Triads

Triads are the basic building blocks of Western Music.

Triads form the basic chords that are extensively used in the music that you and I listen to.

A triad is formed from three notes. If you are not too familiar with intervals, you may want brush up on them.

When forming any triad, we start with a root note, which we label as 1.

Major Triads

The major triad has a root (1),  major third (3) and a perfect fifth (5).
