By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
Identify triads by type, quality, and inversion on the grand staff using lead sheet and figured bass notation.
Construct a triad in root position or inversion in open spacing on the grand staff using correct doubling.
Transcribe and sight-sing melodies that incorporate skips between Do, Mi/Me, and Sol with rhythms incorporating 8th note divisions in 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4 time.

Directions for Identifying Chords
(from MT21st)Directions for Identifying Chords
To determine the chord, write all notes on 3 consecutive lines or spaces (in snowman position). The bottom note of the chord in your stack is the root. The lowest note in the original spacing is the bass.

Doubling? When you write a triad on the grand staff in 4 voices, one note has to be doubled in order to have 4 notes. Which note is typically doubled in each inversion of the triad? Consider the discussion topic from the last class in regard to why chords are inverted. Why do you think these doublings are preferred?
Identifying Triads in on the Grand Staff: Look at one of the examples from the repertoire together (see "Repertoire for Practice" below). Talk through strategies for determining chord roots and inversions using lead sheet and figured bass notation.

Identifying Chords: For each of the song excerpts in the Triad ID section of your anthology here, identify the triad using lead sheet notation on the lines or brackets above the staff. Ignore any notes in parentheses. Use the lowest sounding note in each section marked as the bass of the triad. Use slash notation to identify inversions.
