If you’re interested in learning about the pivot chord, this lesson is for you.<\/p>\n

We’ll be looking at certain chords in the key that are described as pivot chords, then we’ll discuss their relationship with other keys. before rounding up with the role of pivots chords.<\/p>\n

But before we go into all of that, permit me to refresh your mind on the concept of modulation.<\/p>\n

Short Note On Modulation<\/h2>\n

There are 12 major keys in tonal music. The key of C major:
\n
\n…is just one out of the twelve major keys:<\/p>\n

The key of C major:
\n
\nThe key of Db major:
\n
\nThe key of D major:
\n
\nThe key of Eb major:
\n
\nThe key of E major:
\n
\nThe key of F major:
\n
\nThe key of Gb major:
\n
\nThe key of Ab major:
\n
\nThe key of A major:
\n
\nThe key of Bb major:
\n
\nThe key of B major:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The change of key in tonal music is known as modulation. Let’s say the prevalent key a particular song is on is the key of C major:
\n
\nModulation is concerned with the change from the prevalent key to any other key (be it a foreign, relative, parallel, or related key).<\/p>\n

“Check These Examples Out…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Modulation to a foreign key:<\/p>\n

Modulating from C major:
\n
\n…to F# major:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Modulation to a relative key:<\/p>\n

Modulating from C major:
\n
\n…to A minor:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Modulation to a parallel key:<\/p>\n

Modulating from C major:
\n
\n…to C minor:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Modulation to a related key:<\/p>\n

Modulating from C major:
\n
\n…to G major:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s take a break from the concept of modulation and go right into our goal in this lesson — the pivot chord. In another lesson we’ll do an in-depth study on modulation.<\/p>\n

The Pivot Chord — Defined<\/em><\/h2>\n

There are basically two chord types in any key: diatonic chords and chromatic chords.<\/p>\n

Diatonic chords.<\/strong> These are chords that are formed from the scale tones in the prevalent key.<\/p>\n

Chromatic chords.<\/strong> Chords that are foreign to the prevalent key.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any chord shared by two different keys; that serves as a link in the course of a modulation is classified as a pivot chord.<\/p>\n

In the key of C major:
\n
\n…the C major triad (which is the 1-chord):
\n
\n…is a diatonic chord in two other major keys:<\/p>\n

In the key of F major:
\n
\n…where it functions as the 5-chord.<\/p>\n

AND<\/p>\n

In the key of G major:
\n
\n…where it functions as the 4-chord.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the C major triad:
\n
\n…can be considered as a pivot chord in the key of C major and G major, or the key of C major and F major. Also, the C major chord is a pivot chord in the key of F major and G major.<\/p>\n

Pivot Chords: C Major And F Major<\/h3>\n

The key of C major and F major:<\/p>\n

C major:
\n
\nF major:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…have a couple of diatonic chords in common. Check them out:<\/p>\n

The C\u00a0major chord:
\n
\n…which is the 1-chord in the key of C major and the 5-chord in the key of F major.<\/p>\n

The D minor chord:
\n
\n…which is the 2-chord in the key of C major and the 6-chord in the key of F major.<\/p>\n

The F major chord:
\n
\n…which is the 4-chord in the key of C major and the 1-chord in the key of F major.<\/p>\n

The A minor chord:
\n
\n…which is the 6-chord in the key of C major and the 3-chord in the key of F major.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These diatonic chords are shared by both keys. Consequently, when modulating from the key of C major to the key of F major (or vice-versa), they can be used as pivot chords to connect both keys.<\/p>\n

The Role Of The Pivot Chord<\/h2>\n

When modulating from one key to another, modulation is smoother when both keys have a diatonic chord in common.<\/p>\n

A common chord that is used to link two keys in the course of modulation is a pivot chord and the role of a pivot chord is to connect two keys that have a chord in common.<\/p>\n

The relationship between the C major triad:
\n
\n…and the following keys:<\/p>\n

Key of C major:
\n
\nKey of F major:
\n
\nKey of G major:
\n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…is that the C major triad is a diatonic chord in all the keys — C major, F major, and G major.<\/p>\n

The pivot chord (the C major triad) makes the following modulations smooth:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. From the key of C major to the key of F major or G major.<\/strong> In this modulation, the C major triad (which is the 1-chord in the key of C major) becomes the 5-chord in the key of F major or a 4-chord in the key of G major.<\/li>\n
  2. From the key of F major to the key of C major or G major. <\/strong>In this modulation, the C major triad (which is the 5-chord in the key of F major) becomes the 1-chord in the key of C major or a 4-chord in the key of G major.<\/li>\n
  3. From the key of G major to the key of F major or C major. <\/strong>In this modulation, the C major triad (which is the 4-chord in the key of G major) becomes the 5-chord in the key of F major or a 1-chord in the key of C major.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    …and that’s because the C major triad is a common chord in the key of C major, F major, and G major.<\/p>\n

    Final Words<\/h2>\n

    Having understood what pivot chords and their function, it’s always important to consider using pivot chords while modulating from one key to another.<\/p>\n

    There are other types of modulation that don’t require the use of a pivot chord and we’ll be covering them in the next lesson.<\/p>\n
