theory of chords

The theory of chords involves understanding how different notes work together to create harmony in music. A chord is formed when multiple notes are played simultaneously, typically built from a root note and other notes that, when combined, produce a sense of stability, tension, or emotion. Chords can be major, minor, or other types, each conveying different feelings. The arrangement of notes within a chord follows specific patterns called progressions, which guide how chords move from one to another in a piece. This framework helps musicians craft melodies and harmonies that evoke particular moods and connect musical ideas.
