ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Harmony

Hi there! I can explain harmony in a way that a five-year-old can understand.

Do you remember hearing a song on the radio that made you feel good inside? Did you notice how different sounds and voices worked together to make that song sound so nice? That's harmony! Harmony is when many different sounds and notes come together to make one beautiful sound. It's like when all of your friends sing together and it sounds amazing!

When people sing or play instruments, they create different notes, which are like little sounds. These notes have different pitches or high and low sounds. When musicians play different notes at the same time, they create a chord which sounds nice. Harmony is when musicians create chords that sound really good together. It's like when you and your friends come together to play with your toys, everyone brings something unique and you all play together to make a fun game.

Harmony can create different feelings like happiness, excitement, or even sadness. It's like the different colors and shapes you use to create a beautiful drawing that makes you feel happy or sad.

So, that's harmony! It's when different notes and sounds combine to make something really amazing and make you feel good inside!
