Minor chords appear on scale degrees i, iv Major chords appear on scale degrees III, VI, VIIĪ diminished chord appears on scale degree iiĮven though this example is in C Harmonic Minor, the pattern of major, minor, diminished, and augmented chords is true for all harmonic minor scales. Minor chords appear on scale degrees i, iv, v In minor keys, we'll call a chord diatonic if its notes belong to any one of the three minor scale types (natural, harmonic, or melodic) for that key.Įven though this example is in C Natural Minor, the pattern of major, minor, and diminished chords is true for all natural minor scales. Minor chords appear on scale degrees ii, iii, and vi.Ī diminished chord appears on scale degree vii. Major chords appear on scale degrees I, IV, and V. However, the D Major chord is a diatonic chord in the keys of D Major, G Major and A Major.Įven though this example is in C Major, the pattern of major, minor, and diminished chords is true for all major scales. The D Major chord, D F# A, is not a diatonic chord in the key of C because the F# does not occur in the scale of C Major. For example, the d Minor chord is a diatonic chord in the key of C because its notes, D F A, occur in the C Major scale.
The standard chord inversion symbols indicate the inversion:Ī diatonic chord is a chord whose notes occur naturally in a given scale or key. Upper and lower case indicate chord quality:ĭiminished is lower case with an added º, e.g.: vii°Īugmented is upper case with an added +, e.g.: III+ The Roman Numeral indicates the scale degree of the chord root e.g.: I, ii, iii, IV V. The naming conventions for triads also apply to Roman Numerals. Using notes of the G major scale, build triads on every scale degree. Number the notes of the G Major scale as follows. 15-Triads and Scales MUSC 101 Music Fundamentals - Spring 2012 Unit 15 - Triads and Scales
