Grade 4 - Triads and Chords

You will already be familiar with a tonic triad - a chord using the 1^st, 3^rd and 5^th degrees. You now need to be able to recognise triads starting on the 4^th and 5^th degrees which are called subdominant (starting on 4^th degree) and dominant (starting on 5^th degree) triads. Roman numerals are used to describe these primary triads, in uppercase if the triad is major and in lowercase if it is minor. Use this quiz to practise recognising them!
