Lesson 1… Harmony in Motion
Musicians understand that every piece of music has a simple working skeleton. This consists of the activity of the melody and the three note chords that accompany it. The simplicity of this skeletal structure surprises everyone!
Lesson 2… The Heart of Harmony All chord structures, in fact all music, is based on 3 note chords called triads. There are only four kinds of triads. They are amazingly simple in structure. All four can be built from two simple building blocks explained during this lesson.

| Major = bright dark
Minor = dark bright
Diminished = dark dark
Augmented = bright bright
