Interval cycle

Okay kiddo, so an interval cycle is like playing a game of musical notes!

Think of a piano, each time you press a key, it makes a sound. In an interval cycle, you play a bunch of different keys on the piano at the same time and it makes a kind of cool and interesting sound.

Now, let's pretend we have a rule for playing this game. When we press the first key, we count how many keys we skip, and then we press the next key after that many keys. For example, if we press the C key, and then we skip two keys, we press the E key because the E key is two keys away from the C key.

Everyone playing the interval cycle game has to follow this rule and it makes the music sound even cooler.

So, an interval cycle is just a fancy name for a game where you play a bunch of notes on an instrument by following a certain rule. It's like making a musical pattern with different notes. Fun, right?
