Therefore, before we go any further, permit me to do a quick review on the 1-chord in the major key.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On The 1-chord In The Major Key<\/h2>\n<p>There are seven unique tones in the major key. 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=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;there are seven unique tones and they are as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C D E F G A and B<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Each of these tones are associated with numbers; starting from C which is associated as the 1:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C is associated with 1<\/p>\n<p>D is associated with 2<\/p>\n<p>E is associated with 3<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;etc<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and so are the chords derived from each of the tones.<\/p>\n<p>So, the 1-chord is the chord of the first tone of the C major scale (which is C):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s the C major triad:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow, if someone asks you what the 1-chord in the key is, you can say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>In the number system (where chords are associated with numbers), the 1-chord is the chord of the first tone of the scale.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The 1-chord is considered by music scholars as the most important chord in the key and there are so many reasons why this is so.<\/p>\n<p>However, I picked out four reasons (that I&#8217;ll be sharing with you in the next segment) and I know that you&#8217;ll learn a couple of things and above all, appreciate the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;Why Is The 1-chord Is The Most Important Chord In The Key?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>I know you really want to know why the 1-chord is the most important chord in the major key. Well, one of the most common reasons you can easily read up is this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The 1-chord is the most important chord in the key because it is the chord of the first tone in the key.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s not one of the four reasons I want to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll start with the first reason, which focuses on the stability of the 1-chord in the key.<\/p>\n<h3>Reason #1 &#8212; <em>&#8220;The 1-Chord Is The Most Stable Chord In The Key&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>In the major key, the 1-chord is the most stable chord and its sound reinforces the key you&#8217;re in and also resonates the feeling of <em>being at home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are seven unique chords in the key with their individual functions and when played, each of them give us their unique feeling.<\/p>\n<p>If you play all the chords in the key in a succession starting from the first chord in the key, by the time you get to the first chord (aka &#8211; &#8220;the 1-chord&#8221;), you&#8217;ll see the completeness that comes with the 1-chord that no other chord in the key has.<\/p>\n<h3>Reason #2 &#8212; <em>&#8220;The 1-chord Contains All The Stable Tones In The Key&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>All the tones in the major key are divided into stable and active tones. The stable tones in a key are the first, third, and fifth tones in the key.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the first, third, and fifth tones are C, E, and G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,E,G,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and these are identical with the tones of the 1-chord in the key &#8212; the C major triad.<\/p>\n<p>So, all the tones of the 1-chord are stable tones and no other chord in the key can beat this. Although there are chords can have on or two stable tones in the key, only the 1-chord has all the stable tones.<\/p>\n<h3>Reason #3 &#8212; <em>&#8220;Most Melodies Start From The Tones Of The 1-chord&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Most melodies to songs that we sing on daily basis start off with the tones of the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-chord consists of the first, third, and fifth tones of the major scale and these are the tones that most melodies start from.<\/p>\n<p>How any melody and try to play it in the key of C major:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and I guarantee you that the first note would most likely be any of the tones of the 1-chord in the key (the C major triad):<\/p>\n<p>The melody you just hummed is most likely to start from any of these three notes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nE:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nG:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=FFCCFF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If I guessed right, just be sure that this is no magic! That&#8217;s the power of the 1-chord in the major key.<\/p>\n<h3>Reason #4 &#8212; <em>&#8220;Songs Usually Start And End On The 1-chord&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The first and last chord you&#8217;re most likely to play in songs across a lot of genres in classical and popular music is the 1-chord.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all the hymns, congregational songs, praise songs, worship songs, etc., start and end on the 1-chord in the key and this is because it is the most important chord in the key.<\/p>\n<p>While trying to learn a new song, you can always assign the first and last chord to the 1-chord and 95-99% of the time, you&#8217;ll be correct.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>The importance of the 1-chord in the major key can not be over-emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>After the 1-chord, the next chord in terms of importance is the 5-chord (which is technically known as the dominant chord) and that&#8217;s going to be our focus in the next lesson.<\/p>\n<p>See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1-chord is the most important chord in the major key and I&#8217;ll be giving you four reasons why this is
