I get questions from those who want to know the exact number of tones in a chord and that’s our focus in this lesson.<\/p>\n

A good way to start a lesson of this sort is with a review on the concept of a chord — its definition, a breakdown of relevant keywords, and a few other things — before we go on with what we have to cover.<\/p>\n

Are you ready?!<\/p>\n

Alright, kindly give me your undivided attention for the next seven minutes or so and we’ll be done with this lesson.<\/p>\n

“What Is A Chord?”<\/em><\/h2>\n

Here’s the definition of a chord:<\/p>\n

A chord consists of a collection of three or more related notes (which may be agreeable or not) played or heard together.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’ll try and stay within the boundaries of these two keywords from the definition of a chord:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Related notes<\/li>\n
  2. Three or more<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let’s go on!<\/p>\n

    “Related Notes? Here’s Some More Information…”<\/em><\/h3>\n

    The notes of the C major triad:
    \n
    \n…are related in two ways – by a scale and by a class of harmony.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. By the C major scale<\/li>\n
    2. By the tertian harmony<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The root, third, and fifth tones of the C major triad (which are C, E, and G) are the first, third, and fifth tones of the C major triad:<\/p>\n

      C major triad:
      \n
      \nC major scale:
      \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      So, C, E, and G, are related by the C major scale.<\/p>\n

      Also, it’s important to note that the tones of the C major triad are related by the tertian harmony. What this means is that the distance between the successive tones of the C major triad is based on third intervals.<\/p>\n

      Between the tones of the C major triad:<\/p>\n

      C to E:
      \n
      \nE to G:
      \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      …are all third intervals.<\/p>\n

      Always remember that only related notes can form a chord and the relationship between chord tones must be based on a scale and class of harmony<\/p>\n

      It Takes At Least Three Notes To Form A Chord<\/h3>\n

      From the definition of a chord:<\/p>\n

      A chord consists of a collection of three or more<\/strong> related notes (which may be agreeable or not) played or heard together.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      …we can figure out the number of tones it takes to form a chord.<\/p>\n

      Although it’s clear that one or two tones cannot form a chord (because the definition says three or more), we’re not certain if the exact number of tones should be three, four, five, six, or even more.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, we’ll be going a step further in the next segment to determine the exact number of tones in a chord.<\/p>\n

      The Exact Number Of Tones In A Chord<\/h2>\n

      The term chord is a generic term used to describe a collection of “three or more” related notes. As such, there is no specific answer to the number of tones that should be in a chord.<\/p>\n

      The term C major chord can mean any of the two or more:<\/p>\n

      C major triad:
      \n
      \nC major seventh chord:
      \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      So, the term “chord” is not precise enough to tell us the number of tones in a chord and that’s why there are more specific terms that are used to describe chords that will give you a clue on the total number of notes in the chord.<\/p>\n

      Let’s go ahead and look at these specific terms and the chords they are described with.<\/p>\n

      Triads — “Three-Toned Chords”<\/em><\/h3>\n

      A triad is a chord of three notes, consisting of a root, third, and fifth tone.<\/p>\n

      The term triad <\/em>is specifically used to make reference to three-toned chords and does not refer to any other chord type. A triad can only have more or less than three tones when one of its tones are duplicated or omitted.<\/p>\n

      So, the exact number of tones in a triad is three — no more, no less.<\/p>\n

      “Check Out The Four Triad Types Starting From C…”<\/em><\/p>\n

      The C major triad:
      \n
      \nThe C minor triad:
      \n
      \nThe C augmented triad:
      \n
      \nThe C diminished triad:
      \n<\/p>\n

      Sixth And Seventh Chords — “Four-Toned Chords”<\/em><\/h3>\n

      Sixth and seventh chords are four-toned chords.<\/p>\n

      A closer look at these two examples:<\/p>\n

      C major sixth chord:
      \n
      \nC major seventh chord:
      \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      …shows that sixth and seventh chords have four tones each:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Seventh chords:<\/strong> Root + Third + Fifth + Seventh<\/li>\n
      • Sixth chords:<\/strong> Root + Third + Fifth + Sixth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        It’s not wrong to say that sixth and seventh chords are derived from triads because all sixth and seventh chords are basically triads with an additional tone that is a sixth or seventh interval above the root.<\/p>\n

        Although the term “sixth chord” and “seventh chord” might literally suggest that the chords are made up of six and seven tones respectively, that’s actually not the case.<\/p>\n

        Sixth chords and seventh chords are described as sixths <\/em>and sevenths <\/em>because of the interval between the root and the highest-sounding chord tone when they’re played in root position.<\/p>\n

        In the C major sixth chord:
        \n
        \n…the interval between the root (which is C) and the highest-sounding chord tone (which is A):<\/p>\n

        C-A:
        \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        …is a sixth interval and that’s what makes it a sixth chord.<\/p>\n

        The same thing goes for the C major seventh chord:
        \n
        \n…where the interval between the root (which is C) and the highest-sounding chord tone (which is B):<\/p>\n

        C-B:
        \n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        …is a seventh interval. So, seventh chords encompass the interval of a seventh.<\/p>\n

        Extended Chords — “Chords Consisting Of Five Tones And More”<\/em><\/h3>\n

        Beyond seventh and sixth chords are extended chords.<\/p>\n

        There are called extended chords because they exceed the compass of the octave. For example, the following extended chords:<\/p>\n

        C major ninth:
        \n
        \nC minor eleventh:
        \n
        \nC dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
        \n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        …are all bigger than the octave:<\/p>\n

        C to C (octave):
        \n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Ninth chords have five tones:<\/p>\n

        The C major ninth is an example:
        \n
        \n…and every ninth chord has a root, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth tone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Eleventh chords have six tones:<\/p>\n

        For example, the C minor eleventh chord:
        \n
        \n…consists of a root, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh tone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Thirteenth chords have seven tones:<\/p>\n

        The C dominant thirteenth [sharp eleventh] chord:
        \n
        \n…consists of its root, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth tone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Final Words<\/h2>\n

        It’s possible to omit one or more tones in a chord.<\/p>\n

        However, this does NOT in anyway change the number of notes a specific chord consists of. For example, every triad consists of three notes; the omission of any of its tones doesn’t change it in any way.<\/p>\n

        If you’re interested in learning about the rules that guide the omission of chord tones, then keep an eye on this blog because we’ll be covering that in subsequent lessons.<\/p>\n

        All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
