Here are the technical names of the eight degree in the major key&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>First &#8211; Tonic<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second &#8211; Supertonic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Third &#8211; Mediant<\/p>\n<p>Fourth &#8211; Sub-dominant<\/p>\n<p>Fifth &#8211; Dominant<\/p>\n<p>Sixth &#8211; Sub-mediant<\/p>\n<p>Seventh &#8211; Sub-tonic<\/p>\n<p>Eight &#8211; Octave<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the list of technical names we just made, it is clear that <strong>supertonic<\/strong> is the technical name of the second tone (aka &#8211; &#8220;second degree&#8221;) of the scale. The term supertonic in this lesson is used to describe chords that are formed on the second degree of the scale.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;Chord&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>According to Jermaine Griggs, <em>&#8220;a chord is a collection of three or more related notes (whether agreeable or not) that maybe played or heard together or separately.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are so many ways that chords can be classified&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>According to width [triads, sixths, sevenths, ninths, elevenths and thirteenths]<\/li>\n<li>According to quality [major, minor, diminished, augmented, dominant]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ll not go deep into the definition of the term chord, so we don&#8217;t drift from the subject matter. Let&#8217;s go ahead and put the three terms we&#8217;ve defined together.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;What Does The Phrase <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Chromatic Supertonic Chord<\/span> Mean?&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From what we&#8217;ve discussed in this segment, the term <em>chromatic<\/em> means &#8220;<em>foreign&#8221;,<\/em> <em>supertonic <\/em>means &#8220;<em>of the<\/em> <em>second degree&#8221;<\/em> while <em>chord<\/em> means &#8220;<em>a collection of related notes.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Altogether, the chromatic supertonic chord is simply a collection of related notes, built on the second degree of the scale that is foreign to the key. As we go further in this study, you&#8217;ll not only understand, but also appreciate this definition of the chromatic supertonic chord.<\/p>\n<h2>The Pre-dominant Chord<\/h2>\n<p>The term <em>pre-dominant<\/em> is a technical name that music scholars associate with a note that is a perfect fifth above the dominant.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,,&amp;color=99CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;(where the dominant is G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=G,,,&amp;color=99CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the pre-dominant is a perfect fifth above G (and that&#8217;s D):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=99CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe pre-dominant in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=99CC99&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=99CC99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is basically known as the supertonic.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;So, What&#8217;s A Pre-dominant Chord?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The pre-dominant chord is the chord of the second degree of the scale.
