C# D# F# G# A#

C D E F G A B c D E F G A B C D E

Now try building minor thirds (1½ steps) above each of these notes:

For each pair of notes, choose if it’s a major or minor third:

Major 3rd Minor 3rd

Now build a minor triad (minor 3rd + major 3rd) above each of these notes:

Identify the major and minor triads:
