INTRODUCTION PART IV OF BLOG
We will now continue with the 4th introduction of this blog, but this time we'll be talking about Intervals. Remember to go back in
the blog if you miss out on something.
MUSIC THEORY OF INTERVALS
Short introduction to Intervals:
Intervals in music are important, they tell you the distance between notes in music, melodically and harmonically. With intervals you can make any chord or any scale, this also tells you much about how music is constructed.
There are two intervals you should learn straight away; the major and the minor 2nd interval. With these two intervals you will be able to construct the major scale. Take a closer look at the Second Intervals under:
HALF STEPS ON THE PIANO (Minor 2nds)
This is the smallest interval or distance between two notes on the piano:

WHOLE STEP ON THE PIANO (Major 2nds)
The whole step consists of two half steps. There will only be room for one note between two notes in a whole step. Take a look at the piano chart under and you’ll get the picture:

INTERVALS FROM FIRST NOTE IN THE C MAJOR SCALE
Take a look at the numbers 1 to 8 below? You will find the name of the intervals in the scale by its relation to the first note:

MELODIC INTERVALS
You can probably see this clearer below. The names of intervals are based on latin. Here they are in English:
(go to blog-link in profile or look at photo)
This might be a bit much about intervals, but it is useful to know in order to understand the connections between chords and scales in music.
There are several variations of each interval. If you want to learn more about this I recommend you to search more on internet. We need to get on with the chords soon, but in the meantime you can take a look at the «Interval Chart» under for a more detailed Interval overview.

INTRODUCTION PART III OF BLOG
We will now continue with the 3rd introduction of this blog, but this time we'll be talking about Music Theory of Chords. Remember to go back in
the blog if you miss out on something.
MUSIC THEORY OF CHORDS
We need to talk some more before we move on to the 1st Chord of the Week. Before we start laying out all the chord charts in this blog, I would like to go through some basic music theory. This will help you understand the subject of this blog and learn the principle of how to construct different chords based on the major scale. At this point we need to talk a bit about the major scale.
THE MAJOR SCALE
The major scale has 8 steps, the 8th note is a repeat of the first note up an octave. If you read music you will be able to read the eight notes under. The same thing might be easier to interpret if you look at the ¨scale piano chart¨ on the bottom of this page.
THE C MAJOR SCALE - music notation
(go to blog-link in profile or look at photo)
HOW TO CONSTRUCT A MAJOR SCALE
If you take a closer look at the whole and half steps between the notes in the major scale you will end up with 2 1/2 + 3 1/2 steps. This will be the result, can you see the whole and half steps between the notes in the major scale?
WWh + WWWh (What a great heading) 😂
Here you will be able to see the intervals between the notes in the major scale, and remember it is the same for all of the major scales. The result is: (Whole - Whole - Half + Whole - Whole - Whole - Half steps. )
THE INTERVALS OF THE C MAJOR SCALE - music notation
(go to blog-link in profile or look at photo)
THE INTERVALS OF THE C MAJOR SCALE ON THE PIANO
Take a closer look at the information on this piano scale chart; 8 notes in the scale, note names, distance between notes or intervals; whole and half steps. (go to blog-link in profile or look at photo)
THE SAME PRINCIPAL FOR ALL MAJOR SCALES
Here are two more examples of major scales, the G major and the F major scale. They also build on the formula 2 1/2 + 3 1/2 steps as you can see. So if anybody asks you how to construct a major scale, then you’ll know.
MAJOR SCALE, INTERVAL CONTENT AND TRANSPOSITIONS
All major scales consist of the exact same interval content, so below you can see the G and the F major scale. If you compare all of them you will find that the G and the F major scale are simply a transposition of the C major scale. They sound the same, but will start from different notes higher or lower. Take a closer look below, even play the scales on your instrument, that will also give you a better understanding.
The intervals of the G major scale, music notation: (one #)
The intervals of the G major scale on the piano: (one #)
The intervals of the F major scale, music notation: (one b)
The intervals of the F major scale on the piano: (one b)
(go to blog-link in profile or look at photo for all this)

CHORD OF THE WEEK~Intro part II
Chords for Songwriters - Music Producers - Aspiring Composers
www.jmlmusic.no/blog/chord-of-the-week-understandi…
INTRODUCTION PART II OF BLOG
We will now continue with the 2nd introduction of this blog, but this time we'll explain fully the «Piano Chord Chart Overview». You will find one more photo of the «Piano Chord Chart» underneath, this time you hopefully understand more of it. You can always go back if you missed something.
THE PIANO CHORD CHART EXPLAINED:
CHORD SYMBOLS
Musicians, piano players, guitarists and even bass players use chord symbols when reading music in a band, or when recording music in a studio. Understanding what notes to put together in a chord is important to be able to read chords or chord progressions. Chords are also important for composers, arrangers, music producers and songwriters. Understanding chords and harmonies will usually lead to more interesting musical solutions. Good melodies also arise from creative chord progressions.
CHORD FORMULAS
Chord formulas show you how a chord is created based on the steps of the major scale. If you take the time to learn the major scale, chord formulas and the intervals you will be able to find any chord without using a chord chart. This is one of the purposes of this blog, to give you a greater overview and understanding.NAMES OF CHORD NOTES
Every chord consists of different notes, these notes are called chord notes.
ROOT COLOUR CODED RED
The root of a chord is the first note of the chord, and it helps to define the chord. You usually find the root in a bass instrument, unless we are talking about a chord inversion, then another note will be the lowest note of a chord.
ENHARMONIC SPELLINGS
We use the term “enharmonic” in music when we want to point out that there are two ways to indicate the same note. For example Ab and G# is the same note, just spelt differently.
CHORD NOTES IN PARENTHESIS
The chord notes you find in parentheses is what I call practical spelling. When reading notes in a chord it is easier just to read a G instead of an Abb, even if it is the same note enharmonically.
PIANO CHORD CHART ONE MORE TIME (look at photo)
Take one more look at the «Piano Chord Chart Overview».
We did this in the first blog post, but this time
with the above explanation in mind.

PIANO CHORD CHART
In this blog you will find chord charts that will provide you with the information you need to learn more about chords. My blog will tell you how the chords are constructed and about chord formulas, chord symbols, names of chord notes and the root of the chords.
LEARNING FROM THIS BLOG
Remember to take one step at a time when learning piano chords or the theory behind them. Spending about 10 to 15 minutes a day on this chord blog or my book will give you good results over time. Understanding how to construct chords will also help you to learn and play chords quicker. That's how it is with most subjects, the more you understand the easier it gets.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MYBOOK OR BLOG
Primarily you will find many explanatory piano chord charts that will visually help you to understand chords in general. By playing the chords you will also learn how the chords sounds. You will find:
•Chord Symbols
• Chord formulas
• Names of chord notes
• Roots (colour coded)
• Enharmonic spelling for understanding correct chord construction
• Practical spelling of chords
Take a good look at the explanatory piano chord chart under, it will be a good introduction to the learning of chords
on the piano or keyboard.

CHORD OF THE WEEK~Introduction part I
Chords for Songwriters - Music Producers - Aspiring Composers
www.jmlmusic.no/blog/chord-of-the-week-understandi…
Every week from now (for quite a while) I will present a new chord on this blog, but first I will give you some background for this blog based on my book «Understanding Chords on the Piano». This background will be presented in six blog posts ahead before the weekly introduction of chords will take place in my blog. I'll keep you posted, so please follow me for all the updates.
WHY THIS TITLE
Understanding Chords on the Piano
I hope the title of this book will help you understand what to expect from this blog. I could have named the book ¨Piano Chords¨, but that would not be sufficiently descriptive of what to expect from this book, or blog. I hope the title ¨Understanding Chords on the Piano¨ gives you the picture. The intention is to help you understand how the chords are constructed, not only show you how to play them.
WHY THIS BLOG
For some time now as a composer, songwriter, music producer and music teacher I've been wanting to write some books on music theory. So far I've written two books, one on basic music theory and one book on the subjects of chords for the piano. This blog will be based on the book about piano chords that I've written, and this book is also called Understanding Chords on the Piano.
WHO IS THIS BLOG FOR
This blog is especially intended for songwriters, music producers and aspiring composers, and for anybody interested in learning more about chords and music theory. I've encountered many creative talents in music, songwriting, production and composition. Often I see that additional knowledge of music theory is needed as a tool to further students creative writing and understanding of music. Harmonies and chords are are also important for the quality of outcome in creative music writing, so hopefully this blog will give you some insight on the subject.
