From the definition of a triad, a triad is a chord of three notes.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s present and explain in details some of the important keywords in the definition of a chord:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three<\/li>\n<li>Related notes<\/li>\n<li>Together<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><em>&#8220;&#8230;Three&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><em>Tri<\/em>, which is the first syllable in the word triad, is synonymous with the number three. A triad consists of three notes, not more or less.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission<\/strong>: It&#8217;s possible for a triad to have four notes. Hence, the term <a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/four-note-triads\">four note triads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;&#8230;Related Notes&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>A collection of three notes can only be considered as a triad if the notes are related in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>By a given scale<\/li>\n<li>By a <a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/lesson-three-classes-harmony-used-chord-formation\">class of harmony<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\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=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is arguably the most popular triad on the keyboard, consists of C, E,and G, which are the first, third and fifth tones 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=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s clearly a scale relationship. In addition to that, the chord tones of the C major triad are related by <a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/the-power-of-third-intervals\">third intervals<\/a>. This creates what music scholars call <a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/quick-insights-on-the-tertian-harmony\">tertian harmony<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From C to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a third interval.<\/p>\n<p>From E to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is also a third interval.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;&#8230;Together&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The word chord is derived from <em>accord &#8211; <\/em>an old English word that means together. The notes of a chord are designed to be played together (in accord).<\/p>\n<p>In a previous lesson, we learned that the relationship between notes that are heard together is called harmony. Therefore, a chord can be said to be harmonic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Having covered the keywords, let&#8217;s end this review by looking at the components of a triad and various triad qualities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Components Of A Triad<\/h3>\n<p>A triad when played in root position, consists of three components &#8211; a root, third and fifth tone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The root<\/strong> of a triad is the note upon which a triad is founded on and the name of the triad is derived from the root of the triad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The third<\/strong> of a given triad determines its quality and this depends on the distance (aka &#8211; &#8220;interval&#8221;) between the root and the third.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fifth tone<\/strong> is where a triad derives its stability. Stable triads have a fifth tone that is a perfect fifth above their root while unstable triads have a fifth tone that is either a diminished fifth or an augmented fifth above their root.<\/p>\n<h3>A Short Note On Triad Qualities<\/h3>\n<p>There are four triad qualities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/major-triad-chord-cheat-sheet\">The major triad <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/minor-triad-chord\">The minor triad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/diminished-triad\">The diminished triad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/main\/augmented-triad\">The augmented triad<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;which have been branded <em>The Fantastic Four <\/em>by <strong>Jermaine Griggs <\/strong>&#8211;<strong> <\/strong>our founder and president.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here Are The Fantastic Four Founded On The Root Note C&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,G,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC diminished triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Eb,Gb,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nC augmented triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,Gs,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The Inversion Of Triads<\/h2>\n<p>There are two perspectives to the inversion of chords &#8211;

In first inversion triads, the interval between the root and other chord tones are a sixth and third. Consequently, first inversion triads are represented (by music scholars) as <em>chord six-three<\/em> and all first inversion triads belong to this class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention:<\/strong> Beyond the representation of first inversion chords as six-three, it is important to also note that the highest sounding note in a first inversion chord is its root.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s An Example&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The chord below:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,D&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a six-three chord because from F to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,D&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a sixth:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and from F to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a third.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the fact that the chord given is a six-three chord, its highest sounding note (which is D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is its root.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, having determined the root of the chord (as D) and its inversion (as a first inversion chord), we&#8217;re just a hair&#8217;s breadth away from decoding the given chord as the first inversion of the D minor triad.<\/p>\n<p>Inverting a D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;by the octave transposition of D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,D&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the first inversion of the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,A,D&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is the given triad.<\/p>\n<h3>How To Spot First Inversion Triads Instantly<\/h3>\n<p>Anyone who knows the figuration of the first inversion chord (which is six-three) can be able to identify it at first sight.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here Are Some Drills For You&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Drill #1<\/h4>\n<p>In the chord below:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Db,F&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the interval between Ab and F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,F&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a sixth, while the interval between Ab and Db:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ab,Db&amp;color=CC66FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a fourth.
