the same or B) Move the entire song down an octave if there are no notes that are too low to prevent this.
Well, first of all, an octave is usually referred to as two notes, being 8 notes apart (although if you include sharps and flats they are 12 notes apart). If an instrument is said to have a "2 octave range", that simply means one can play up to 24 different sounding notes on the instrument. My poor illustrations... imagine a piano.... This would be one octave. ---------------------------------- Bb C# Eb F# G# A B C D E F G A ---------------------------------- An instrument with a 2 octave range would be able to play... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bb C# Eb F# G# Bb C# Eb F# G# A B C D E F G A B C D E F G A --------------------------------------------------------------------
No. The names Octave, Octavio, Octavia are all related to the prefix Oct meaning eight. October used to be the eighth month of the year. An octave spans eight notes in musical notation. An octogone has eight sides.
There are eight notes in an octave - a single octave in the key of C major consists of the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C. The note C repeats once every eight notes, meaning that there can be either seven or eight C's on a piano - depending on whether it is an 88-key piano or a 91-key piano.
One difference between a whole tone scale and a pentatonic scale is that a whole tone scale has 6 notes per octave while a pentatonic scale has 5 notes per octave. Another major difference is that a whole tone scale has all adjacent notes a whole step apart, while a pentatonic scale does not consist entirely of whole steps, and since a pentatonic scale is only defined as a scale with 5 notes per octave, there are many pentatonic scales that are possible.
The chromatic harmonica has 12 notes in each octave, including all the natural notes and sharps/flats. To play a note, the player blows or draws air through the holes while pressing the button on the side to activate the sharps/flats.
