Wobbles & Friends
What is harmony and how do different notes sound good together?
Press one piano key and you get a note — clean, lonely, complete. But press two or three at once and something strange happens. They can melt together into one glowing sound, or they can clash like a slammed door. That sweet melting-together is called harmony. So why do some notes love each other and others fight?
Here's the secret hiding inside every note: it's not still. A note is a tiny, invisible shiver in the air, wobbling back and forth incredibly fast. A low note wobbles slowly. A high note wobbles quickly. We can't see the wobbles, but our ears feel every one.
