MUSIC EDUCATION:
KEY: C Major (no sharps, no flats)
See other tutorials to learn how to play the C Major scale!
MUSIC VOCABULARY:
Octave:
An octave (Latin: octavus: eighth) or perfect octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double its frequency. In this song, C to C is an octave.
Chords:
A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of pitches consisting of multiple notes (also called “pitches”) that are heard as if sounding simultaneously.
Root Position:
Root position means that the lowest note of your chord is the root of the chord. So in this tutorial, you are playing a C major chord, so C is the root. So the lowest note you would be playing is C.
First Inversion:
A first inversion triad has the third of the chord as the lowest note. The root is then transposed up an octave. So in C Major, a first inversion triad is made up of these pitches in this order: E-G-C
I also like to say that the the ROOT of the triad is on TOP.
Second Inversion:
The disposition of a triad or seventh chord so that its fifth is in the bass : the arrangement of notes in a triad or seventh chord so that its fifth is in the lowest position. So in this case, the C (ROOT of the triad) is a THIRD above the lowest note. Ex: G-C-E
Dominant:
This identifies the fifth tone or degree of a diatonic scale. So a triad (ROOT position) built on the DOMINANT (V) of a scale would be: G-B-D
