Re: Req: pitch-to-physical space mappings, refs

I've noticed the same with guitarists. The higher pitched notes
are on strings closer to your lap, hence the low notes are higher.
Rather than use high/low, I usually say "the notes closer to your
face" or some such, when dealing with newbies. Of course with piano
it's all on one level plain -- any piano teachers out there? Does
pitch high prevail on piano?
