a chord lets people play three or more notes in a note
I believe that is called a chord. Yes, a chord is the straight line segment that crosses a circle, from one side of the circle to the other. The biggest possible chord is the diameter. The curved part of the circle, cut off by the chord [or chords], is the arc or the angle.
Assume you mean the chord of a circle? If the angle between the two radii from the ends of the chord is A, and the radius of the circle is R, the chord length L will be L = 2RsinA/2. You can prove this easily by joining the point bisecting the chord to the centre, you then have two rightangled triangles, with an included angle of A/2, and an opposite side of L/2. So sinA/2 = L/2R.
The longest chord of a circle is its diameter
There is actually no such thing as a "dominant scale", however you can use the notes of a dominant 7th chord as a scale and that can begin on any note, the dominant 7th chord in C major is G7 and G7 uses all white keys (G, B, D and F), the structure of a dominant 7th chord is the major triad plus the flatted 7th.
Depends on the chord.
To find the root note of a chord, look for the note that gives the chord its name. It is usually the note that the chord is built upon and serves as its foundation.
no
To find the root of a chord, identify the note that gives the chord its name. This note is usually the lowest sounding note in the chord and is called the root.
three-note chord (apex)
The III note is A. However, the 3rd note in the chord is the V note. That is C. The F major chord is F, A, C.
No, the root note is not always the lowest note in a musical chord.
The key difference between a major and minor chord lies in the third note of the chord. In a major chord, the third note is four half steps above the root note, while in a minor chord, the third note is three half steps above the root note. By identifying the interval between the root note and the third note of the chord, you can determine whether it is major or minor.
To play a 7 chord on the piano, you need to play the root note of the chord, skip a key, play the third note, skip another key, and then play the fifth note. Finally, add the seventh note of the scale to complete the chord.
Means it's a chord were C is the fundamental note. The fundamental note, is the note from were the chord is constructed. So if it's a C major chord, it could be C E G or C E G B
To name a chord accurately and effectively, identify the root note and quality of the chord. The root note is the starting note of the chord, and the quality describes the sound of the chord (major, minor, diminished, etc.). Use these two elements to name the chord following standard music theory conventions.
A three-note chord must be comprised of three different notes, and is also known as a triad.
