3. 1 & uh, 2 & uh, 3 & uh, 4 & uh… Compound meter refers to any time signature or meter in which each measure is divided into three or more parts, or two uneven parts, calling for the measures to be played with primary and secondary metric accents. In Western music, the predominant form of compound meter is the division into three parts, often preferring to reduce a higher number of parts to written time signature changes, but more parts are possible. 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, 6/4, 7/4, 7/8, 5/4, 5/8, etc. 6/8 time both simple and compound? What? “America” – West Side Story: Both 6/8 and 3/4

4. A chord with 3 notes (A chord is a group of three or more notes played together) Each note is a specific interval from the next

5. ROOT= bottom note

6. THIRD=middle note ROOT=bottom note

7. FIFTH=top note THIRD=middle note ROOT=Bottom note

8. WARNING! The root, third, and fifth will not ALWAYS be in that order!

9. Major Minor Diminished Augmented

10. M3 + m3 (P5) Created by taking the 1 st, 3 rd, and 5 th notes of a major scale

11. m3 + M3 (P5)

12. m3 + m3 (dim 5)

13. M3 + M3 (aug 5)

14. TONIC (I/i) SUPERTONIC (II/ii) MEDIANT (III/iii) SUBDOMINANT (IV/iv) DOMINANT (V) SUBMEDIANT (VI/vi) LEADING TONE [SUBTONIC] (VII/vii)

15. Add a minor 7 th to the root of a V triad (or a minor 3 rd above the 5 th ). The V7 chord is a chord and not a triad because it has 4 notes rather than 3. Often, the 5 th of a V7 chord is omitted. The V7 chord then has the same number of tones as the I and IV chords while still retaining the quality of a 7 th chord.
