Start with three notes.
Try C, E and G together. That’s a C major chord — a bright place to begin.
Change one note.
Play C, E♭ and G. One small change gives the chord a completely different mood.

What's a beat?
A beat is the steady pulse you might tap your foot to. A rhythm is the pattern of sounds and silences that lives on top of that pulse.
In the beat studio, sixteen steps form a repeating loop. Start with a kick on steps 1, 5, 9 and 13, then add a snare on 5 and 13.
Speed has a feeling.
Tempo is measured in beats per minute, or BPM. A lower number feels more spacious; a higher number can feel energetic and urgent.
Try the same rhythm at 75 BPM and then at 140 BPM. Notice how its character changes even though the pattern stays the same.
Notes in motion.
A melody is a sequence of notes that unfolds over time. It can be a long, winding phrase or just a few notes repeated in a memorable way.
On the keys, play C, D, E, G, then return to E. Repeat it, changing the rhythm each time.
Better together.
When notes sound at the same time, they create harmony. A chord is a group of notes played together; even three notes can say a lot.
Try C–E–G, then C–E♭–G. The difference between major and minor is just one note in this example.
