ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Midian

Okay kiddo, imagine a big group of people playing a game. They are all making noise and talking, and it's hard to understand what anyone is saying. But then, someone suggests that they all stand in order from quietest to loudest.

Once they have done this, the person in the middle - not the quietest and not the loudest - is the Midian. Now everyone can more easily understand what that person is saying.

In music, the Midian is similar. It's a term that refers to the middle pitch or frequency in a group of sounds or notes. By identifying the Midian, musicians can make sure their instruments are all properly tuned and harmonizing together.

So just like in the game, finding the Midian can help everyone work together and create something beautiful!
