Every musical chord is made up of a set of notes played together, based on a pattern of intervals from the root note of the chord. We will see how this works in the next topic.
The intervals in a chord are referred to with the special term degrees. Degrees names are very similar to interval names, but use a more convenient shorthand notation.
Listed below are the symbols and names of the degrees, and their equivalent interval names and sizes (in semitones).
Bring these music concepts to life with the free Songtrix Bronze Edition as you create songs from chords and scales. Then publish and share your ideas with the other musicians you meet on the ChordWizard Network.
