Pitch – particular frequency 432Hz/440Hz Subjective:
Tone – Acoustic – regularity of vibration
Standard 12-tone scale
Frequency – of musical notes (rate of oscillatory & vibratory phenomena) Objective: frequency is a number of occurrences, of a repeated event, per unit of time
Hertz is a International Standard (SI) unit for frequency
Verdi's A
Others believe that the correct middle “A” is 432 Hz (also known as Verdi’s A) because it has “a pure tone of math fundamental to nature” and is “mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe, vibrating with Phi, the Golden Ratio.
Furthermore, 432 Hz resonates with 8 Hz (the Schumann Resonance), the documented fundamental electromagnetic “beat” of Earth.

This branch of the nervous system is not under conscious control and is largely responsible for the regulation of several body compartments at rest.

I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. Fore each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was on one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and i Questioned the Lord abut my dilemma.
“lord, You told me when i decided to follow You. You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I’m aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don’t understand why, when I need You most, You leave me.”
He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.”
Dyslexia is not a complexity. It is a compound of simple factors which can be dealt with step-by-step. At dyslexia's root is a natural ability, a talent. The gift of dyslexia is the gift of mastery.
