Thirds together
One more look at what you missed.
Two notes can also sound at the same time.
Played together, an interval is harmonic. One after the other, it is melodic.
The same major third, apart and together.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Together, the colour is easier to hear.
A major third played together sounds bright and sweet. A minor third sounds soft and a little sad.
A major third and a minor third, together.
Both notes at once. Bright and sweet: major 3rd. Soft and sad: minor 3rd.
If it is hard, hum the two notes from low to high.
That turns the harmonic third back into a melodic one, which you already know.
Hum along: the pair together, then low to high.
The same two thirds, played higher up the keyboard.
You can hear thirds played together.
What you learned
- Two notes at once make a harmonic interval; one after the other, a melodic one.
- Together, a major third sounds bright and a minor third sounds darker.
