Music Theory - Triads

The video tutorial explains the structure and types of triads in music theory, including major, minor, diminished, and augmented triads. It provides examples using B-flat triads and discusses triad inversions, such as root position, first inversion, and second inversion. The video concludes with an invitation for further learning and engagement.
