Notes at once
One more look at what you missed.
A melody is notes one after another.
Harmony is notes at the same moment. This unit is about harmony, starting with its building block.
The same three notes, two ways.
First C, E and G one by one, like a tiny melody. Then all three at once.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Three or more notes at once make a chord.
Two notes at once are a harmonic interval, like the ones you heard in the intervals unit. From three notes up, musicians call it a chord.
Two notes sound together. Is that a chord?
A chord can repeat one of its notes.
The second sound adds C again, one octave higher. It is still the same chord, only fuller.
Which one of these is a chord?
Find C, E and G, and play them in turn.
One white key is skipped between each. A pianist presses all three at once to play the chord.
Four notes at once, with C twice. Is it a chord?
You know what a chord is.
What you learned
- A melody is notes one after another; harmony is notes at the same moment.
- Two notes at once are an interval; three or more make a chord.
- A chord can repeat a note an octave higher and stay the same chord.
