Thanks Dan for your previous help i understand the circle now !>!! Now i have one final question ... I am to learn the major triad for each note. i have to play five notes up then back down .. cna you explan to me how i go about doing so .?
would it be like
1. starting at Concert Eb
- C,D,E,F,G,F,E,D,C
2.
-F,G,A,Bb,C,Bb,A,G,F
3.
-Bb,C,D,Eb,F,Eb,D,C,Bb
4.
-Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,Ab,G,F,Eb
And so on and so forth ????
Thanks
Emily
Well, you are right. In concert Eb, the first note for you would be C. However,"Major triad" refers to the notes C, E and G. So, I'm not sure what the 5 notes that your teacher wants are...the notes you wrote are the first 5 notes of the scale in C (or Eb concert). This may be correct. You have the major triad plus 2 notes in between. Sometimes, more advanced students play a triad exercise like this: they play the 1st note, the 3rd note, the 5th note, then the 7th note, then the ninth note. So, in C that would be....C, E, G, B, D. and then back down. That's the only other possibility that comes to mind when you mention 5 notes.
But if we assume the first 5 notes of the scale as you wrote, then you are absolutely correct!!

To learn the major triad for each note, you can start by understanding the concept of a major triad. A major triad consists of three notes: the root, the major third, and the perfect fifth.
To generate the major triad for each note, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the desired note, which in your case is Concert Eb.
- Note: Concert Eb refers to the key of Eb, so when you say "Concert Eb," it means the key of Eb major.
2. Write down the scale of Eb major to identify each note within the key. The Eb major scale consists of the notes: Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C, and D.
3. Take each note in the scale and build a major triad using the root, major third, and perfect fifth. For example, if you want to find the major triad for C in the key of Eb major, follow these steps:
- Start with the root, which is C.
- Find the major third interval above C, which is E.
- Find the perfect fifth interval above C, which is G.
- So, the major triad for C in the key of Eb major is C, E, G.
4. Repeat this process for each note in the Eb major scale to find the major triad for each note. Here are the major triads for each note in the scale of Eb major, following your numbering system:
1. Concert Eb:
- C, E, G, F, D, F, E, C
2. F:
- F, A, C, Bb, G, Bb, A, F
3. G:
- G, B, D, C, A, C, B, G
4. Ab:
- Ab, C, Eb, Db, Bb, Db, C, Ab
And so on...
Remember to play each major triad five notes up and then back down, as you mentioned in your question. In this case, it means playing the major triad for each note in ascending order and then descending back to the starting note.
