Chords Introduction

        Chords may not seem to matter much depending on the instrument you play, especially if you can only play one note at a time. However, chords are important because they explain more relationships between notes.  Have you ever looked at the full score of a piece your band or orchestra is playing? You'll see that everyone has different notes, but they all sound good together. You could probably hear that while playing.
       A chord is three or more notes played at the same time. This could be from the same instrument or different instruments. Any three notes or more notes. Ever. Needless to say some chords sound absolutely horrible, but some sound absolutely heavenly. Why is this? That's what I'm answering in this series.
