Chords and harmony: why the song works

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

A chord is several notes at once: major sounds bright (C-E-G), minor sad (C-E♭-G). Songs build on 4 chords: C-G-Am-F — thousands of hits stand on them. Harmony is the chords\u2019 relationship: tonic (home) → subdominant → dominant (tension) → return home. Music = a journey with return.

●Major = joy, minor = sadness — the mood rule
●The 4 hit chords: C-G-Am-F — try them in a piano app
●Bass holds the bottom, melody rides on top — teamwork

🎶 Beethoven, born in Bonn, wrote symphonies when already deaf — the Ninth ("Ode to Joy") became Europe\u2019s anthem.
