A diminished chord (noted as 1 - ♭3 - ♭5) has a minor Interval (of 3 frets) placed on top on another minor Interval (of 3 frets). A minor chord (noted as 1 - ♭3 - 5) has a Major Interval (of 4 frets) placed on top of a minor Interval (of 3 frets). A Major chord (noted as 1 - 3 - 5) has a minor Interval (of 3 frets) placed on top of a Major Interval (of 4 frets). Three note chords made from the root, third and fifth are described by their quality Major, minor, diminished, and augmented.
Two or more Intervals played together make a chord. Any two notes played together make an Interval. The chords in a Major Key are chords which are comprised of notes in the key. There are seven octaves of D♭ Major on a 88 Key piano. From the root note they are spaced a whole step (2 frets) to the 2nd note, a whole step to the third note, a half step (1 fret) to the fourth note, a whole step to the fifth note, a whole step to the sixth note, a whole step to the seventh note, and a half step into the octave. When these notes are played one at a time, they are called a B flat major arpeggio.The Key of D♭ Major (D-flat) is comprised of seven of twelve possible notes in an octave. Therefore, the notes of a B flat major triad are B flat, D, and F. The triad consist of scale degrees 1, 3, and 5 played at the same time. A half step above D is E flat, so you need to write a flat in front of the E. A whole step above C is D, so no accidental is needed. A whole step above B flat is C, so no accidental is needed.
If you need help remembering half steps and whole steps, reread that section of the website. Check every whole step and half step in the scale and write in the accidentals, when appropriate. Do not skip any pitches or repeat any pitches.Ĥ. Write in the first five pitches of that diatonic scale. Write the pattern of whole steps and half steps as they occur between each scale degree (W W H W).ģ. B flat major will serve as our example.Ģ. Since a triad consists of scale degrees 1, 3, and 5, it is only necessary to write the numbers 1 through 5.
Write out the scale degrees under the staff. Each of these triads consists of scale degrees 1, 3, and 5 of a diatonic scale.įollow these steps to determine the pitches of a major triad.ġ. To determine the pitches of a triad, you can use a system similar to the stepwise approach given for figuring out the pitches of major and minor scales.
