ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Repetition (music)

Repetition in music is when parts of a song or tune are repeated. Just like when you play a game or do a puzzle, repeating something can help you remember it better. In music, repeating a part of a song can help you remember the melody, which is like the tune or the main musical idea. It can also help create a pattern, like when you make a pattern with your toys or your beads. Repetition can happen with the melody, rhythm, or even the lyrics of a song. Think of it like a fun game, where you keep doing something over and over again, but it always sounds amazing!
