Every vowel has 5 tones in mandarin, level tone ( ˉ ), the rising tone ( ˊ ), the falling-rising tone ( ˇ ), the falling tone ( ˋ ) , and the light tone( ), for instance: ā á ǎ à a ō ó ǒ ò o ē é ě è e, it's 声调 高音? It's hard to say, we don't learn 高音 or 低音 at school, it's depends on what you mean, I think English also has 高音 when you shout out angrily....

音高:it's the pitch, the change of your sound, can decide whether your sound is high or low, every languages and every sound has it. 声调: it's the change of pitch, we use it to get different sound so that can indicate different meaning, normally, only Sino-Tibetan languages have it. these two have some relationship we have 4 tones in Mandarin, let's make example with them 1st tone, like ā, the sound is high and stable when you read it, the pitch is almost 5-5 (ā 声调:1声;音高:5-5) 2nd tone, like á,your sound get raising while reading, the pitch is near 3-5 (á 声调:2声;音高:3-5) 3rd tone,like ǎ, your sound get down and get up again, the pitch is about 2-1-4(ǎ 声调:3声;音高:2-1-4) 4th tone,like à, your sound get down quickly, the pitch is about 5-1(à 声调:4声;音高5-1) all the pitchs are relative pitchs, we just take it to show the difference of sound, we make all the sound from 1 to 5

高音is a high pitch 声调is a tone A tone can include only one pitch or change from one pitch to another. Ex. The first tone of Chinese pronounciation is steady with a high pitch, whereas the second tone starts from a middle pitch and rises up to a higher pitch.

Not the same.声调 often used in pinyin,高音 is a method of singing.
