  1. 1

    Imagine a 🎹 piano. The distance between one note and the next note is called a step. A bigger distance is called a jump!

    What do we call the distance between two notes? 🎶

  3. 3

    Tap the keys to play a scale — start at C and go up 8 white notes to the next C. You just played an octave! 🎵

  4. 4

    Let's find an octave on the piano together. 🎹

  5. 5

    Now you try — tap the keys to go from D up to the next D, one step at a time. That's an octave! 🎶

  6. 6

    How many notes apart are the two Cs in an octave? 🎼
