Homonym: interval (Break)
An "interval" refers to a specific period of time or a distance between two points. In everyday life, we often use intervals to measure time, like the break between classes or the duration of a movie. For example, if a concert lasts for two hours, the interval might be the 15-minute break in the middle when the audience can stretch and grab snacks.
In music, an interval describes the distance between two notes. For instance, the interval between the notes C and E is called a "major third." Understanding intervals helps musicians create melodies and harmonies, making music more enjoyable to listen to.
