Music theory matters – a lot

Learning the Primary Chords in any song you learn

will give you some important secrets as to how harmony works!

To find the primary chords from a song, first

find out the key of the song first. For our example, let’s choose the key of C major as our key

and then construct our primary chords using only notes from that scale. Primary chords are necessary to establish the key of songs and are built upon the first, fourth and fifth step of the scale. Study music theory at kellymusicworks.com/about or follow Gene Kelly on twitter @kellymusicworks
