The Importance of 7th chords
The importance of 7Th chords
"Here I have posted a portion of my lesson plan for only few of my beginner's . I am asking what would be a better way of going about keeping up on their 'current knowledge' (review, test prep). I would love to have a colleague's perspective on what would make this portion of my lesson plan.... well, Better; More understandable.....
A ‘seventh chord’ consists of a triad (1st, 3rd, 5th notes of a scale/Tonic, Mediant, Dominant) plus a note forming an interval of a seventh above the
chord's tonic.
Although;
Triads can be very different. We have learned all about Major Triad Chords so far, we know that this is the 1st, 3rd, and 5th note of any Major Scale.
1.) Question: What is the 1st, 3rd, and 5th note of a Major Triad Chord called?
Answer:
2.) Question: What is the technical name for the 7th note of a chord?
Answer:
2.) Question: What type of sound dynamic is being made if you play the 1st, 3rd,5th, and 7th notes of a scale together?
Answer:
3.) Question: Can an Arpeggio be played in a Harmonic Pattern?
Answer:
We will now start to talk about Minor Triad Chords. In order to make a Minor Triad Chord, it really is quite simple.
You play the Major Triad Chord, like usual; But instead of playing the 1st,3rd,and 5th note of the scale, you will move the 3rd note 'mediant; down (descending) the piano a half step.
Here is an example for you to better understand.
C Major Scale: C D E F G A B C
C Major Triad Chord: C E G
C Minor Triad Chord: C Eflat G
This is the general, loosely based lesson plan for next week with my beginners. Could I have help on how it could be more understandable? Ratable? Thanks so much.
