Triads and Chords Part 2 | Music Theory Podcast

Welcome to Triads and Chords Part 2 on the Music Theory Podcast! In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the world of triads and chords, building on the foundational concepts covered in Part 1. Whether you're a music theorist, music educator, musician, or music student, this episode will further enhance your understanding of chord construction, harmony, and chord progressions in Western music theory.

We begin by exploring more advanced chord structures, including seventh chords, ninth chords, and extended chords, explaining how these chords are formed and function within different musical contexts. We also break down how to use inversions and voicing techniques to create smooth chord progressions and add complexity to your compositions and arrangements.

This episode is essential for those looking to elevate their understanding of harmony, tonal music, and advanced chord theory. We also touch on how historical trends in harmony, from classical to jazz and contemporary styles, have influenced the use of chords and progressions in modern music.

By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer grasp of how to build and analyze complex chords, and how to incorporate them into your own musical projects. Don’t miss out—subscribe now for more music theory insights!
