Root-Position Triad Basics -

A triad is a chord composed of three notes stacked in thirds. The lowest note is called the root. The note a third above the root is called the third. The note a fifth above the root is called the fifth. Example
fifth third root
A triad in which the root is the lowest note is called a root-position triad. Close position indicates containment of all chord pitches within the smallest possible interval. Diatonic indicates confinement to the pitches of the prevailing key without chromatic alteration. Answers in this exercise are limited to diatonic close root-position triads. ________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Each of the notes below is the root of a triad. Draw a note a third above each root.
2. Each of the notes below is the root of a triad. Draw a note a fifth above each root.

Close Root-Position Major Triads I -

A root-position major triad is composed of three notes stacked in thirds. The interval between the bottom two notes (root and third) is a major third (M3). The interval between the top two notes (third and fifth) is a minor third (m3). The interval between the bottom and top notes (root and fifth) is a perfect fifth (P5).

A triad in which the fifth is the lowest note is called a second-inversion triad. As shown in the example, a second-inversion triad is created by simply stacking the pitches of a root-position triad with the fifth in the bass.

third root
1. Create close-position second-inversion minor triads using the given notes as roots. Draw (or imagine) the third and fifth above the given root to create a preparatory root-position minor triad. In the blank measure, draw the root and the third exactly as they appear in the preparatory minor triad. Complete the triad by drawing the fifth below the root (an octave lower than the prepartory fifth).

Triads and Major Scales I -
Date____________________
In the example below, root-position triads are built on each scale degree of a C major scale. Each triad is named in accordance with two related chord identification systems. 1. The letter name of each root is combined with a chord-quality designation to form a chord symbol. 2. Roman numerals associate each scale degree with a chord quality. Chord qualities for each scale degree are consistent in all major scales: I, IV and V are major in all keys; ii, iv, and vi are minor; vii is diminished. Scale Degree C Major
