When something keeps moving and never stops without any help, then it's in perpetual motion.
“Help” from a physics standpoint means energy - and all things need energy to move.
All this week, we're exploring the idea of perpetual motion in music!
We'll keep going, and going, and going with music for piano, harp, banjo and ... penguins?
