Relative pitch

Hello there! Are you ready to learn about relative pitch? It's like having magical ears that can tell if two sounds go together or not.

Think of it like this: you have two different toys. One is a ball and one is a block. When you put the ball in a shiny metal bowl, it makes a certain sound. When you put the block in the same shiny metal bowl, it makes a different sound.

Now, let's say you have another shiny metal bowl that is the same size as the first one. If you put the ball into the second bowl, it will make the same sound as it did in the first bowl. If you put the block in the second bowl, it will also make the same sound as it did in the first bowl.

This is kind of like what happens with relative pitch. Your magical ears can tell if two sounds are the same or different, just like you can tell if the ball and block make different sounds.

But with relative pitch, your ears can also tell if two sounds go together in a certain way. For example, if you hear someone singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", your ears can tell if the next note they sing is going to sound good or not.

It's like putting the ball and block in the two different shiny metal bowls. You remember what each sound sounded like, and you can tell if the next sound is going to sound similar or different.

So there you have it! Relative pitch is like having magical ears that can tell if sounds go together or not, just like you can tell if the ball and block make different sounds. Pretty cool, huh?
