![]() ![]() It would sound stupid, wouldn’t it, but of course, it goes like this.Ī big difference between major and minor, but that difference is only the minor third, the lower third. The only difference between major and minor triads is that lower third, but that changes the flavor, doesn’t it. This is the third because it’s the third note of the scale, right? Okay, so I just lower the third a half step. In other words, you just find a major chord and you lower the third a half step. Yesterday we covered major chords, which is made out of the root third and fifth of a major scale.Ī minor triad is a root flat third and fifth of a major scale. Now, we can play (music) multi-note chords too, can’t we, but a triad is a basic building block of those complex chords. A triad, of course, is a word like tricycle or trio that means three, right? A triad is a three-note chord. Yesterday we covered major triads, and we discovered that a major triad is made out of a root third and fifth. Duane again, sounds like a word all it’s own, doesn’t it? This is Duane, and I’d like today to cover minor triads. When these notes are played one at a time, they are called a B flat minor arpeggio.Minor Triads – Root, Lowered 3rd, 5th Good morning. ![]() Therefore, the notes of a B flat minor triad are B flat, D flat, and F. The triad consist of scale degrees 1, 3, and 5 played at the same time. A whole step above D flat is E flat, so we must write a flat in front of the E. A half step above C is D flat, so we need to add that accidental. A whole step above B flat is C, so no accidental is needed. If you need help remembering half steps and whole steps, visit that page in the section on melody. 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 H W W).ģ. We will continue with the key of B flat, and create a B flat minor triad.Ģ. Just like the major triad, only the numbers 1 through 5 are needed. Write out the scale degrees under the staff. Follow these steps to determine the pitches of a minor triad:ġ. ![]() We create a minor triad from scale degrees 1, 3, and 5 of the natural minor scale. Just as minor scales have a different pattern of whole steps and half steps from major scales, minor chords have a different pattern than major chords. ![]()
