Octave or fifth
One more look at what you missed.
An octave is the same note, higher.
C up to the next C is an octave: twelve half steps. The two notes blend so well they almost sound like one.
C and the C above it.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
A perfect fifth is seven half steps.
C up to G is a fifth. It sounds open and strong, but clearly two different notes.
A fifth, an octave, and a tune with a fifth.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star leaps a fifth between its first two words.
Same note again, higher: octave. A new note, open and strong: perfect 5th.
The octave lands on the same note name.
If the top note feels like the bottom one, only higher, it is the octave.
Play C, then the C above it. Then C and G.
Hear the octave blend into one, and the fifth stay two.
