This week, we learned that there is actually a variation to the away chord. The kids have learned that chords are typically 3 pitches put together, but other chords may have more than three pitches. For example, when the Home chord is C, the Away chord is G, but it can also be a G7 chord. The G7 means that you add a fourth note to the chord, the 7th note away from G. The G7 chord adds a little bit more tension to the chord, really drawing the listener back to the C Chord, or Home Chord. If you haven't read about the Home and Away Chords yet, please check out the last few posts!!!! So, here are a couple examples of the 4th grades playing the C and G7 Chord in the song "Bottles of Pop"!
