student needs help any takers

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

Hi Andrea:

I'm sorry I didn't see your post last night. Here is the way to calculate
Frequency from a note number.

F=25.9565563 times 2 raised to the (Notenumber divided by 12)
or 
F=25.9565563*2^(N/12)  where N = note number and F = frequency

Get a math wizard to help you work it around the other way.
