How to Play Chords on the Flute in E: Part 3

We have just looked at 2 of the chords that come out of the major scale. We have looked at the 1 chord in the E major and we looked at the chord F sharp minor that starts on the 2nd note of the scale F sharp. We would now look at other major chords that come out of the E major scale. Remember a major chord has a major 3rd on the bottom which is 4 half steps and a minor 3rd on the top. The other major chords that come out of the other major scales start on the 4th note of the scale A major, C sharp, and E. I'm going to play the arpeggio. Major chord. You can hear the major sound and the next chord that is major from the E major scale starts on the 5th note of the scale which is B major. It has B, D sharp and F sharp which unfortunately is not marked. I will now play the arpeggio. That is the other major chord from the E major scale.
