The Tonic Triad of F Major

A triad is constructed of the first, third and fifth notes of the major scale

F major

1. Understand the Theory

  • A key signature is the sharp signs next to the clef. In this case we have a B flat . If you need help here please see the key signatures blog.

  • The tonic triad is the 1st , 3rd and 5th note of the scale.

  • When there is no key signature this triad requires no additional accidental as there is no B.
