What Are Majors N Minors Chords

What are Chords

A chord is a form of pitch that are placed together on a music sheet, And chords in music is any harmonic of two or more notes that is heard as if sounding. Chords are an important concept in playing music and understanding music and music theory, Basically any combination of notes can be a named a chord. This makes a chord any combination of notes with some kind of structure which has certain characteristics or a typical sound,Major Chords

Major piano chords are considered to be the optimistic chords, Each major chord is named after the key note of the chord. And Major chords have these three notes alone, and thats why  called a major.

Minor Chords

 a minor chord is a chord having a root, When a chord has these three notes alone it is called a minor triad. the minor chord is that this is the only chord of three notes, in which the three notes have one harmonic is hearable and with a not too high.

But minor chords also occur frequently in songs which are written in major keys, and they provide the contrast needed to make a song interesting.

 Major chords are created using the root, 3rd, and 5th of a major scale,

The Treble Clef and The Bass Clef, The Staff

The Treble Clef
When the G-clef is placed on the second line of the stave, it is called the treble clef. This is the most common clef used today, and the only G-clef still in use. For this reason, the terms G-clef and treble clef are often seen as synonymous. It was formerly also known as the violin clef. The treble clef was historically used to mark a treble, or pre-pubescent, voice part.
the instruments 
Use treble clef are the violin, flute, oboe, bagpipe, English horn, all clarinets, all saxophones, horn,trumpet, cornet, euphonium (and occasionally baritone), vibraphone, xylophone, Mandolin, recorderand guitar. Treble clef is the upper stave of the grand stave used for harp and keyboard instruments. It is also sometimes used, along with tenor clef, for the highest notes played by bass-clef instruments such as the cello, double bass (which sounds an octave lower), bassoon, and trombone. The viola also sometimes uses treble clef for very high notes. Treble clef is used for the soprano,mezzo-soprano, alto, contralto and tenor voices. The tenor voice sounds an octave lower, and is often written using an octave clef (see below) or double-treble clef.
The Treble Clef spirals around the second line from the bottom. This spiral tells us that notes on this line are G. And From here we can figure out the other note names simply by going forward or backward through the musical alphabet: A,B,C,D,E,F,G. 

The Bass Clef
The Bass Clef has two dots, above and below the second line from the top. The dots tell us that this line is F.

 

The note names in Bass Clef are:

Middle C is the first ledger line above the staff in Bass Clef.

The Staff
Music is most commonly notated using the Staff (and tablature.) The staff consists of five horizontal lines on which musical notes lie. The lines and the spaces between the lines represent different pitches. Lower pitches are lower on the staff and higher pitches are higher on the staff.

Time Signitures and Key Signatures

Time Signitures

The time signature (also known as meter signature) is a notational convention used in Westernmusical notation to specify how many beats are in each measure and which note value constitutes one beat. In a musical score, the time signature appears at the beginning of the piece, as a time symbol or stacked numerals (such as C or 3
4) read common time and three four time respectively. Immediately following the key signitures or immediately following the clef if the key signature is empty, A mid-score time signature, usually immediately following a barlines, indicates a change of meter.

Key Signitures

a key signature is a series of sharp or flat symbols placed on the staff and designating notes that are to be consistently played one semitone higher or lower than the equivalent natural notes unless otherwise altered with an accidental. Key signatures are generally written immediately after the clefat the beginning of a line of musical notation, although they can appear in other parts of a score, notably after a double barline.

Music Notes and Note Length

Music Notes 

The whole note:

Looks like:an egg on its side, either with a line through it or not.

The half note:

Looks like:the same as a whole not but with a vertical line attached to it.

The quarter note:

Looks like:the same as a half note except the circle is filled in.

The eighth note:

Looks like:the same as quarter notes but with a curly off the line. They can also be put in groups of 4, 3, or 2.

The sixteenth note:

Looks like:the same as an eighth note but has double curlies. Can also be grouped in 4, 3 or 2 but are joined by a double line.

Note Length

In standard notation, a single musical sound is written as a note, The two most important things a written piece of music needs to tell you about a note are its pitch how high or low it is and its duration and how long it lasts.
To find out the pitch of a written note at the clef and the key signature, then see what line or space the note is on. The higher a note sits on the staff, the higher it sounds. To find out the duration of the written note, you look at the tempo and the time signature and then see what the note looks like.








Basic Stem Direction Rules
Single Notes - Notes below the middle line of the staff should be stem up. Notes on or above the middle line should be stem down.


Notes sharing a stem (block chords) - Generally, the stem direction will be the direction for the note that is furthest away from the middle line of the staff


Notes sharing a beam - Again, generally you will want to use the stem direction of the note farthest from the center of the staff, to keep the beam near the staff.


Different rhythms being played at the same time by the same player - Clarity requires that you write one rhythm with stems up and the other stems down.


Two parts for different performers written on the same staff - If the parts have the same rhythm, they may be written as block chords. If they do not, the stems for one part (the "high" part or "first" part) will point up and the stems for the other part will point down. This rule is especially important when the two parts cross; otherwise there is no way for the performers to know that the "low" part should be reading the high note at that spot.
