This document discusses diatonic triads, which are chords derived from the notes of a major scale. It shows the triads for the C major scale, including their root notes, quality (major, minor, diminished), and Roman numeral designation within the key. Finally, it displays the diatonic triads for all major keys using this system of Roman numerals to identify the chords' position and quality within each key's scale.

Diatonic / Triads Diatonic: Derived (made, built) from a scale. Triads: A three note Chord. C major scale diatonic triads: Triads derived (made, built) from a C Major Scale. Root 1 C D E F G A B C 3 E F G A B C D E 5 G A B C D E F G Dm Am Em B? G C C F
The Major Scale Diatonic Triad Formula Triad symbols ? Major doesn¡¯t have a symbol as its the most common triad ? Minor uses a lowercase m ? Diminished uses ? ? Augmented uses + C Dm Em F G Am B? C diminished minor minor minor Major Major Major Major
Roman Numerals for Triads Because all Major keys have the same chords as you move up the scale. Roman numerals are used to to identify that within a key the chords are different. But each chord functions the same way between keys. I ii iii IV V vi vii? I C Dm Em F G Am B? C diminished minor minor minor Major Major Major Major As you can see to identify the triads position within the scale we use Roman numerals instead of normal numbers. ? To show that the chord is a major chord the roman numeral is a Capital ? To show that the chord is a minor chord the roman numeral is in lower case ? To show that a chord is a diminished, because of the relationship with the minor triad its a lowercase roman numeral and has its ? symbol. (note) although not shown here, to show that a chord is a augmented chord because of its relationship with the major triad it uses a capital roman numeral and it¡¯s + symbol.
