A '''triad''' is a musical [[chord (music)|chord]] that consists of three [[Note (music)|notes]] stacked on top of each other in generic thirds. From the lowest tone to the highest, a triad consists of a root, third, and fifth, the last two being intervals of the root. There are four types of triads: major, minor, diminished, and augmented. A major triad consists of a root, major third, and perfect fifth. A minor triad consists of a root, minor third, and perfect fifth. A diminished triad consists of a root, minor third, and diminished fifth. An augmented triad consists of a root, major third, and augmented fifth.

There are four types of triads:
* A '''major triad''' consists of a root, major third, and perfect fifth.
* A '''minor triad''' consists of a root, minor third, and perfect fifth.
* A '''diminished triad''' consists of a root, minor third, and diminished fifth.
* An '''augmented triad''' consists of a root, major third, and augmented fifth.
Major and minor triads are found more often than the other two types in most forms of music. Diminished and augmented triads tend to give a feeling of tension or dissonance to the music.
