EKS Lesson Three Developing scales and triads
It is also possible to play the A triad one octave lower on the keyboard using your left hand. The notes are of course the same: namely A, C# and E. These notes are selected from the A major scale. If you count the notes in the scale you will see that they are the first, third and fifth notes of the scale. Look at our table below.
