Description
A clean and simple reference sheet covering all 12 major chord inversions: root position, first inversion, and second inversion. Each chord is notated clearly, with note names inside the noteheads to support visual learning and recognition.
This resource follows the Circle of Fifths layout, helping students see how chord shapes connect to key signatures and scale relationships. It’s ideal for building a deeper understanding of how chords function across contemporary, pop, jazz, and classical styles.
What’s Included:
- All 12 major chords, shown in:
- Root Position
- 1st Inversion
- 2nd Inversion
- Root Position
- Chords organised by the Circle of Fifths to reinforce scale/key relationships
- Each note labeled with note names for clarity and easier reading
- Slash chord notation included (e.g., C/E, C/G) to introduce lead sheet symbols and modern chord reading
- Clean, minimalist design that’s easy to read and print
- Chords are fully notated on the staff, so students learn how they appear in real sheet music
