Lesson 7:Triads (PART 1)

October 28 2022

• A triad can be defined as a chord that consists of a root, third and fifth (or the first third and fifth degree of a scale)
• There are 4 types of Triads they are : 

1. Major Triad
2. Minor Triad
3. Augmented Triad
4. Diminished Triad

• An inversion of a triad means that the notes in the triad are rearranged
•       if the third is in the bass the triad is first inversion
•       if the fifth is in the bass the triad is second inversion
• In a minor scale the 2nd degree is diminished but in a major scale the 7th is dimished

This video was helpful as it gave full definitions of what a triad was as well as visual notes  and examples for me to see and understand better

Lesson 6 Week 9:Intervals

• An interval can be defined as the distance between two notes
• There are 2 types of intervals they are 

1. Harmonic Interval
2. Melodic Interval

• Qualities of intervals include: Major, Minor, Perfect, Augmented, and Diminished
• C to D is a major interval, C to G Flat is a diminshed 5th and so on.
• Interval numbers should add up to 9
• The term inversion refers to the flipping or turning an interval upside down to form another interval

The video above was helpful to me because it was easy to understand by giving a clear definition of what an interval. The video talked about counting the lines and spaces to determine intervals

and which scales are behind it.

This video is particularly helpful as it gives examples of and differentiates between the harmonic interval as well as the melodic interval. The video also primarily focuses on interval qualities, measuring intervals as well as Inversion of intervals and how to do them.
