I. Introductory Concept

Musical texture refers to the general quality of one or numerous layers of sound
heard at the same time. It refers to the thinness, thickness, lightness, and heaviness
of the sound of a musical composition. The kinds of texture are monophonic,
homophonic, and polyphonic.

Monophonic texture refers to the simplest pattern of musical texture. It is a

composition with a single melodic line without accompaniment. It may be sung by an
individual person or a group of people as long as there is a single musical voice and
the same notes are performed in unison.

Homophonic texture is a composition with a single melodic line accompanied

by a musical instrument. The focus is given on the relationship of the main melody and
on the accompaniment.

When a musical composition is written in two or more independent melodic

lines, a polyphonic texture is produced. It has a complex sound compared to
monophonic or homophonic music. This kind of texture is frequently used in a canon
or round, choral, instrumental ensemble, or orchestral music.

II. Learning Skills from the MELCs

Distinguishes monophonic, homophonic, and polyphonic textures.

I. Introductory Concept

A chord is composed of three or more tones or notes that are played together.
The basic chord that produces harmony is triad. A triad is made up of three notes – a
root, its third, and its fifth.

Primary chords are also called family chords. These three major chords
frequently appear in a specific key signature. To be able to locate the primary chords
of a key signature, select the 1st, 4th, and 5th notes of a scale. Tonic (I) is the first note
of the given key. Subdominant (IV) is the fourth note and dominant (V) is the fifth note
of the given key. Primary chords are used to accompany simple melodies.

The secondary chords are derived from the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th degrees of the
scale. These chords are also called supertonic (ii), mediant (iii), submediant (vi), and
leading tone (vii0).

Study the common key signatures with their primary and secondary chords.

sound than plain major scales.

II. Learning Skills from the MELCs

Distinguishes the sound of a major chord from a minor chord.

I. Introductory Concept

When the notes on the chord are played together, they produce beautiful
harmony. Harmony is the simultaneous sounding of two or more pitches. To
harmonize a melody in a particular measure, it is important to know the different
chords.

A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of pitches consisting of multiple notes

that are heard as if sounding simultaneously. Primary chords frequently appear in a
specific key signature. To be able to locate the primary chord of a key signature, select
the 1st, 4th, and 5th notes of a scale. These chords are also identified as tonic (I),
subdominant (IV) and dominant (V). Other chords apart from I, IV and V are called
secondary chords.

C major is a major scale based on C, with the pitches C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.

C major is one of the most common key signatures used in music. Its key signature
has no flats and no sharps.

G major is a major scale based on G, with the pitches G, A, B, C, D, E, and F♯.

Its key signature has one sharp, F♯.

F major is a major scale based on F, with the pitches F, G, A, B♭, C, D, and E.

Its key signature has one flat, B♭.

 Being the most basic and the simplest, primary chords are usually used as
