What are the terms?
Chords
Created when more than one note is played at once, and contains two, three, or more individual notes. On the piano, this means you push down more than one key at the same time.
Major Chords
The most common triad, or three-note chord, is the major chord. Their popularity and versatility make them great piano chords for beginners to learn.

Minor Chords
Like the major chord, it promotes the use of three-note chords, where the initial key is the root note. Note to use the notes remember to move 2 steps forward in the key for better syncing.

Diminished Chords
Diminished keyboard chords are less common than major and minor chords, but are still frequently used in rock and pop songs. They have a tense sound which is commonly used to transition between two other chords.
