“Diatonic” = Notes found within a particular scale For instance, the “diatonic” notes of the C Major Scale are the white notes on a piano “Triad” = A chord made up of three notes Usually this refers to the the 1st ,3rd and 5th notes of the scale “Seventh Chord” = A chord which has the 7th note of the scale added to a triad

Before you practice: You'll notice that every page includes Chords that are identified by Roman Numerals. For instance: Key: E Major Diatonic Triads
Chord: I
Chord: ii
Notice that the first chord is labeled “I” and is a capital roman numeral. This means that the chord is a Major Chord. The second chord is labeled “ii” and is a lower-case roman numeral. This means that the chord is a minor Chord. You'll also see one other type of chord in this chart. It is a diminished chord and is labeled with a small circle. For instance:
Chord: viio

What is a “minor” key? Actually, there are a number of different types of minor keys, or “modes”. If you go through the first three chapters of “How to Match up chords with any melody” as found at: http://www.PlayPianoTODAY.com/mcm you'll find that we explored the concept of “modes”. The “key” of a song gets it's designation from the “tonic” note, or “home base” note of the song. The “mode” of that key can be “Major” or “minor”, as well as many different exotic modes. (Just ask a jazz guitarist about modes and you'll see their face light up!) In common use, the “key” of a song combines it's Tonic Note with it's mode. For instance, you would commonly say “Key of Bb Major”, but if you were being hyper correct, you might say “Key of Bb in a Major mode”. Although the term “minor” is a common term in music, it actually is not a complete term. This is because there are a number of different types of minor “modes”, each slightly different. In this lesson, we are exclusively using the “Natural Minor” mode. For simplicities sake, I'll simply refer to this as “minor”. For instance, you'll hear me say: “Key of Bb minor” We'll explore the concept of the other minor modes in future lessons. Go Practice! David Sprunger PlayPianoTODAY.com
