about

A bit of a silly song, but inspired by a student who mistook the qualities of thirds based on the way she imagined the harmony. So this song tries to explain.

lyrics

Here's a major third and a minor third
But a major chord still has a minor third
Here's a minor third and a major third
But a minor chord still has a major third
If you want to know a chord's quality
It's the third from the root that counts, you see.
That's all this little song's about
So take time to practice and figure it out.
