I consider it appropriate for us to explore the concept of tenths and sevenths from a diatonic perspective because it&#8217;ll show us the application of tenths and sevenths in a key that we&#8217;re familiar with. In addition to that, it&#8217;ll prepare us for the use of thirds and sevenths in chord progressions.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, we&#8217;ll be doing it in the key of C major, which is everyone\u2019s favorite.<\/p>\n<h2>A Flashback On Tenths And Sevenths<\/h2>\n<p>Tenths and sevenths are basically intervals.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>An interval is the relationship between two notes [in terms of the distance between them.] &#8211; <strong>Jermaine Griggs<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a nutshell, it takes two notes to form an interval &#8211; whether a tenth or a seventh. A tenth is an interval that encompasses ten degrees of a given scale, while a seventh is an interval that encompasses seven degrees of a given scale.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0A Flashback On Tenths<\/h3>\n<p>Using the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;a tenth encompasses ten degrees of the C major scale from C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and believe it or not, the tenth is a large interval (compound interval) that some people find it challenging to play with one hand. Notwithstanding the challenges of playing the tenth, it remains a rewarding accompaniment for your left hand.<\/p>\n<p>Although the tenth (C-E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,E&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a compound interval, there&#8217;s a simple interval (C-E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;that is related to it. This simple interval encompasses only three degrees of the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consequently, is called a third.<\/p>\n<p>Tenths can be derived from thirds by expanding the third. Let me show you how to expand the third into a tenth using what I call the <em>octave transposition technique<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Transposition literally means a <em><strong>trans<\/strong>fer of <strong>pos<\/strong>ition<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Octave transposition<\/strong> is a technique you can expand a third into a tenth with, either by transposing the lowest note to a lower octave, or by transposing the higher note to a higher octave.<\/p>\n<p>C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;becomes a tenth if the lower note (C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is lowered by an octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;or the higher note (E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is raised by an octave:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,E&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The relationship between the tenth and the third makes both of them the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Considering how important thirds are in music, we can also place such importance on tenths. According to Jermaine Griggs, <em>&#8220;the third tone of triad determines its quality &#8211; whether it&#8217;s a major or a minor triad.&#8221; <\/em>Consequently, if a third determines quality, then tenths in the same vein would determine quality too.<\/p>\n<p>There are basically two tenths that are [commonly] used &#8211; the major and minor tenths. A major tenth is the skeleton of a major chord, while a minor tenth is the skeleton of a minor chord.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0A Flashback On Sevenths<\/h3>\n<p>In the key of C major, a seventh encompasses seven degrees of the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;from C to B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe seventh, unlike the tenth is <em>handy <\/em>and lies within the compass of the hand.<\/p>\n<p>Just like tenths, sevenths also determine the quality of a chord &#8211; whether major or minor. This is not applicable most of the time because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/60-common-seventh-chord-qualities-common\">60% of common chord qualities<\/a> share the minor seventh interval in common.<\/p>\n<h2>Tenths and Sevenths In The Key Of C Major<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s breakdown the concept of tenths and sevenths to something we can apply in the key of C
