Might as well play the very next C Major triad to end it all on a good note (the bird got away, the cat was saved by a little girl, and the dog you ran over wasn’t yours). Play the e minor triad (e-g-b), F major triad (F-A-C), a minor triad (a-c-e), and finally, that old depressing b diminished triad (b-d-f). Play it in the middle of the keyboard with your R.H. Let’s start again with the C Major triad. This leaves out four more notes in the C Major scale: e, F, G, and a. Thus far we have learned and played the C Major triad or chord, the d minor triad or chord, and the b diminished triad or chord. If you haven’t figured it out by now, triads are named after the first note in the chord. Play all the triads in the C Major scale. Instrumental smooth jazz at a ritzy restaurant comes to mind… as long as you don’t know or hear the lyrics to the songs they are parroting. It was pure music for music’s sake… which can be very powerful in its own way. Which means Chopin’s music created a depth of emotion. Chopin did, however, use the same triads we are talking about here. He was called the poet of the piano because his pieces did not evoke any images or stories to them (very different from Mozart who had drama behind everything that he wrote). Fredric Chopin was a famous composer in the Romantic Era.
This is because some musicians do not see images or stories in music. There are styles of music that do not evoke images or stories. Try and make up some of your own, if you can. 5-3-1) an old dog dying after being run over by a car.Īny sort of image or story may come to mind when playing these various chords. Up high it sounds like a drowning bird (who ran into the pond to escape the cat), in the middle a drowning cat (who ran in after the bird), and down low (played with L.H. Play b-d-f at the same time (again using the R.H. This one is even sadder than the minor one. Not only have you lost your job, but you ran over your dog on the way home. using 5-3-1) it’s a droopy-eared bloodhound that lost the tomcat’s scent. In the middle it’s a frisky tomcat who has suddenly realized he is being chased by a dog. Play it high and it’s a dirge sung by a mourning blue Jay, while being chased by a tomcat. This would put your thumb on the d (for the R.H.). (left hand using 5-3-1 fingering) down low, and it’s like an old dog wagging his tail for the first time in many years… he caught the scent of the tomcat of course. Play a C Major chord in the middle of the keyboard and you have a hungry tomcat that has seen the blue jay from afar. This is a C Major chord with a high sound. (right hand) towards the high end of the keyboard (far right section) and play the notes C-E-G at the same time (using 1-3-5 fingering). In fact why don’t we do this? Place your R.
Play them high on the keyboard and they’re delightful like a cheery blue jay greeting the morning of Christmas. We will be discussing the three easiest chords to play: Major, minor, and diminished triads (or chords). Each triad or chord has its own emotion: Major= happy, minor= sad, diminished= depressing, Augmented= dreamy or heavenly. There are four types of triads in all: Major, minor, diminished, and Augmented. The C Major chord spoken of in an earlier lesson is one such triad. How do composers achieve these emotions? It all stems from the type of chords being used.Ī triad is a three-note chord. In a ritzy restaurant, the owners play smooth jazz, creating an atmosphere of delight and charm.
