No matter how many times a note is played repeatedly, it may not just make music. It is the movement of pitches from one note to another that makes music.<\/p>\n<p>A musician is someone who is experienced, skilled, or trained in the art of creating and controlling these motions. Let&#8217;s use chord progressions as an example, which entails the movement of chords from one degree of a scale to another.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the movement from the second degree of the scale using chord two (Dmin9 chord):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=D,,F,A,C,E&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to the fifth degree of the scale using the Gdom9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,F,A,B,D&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and then to the first degree of the scale using the Cmaj9 chord:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,,E,G,B,D&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;creates a 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t play the 2-5-1 chord progression by repeating one chord over and over right? To a large extent, the everyday average music is basically made up of the movement of chords, intervals, and scale tones.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;What Is A Static Section?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Despite the several layers of motion in music, it&#8217;s still possible to create the impression that you are moving when you are really not. In a static section, there are chord movements that create that impression that the music is still in motion, but in the real sense, it&#8217;s static.<\/p>\n<p>In the next segment, I&#8217;ll be showing you how to create a static section using only four chords.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Create A Static Section Using Only Four Chords<\/h2>\n<p>The static section we&#8217;re covering in this lesson uses only four chords. To help you understand it better, I would say that it&#8217;s the movement from one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/major-triad-chord-cheat-sheet\">major triad<\/a> to three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/diminished-triad\">diminished triads<\/a> or vice versa (three diminished triads to one major triad.)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Let me repeat; one major triad to three diminished triads.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When I emphasized the need to be acquainted with various classes of triads at the beginning of this lesson, I meant it.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s an example of a static section&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re in the key of C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and we&#8217;re using the C major triad (chord one):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;as the first chord.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve come across the major triad and at this point you should be expecting three diminished triads.<\/p>\n<p>The first diminished triad falls on the second degree of the C major scale, which is D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s the D diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second diminished triad lies a half step above the D diminished triad (which is the first diminished triad):<br \/>\nSo we&#8217;re basically using the D# diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,Fs,A,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;because D#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;lies a half step above D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The third diminished triad falls on the third degree in the key of C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsequently, we&#8217;re using the E diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,Bb,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nAltogether, here are the four chords&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(which is the only major triad), and three diminished triads&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The D diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,Ab,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the D# diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,Fs,A,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the E diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,Bb,&amp;color=FF66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Give Me Your Undivided Attention&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let me stress that these four chords can be used to create a static section by&#8230;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Playing a major triad on the first degree (aka &#8211;
