In music, an octave is the interval between one musical note and another with half or double its frequency.

In other words, an octave is a type of note. When you play or sing a note then then play or sing the same note but just higher or lower, that is an octave

8 notes above or below any given note. For example- play a C on the piano, 8 notes above that would be another C.

An octave is the space between two notes that have the same name, but are eight steps apart diatonically (or 13 steps apart chromatically.

In the key of C, an octave would be

C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C (Diatonically)

C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G G#, A, A#, B, C (Chromatically)

Hope this helps.

12 notes from a certain note to the same note like c to c there r 12 counting sharps and flats

In music, an octive is an interval of 8 notes, or a scale.

In a major scale (do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do) the root or beginning note is the same as the 8th note of that scale, only an octave (think Oct - 8 as in octagon) higher or lower. in a chromatic scale, an octave is exactly 12 notes higher or lower than the original note. Good luck & enjoy!
