Videos for Homework for F 4-5

I sent you the homework for tomorrow (Fri. 4/5) earlier this afternoon.  In it, you're labeling and writing triads, as you did for Wednesday, and also 7th chords, which we learned about on Wednesday.

We're dealing with only one form of 7th chords at this point--a major triad, with an additional note a minor third above the fifth, which is also a minor 7th above the root.  This is called a "major-minor" 7th chord, because it is a major triad with a minor seventh (above the root.  It is also called a "dominant 7th" chord, because it is the type of 7th chord that occurs when one stacks thirds on the 5th note (i.e., the dominant) of a major scale.

Here's a video on these 7th chords:

We also are starting to deal with the phenomenon of "inverted" triads (other chords get inverted, too).  We say a chord is inverted when a note other than the root is the lowest-sounding note.  In the homework, there are a series of triads where I've written the triad so the 3rd is on the bottom, with the 5th immediately above it, and then the root a P4 above the 5th.

In the homework, all you need to do is rewrite the triad so the root is on the bottom, and then label the triad. What you're doing, then, is "deinverting" the triad.  Here's an explanation if you need one:
