Ch. 11. Scale Degrees and Roman Numerals

11.7 Identify triads on random roots by Roman numerals

Major Keys:

I ii iii IV V vi vii°

Harmonic Minor: i ii° III

iv V VI vii°

The previous two worksheets demonstrate that:

•The order of triad types on successive scale degrees is the same for all major

keys, and

•Another order holds for all minor keys using the harmonic minor scale.

•The chart at the top of the page shows the sequences with Roman numerals.

In major the order is:

1.major, 2.minor,

3.minor,

4.major, 5.major, 6.minor, 7.diminished

In harmonic minor the order is:

1.minor, 2.diminished, 3.augmented, 4.minor, 5.major 6.major, 7.diminished

1. MEMORIZE the order of triad types in major and harmonic minor.

2. IDENTIFY the keys and Roman numerals for the following triads.
