In a concert band, if the director asks the same thing, the flutes and trombones do play their C scale, but the clarinets and trumpets play their D scale, the alto saxophones play their A scale, the French horns play their G scale… Not so simple. In an orchestra, if the director asks the string instruments to play a C major scale, everyone (violins, violas, cellos, basses) plays a C major scale. At the same time, eighth graders all around the world have to deal with concert pitch on a regular basis.Ĭoncert pitch refers to the universal standard pitch, A=440hz. Many professional musicians will spend their entire careers never having to deal with concert pitch.
