ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Clinic (music)

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a toy box filled with different toys like a ball, a stuffed animal, and blocks. When you play with each toy, it makes a different sound. Well, musicians have their own toy box called instruments, like the guitar, drums, and keyboard.

A clinic is when a musician or group of musicians come to teach others how to play their instruments or how to make music. It's like when your mom or dad teaches you how to play with your toys in a different way or shows you a new game to play.

During a music clinic, the musician will show you how to play a certain song or a certain style of music. They'll teach you about the different parts of the instrument and how to make specific sounds with it. They might also talk about things like practicing, performing, and writing songs.

It's a really fun way to learn more about music and to get better at playing your instrument. Sort of like having a music teacher who is also really cool and knows how to play a lot of different tunes.
