Major Chord Triads A triad is a three-note chord. It is written on three successive staff lines or three successive spaces of the staff. The
three notes of a triad are named (from bottom to top) root, third, and fifth, these are built from the first, third, and
fifth notes of the scale. From the major scales that you constructed, build all of the major triads in both treble and
bass clefs. You may use whole notes to construct your triads. Make sure that you include all of the symbols such as
sharps, flats, treble clef,
and bass clef. Identify your triads with capital letters symbolizing the major triads.
