Sharp means higher, flat means higher. Majors are made up of 7 notes. Triad chords are made of 3 notes played at the same time. I didn’t quite get much of anything else unfortunately…

  • I experimented with Soundtrap.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

I really enjoyed making new patterns in Soundtrap and learning about the chords earlier today. Other than that, work was pretty much taking notes from those videos. When I was making new patterns on Soundtrap, I was a little distracted messing around with the keyboard.
