A sound is drawn as a ball on a ladder: it sounds higher as it climbs and lower as it climbs down, and it grows bigger as the same note gets louder. Then a high soft sound and a low loud sound show that these are two separate ways a sound can change.

What the lesson says

Here is one sound. Let's listen.

How can a sound change? Here are two ways.

First, a sound can be high or low.

Climb up the ladder. Each step sounds higher.

Now climb down. Each step sounds lower.

Next, a sound can be loud or soft.

We draw a soft sound as a small ball.

We draw a loud sound as a big ball.

Now it gets louder and louder. Watch it grow.

Louder is not higher. It stays on one step.

This sound is high and soft. Listen.

This sound is low and loud. Listen.

So sounds can be high or low, loud or soft.
