Although there are four commonly known triads &#8212; the major, minor, augmented, and diminished &#8212; we&#8217;re focusing on the first two triads in this lesson.<\/p>\n<h3>The Major Triad &#8212; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The major triad is formed by the relationship between the first, third, and fifth tones of the major scale. Using the C major scale (as a reference):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=009999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe C major triad can be formed when the first, third, and fifth tones of the C major scale (which are C, E, and G):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=009999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;are played or heard together.<\/p>\n<p>Other major triads include the F major triad:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;A major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,Cs,E,&amp;color=009999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;D major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,Fs,A,,&amp;color=009999&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;etc.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;What Is A Minor Triad?&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The minor triad is the triad associated with the minor quality.
