Quarter tone

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a quarter tone is! You know how we have a piano that has white and black keys? Each key makes a different sound, right? But what if we wanted to make a sound that's not in between those keys? That's where quarter tones come in.

A quarter tone is like a tiny little step between two regular piano keys. It's like saying, "Hey, I know there's a lot of space between those keys, but let's make a sound that's right in the middle of that space!" It's like coloring in between the lines, but with sound.

Now, you might be wondering why we would do this. Well, some people think that music can sound even better with these in-between sounds. It gives us even more options to play with and makes our music even more interesting.

So, there you have it! A quarter tone is like a teeny tiny sound we can make in between two regular piano keys. Isn't that cool?
