Roman Numeral Chord Notation - Music Theory

The video tutorial explains two systems for labeling chords: basic Roman and extended Roman. It covers how to construct triads in C major, label them using Roman numerals, and differentiate between major and minor chords. The tutorial also discusses chord structures in minor keys, including diminished and augmented chords, and provides recommendations on when to use each system.

What are the two systems used for labeling chords?

• Primary and Secondary

• Basic Roman and Extended Roman

• Diatonic and Chromatic

• Major and Minor

In the key of C major, what notes form the triad for the first chord?

• E, G, B

• D, F, A

• C, E, G

Why are Roman numerals used to label chords?

• To match the scale degrees

• To avoid confusion with other numerical uses

• To simplify chord progressions

• Because they look more elegant
