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=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the tonic triad is the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe tonic triad is the most stable chord in a key because it consists of the first, third, and fifth tones (aka &#8211; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/active-tones-vs-stable-tones-major-scale\">stable tones<\/a>&#8220;) in the key. Most songs start and end on the tonic triad because of its stability.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, when a singer asks you (the pianist) to play a given key, he\/she expects you to play the tonic triad of that key.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s important to note that the tonic triad is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/an-exposition-on-the-primary-chords-in-the-key\">primary chords<\/a> in a major key.<\/p>\n<h3>The Supertonic Triad<\/h3>\n<p>The supertonic triad is the chord of the second degree of the scale. We&#8217;re still 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=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the supertonic triad is the D minor triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,F,A,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe supertonic triad is also known as the <em>predominant triad<\/em> and this is because it is usually played before the dominant triad (aka &#8211; &#8220;chord 5&#8221;) which is the second to the most important triad in the major key.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, songs end by a chord movement from chord 5 to chord 1 (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 5-1 chord progression.)<\/p>\n<p>When the supertonic triad (aka &#8211; &#8220;chord 2&#8221;) is played before chord 5 in the 5-1 chord progression, this produces the 2-5-1 chord progression &#8212; which is one of the most important chord progression in jazz and gospel music styles.<\/p>\n<p>The supertonic triad is unique because of its harmonic role in the formation of the 2-5-1 chord progression.<\/p>\n<h3>The Mediant Triad<\/h3>\n<p>The mediant triad is formed on the third degree in the major key, which lies between the first and fifth degrees of the scale. 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=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the mediant (which is E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;lies between the first tone (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and the fifth tone (which is G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe mediant triad has two notes in common with the tonic and dominant triads. 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=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the E minor triad (which is the mediant triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,B,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of E and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,G,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which are the third and fifth tones of the C major triad (the tonic triad):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,&amp;color=CCFF99&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nConsequently, the mediant triad can be used to substitute the tonic and dominant triads.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re exploring the individual properties of scale degree triads in this
