ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CHON

Chon is a way of describing how music is made up of different parts in order to make it sound good. It is related to rhythm. Chon breaks down music into 4 parts: strong beats, weak beats, syncopation, and rests. Strong beats are the main beats in the song that will usually be the same each time they are played. Weak beats are usually quieter, and are being used to keep the beat going. Syncopation is when you put different rhythms together to create interesting sounds and moves the song in different directions. Rests are when there is a pause in the music so everything else can have time to highlight. By combining all these parts together, you can create an awesome song!
