When one note is above another note by an octave, the frequency of the higher pitch note is double that of the lower pitch note. The word octave may
make you think that there are 8 steps from the lower note to the one an octave above. But wait! How many steps are there on a piano from middle C to
the next C above? Each key is a step. If each next key is a step, how many are there? Middle C is a white (W) key and the next note above is a black
(B) key. Starting at middle C on the piano the sequence of key we go through to get to high C, is BWBWWBWBWBWW, the last key being high C.
