Keyboard Lesson Two  Introducing scales

Triad / scale relationship


As we said in the introduction, there is a relationship between the major triad and the major scale and I want to explain it to you step by step.

In the G major triad, we have the notes G, B and D.

Let us play this first exercise, using the three notes of the G major triad. We are playing each note individually – as a quarter note. Use the multimedia files as always.
