Triads

Triads are 3 note combinations with variations. Each triad has a specific recognizable sound and meaning. Once you get to know the triads you can easily place them into musical context. They are a powerful tool that can provide a framework for one’s composition. Triads serve as a foundational component in musical creation. In this course, you will learn the basics of combining and using triads. Triads will expand your knowledge base thus opening your mind to possibilities and engaging your creativity.

We will use the piano as our tool to get to know triads and begin visualizing the triads coming to life. In this course, I will share with you great exercises to learn, develop and apply triads. Triads are one of the most powerful tools in creating your own music compositions. This course has 5 videos - over 2.25 hours of instruction.
