The ninth is bigger than the octave (which is an eight) by a scale step. Therefore, one scale step above the octave is the ninth.<\/p>\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=FF6600&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the ninth interval can be determined by going a scale step above the octave of C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C&amp;color=FF6600&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nA scale-step above the octave of C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C&amp;color=FF6600&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D&amp;color=FF6600&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a ninth above C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=FF6600&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAlthough D is the second tone in the C major scale, the interval between C and D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,D&amp;color=FF6600&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is considered a ninth because it exceeds the compass of an octave.<\/p>\n<p>Ninth chords are classified as extended chords and this is because they exceed the compass of an octave and may be challenging when played with one hand.<\/p>\n<h3>The Formation Of A Ninth Chord<\/h3>\n<p>Following the traditional guidelines of chord formation, we can stack the notes of a given scale in third intervals.
