MA JOR AND MINOR KEYS

MAJOR AND MINOR• In Western music, the adjectives major and minor can describe a musical

composition, movement, section, scale, key, chord, or interval.

• What Is the Difference Between Major and Minor?

• The difference between major and minor chords and scales boils down to a difference of one

essential note – the third.

• The third is what gives major-sounding scales and chords their brighter, cheerier sound, and what

gives minor scales and chords their darker, sadder sound.

MAJOR AND MINOR – 3RD NOTEWhat Do You Mean by Third?

• If you’ve spent any time studying a few scales you should know many scales contain seven

different notes. For example, the major scale contains a Root, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.

• Similarly, most chords and arpeggios usually contain 3 or 4 different notes like a Root, 3rd, and

5th (triads), or a Root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th (seventh chords).

• All of these scales and chords contain that important note the 3rd in them. Compared to

major scales and chords, minor scales and chords have different 3rds.

example of a major 3rd (C to E) and a minor 3rd (C to Eb)
