Which diatonic triad is diminished in major keys?
In a major key, the triad built on the 7th scale degree is diminished. Using C major as an example, the triad on the 7th is B D F. B to D is a minor 3rd, as is D to F, so B to F is a diminished 5th.
What is the quality of triad six in a major key?
If this question is asking about the quality of the chord built on the 6th scale degree in a major scale, then the answer is minor.
What is the leading tone in an A major scale?
The leading tone in a key is one half-step below the tonic. In the key of A major, the leading tone is G-sharp.
Is eye of the tiger in minor or major key?
'Eye of the Tiger' was written in the key of C minor, so it's in a minor key.
How many major triads occur in a major key?
The 4th through sixth (or Subdominant through Submediant) are major, which means 2. The roman numerals are iv and VI.
What are the notes of the dominant triad of a flat major?
The dominant is the 5th, which in the key of A-flat major is E-flat. Then an E-flat major triad contains the notes E-flat, G, and B-flat.
Is the dominant triad always major?
Dominant triads, which are built on the fifth (or dominant) note of the scale, are (almost) always major - even when written in a minor key. This is because the middle note (which is the 7th note of the scale - known as the leading note) is always raised by a chromatic semitone.For example:The C major dominant triad is composed of the notes G, B, and D.The a minor dominant triad is composed of the notes E, G#, and B. Although there are no accidentals in the key signature of this scale, the 7th note is raised from G-natural to G# in order to make it a harmonic scale.That's not to say that minor dominant triads don't exist, because they do. They're just rare. You might be able to find a minor dominant triad in a situation where the dominant triad is played in conjunction with a descending melodic line (i.e. where the 6th and 7th notes of the scale aren't raised).
How is it that a song can use a major chord on the supertonic degree so that I have G F D and C major chords in the same song?
The major II chord (whose root is the supertonic) is actually a temporary modulation to the key of the Dominant, and is called a secondary dominant. Given your chords I'm assuming we are in C Major, which already has the major I, IV and V triads (the chords C, F and G). The two, three and six chords are normally all minor (IIm, IIIm and VIm or in C Major: Dm, Em and Am). In C Major, the minor two triad (IIm in jazz / ii in classical) consists of the notes D, F and A, but here the D major triad has an F# instead of the F natural as it's third. One of the things that happened to music when harmony became part of it, about five centuries ago, was the ability to change keys. The Baroque and Classical mentality was to present a theme in the home key and then at some point modulate to the dominant and subdominant or to the relative minor or tonic minor and then eventually modulate back to the home key. Over time, the idea of modulating to a different key has been modified to just "borrowing" a chord or two from another key. That's basically what's happening when you use a Major II chord. The raised F to F# in C Major is actually the proper Leading Tone of the key of G Major (it's "ti" note). If we were in the key of G major, that D triad (the V triad) would be the notes D, F# and A - the dominant chord. Notice also that G is the dominant of C major. So the D major triad in the key of C Major is the dominant of the dominant. We have temporarily modulated to the key of G major and used its dominant chord (the D major triad), which is usually followed by the G chord, making a proper V-I cadence in the key of G Major. The G chord is also the V chord in C Major and becomes the "pivot chord" to get back into the key of C Major. Because the modulation is so temporary, we don't usually perceive that we have gone to another key (even though we sort of did). The II Maj. Triad is frequently used in this manner as a secondary dominant and is notated as the V/V chord (read as "the five of five" chord - meaning the dominant chord of the dominant chord). That same II Major chord can also be "borrowed" out of a key's relative minor. If we go to the relative minor of C, we end up in A minor, which has a minor V chord in the natural minor - in this case the D minor triad. However, if we use the harmonic version of the scale this gives us a Major V triad (the notes D, F# and A). When a II major triad goes to the V chord it is being used as a secondary dominant. When it goes to a different chord it has been borrowed from another key, but in both cases it is notated as if it was a secondary dominant as in: I - VIm - V/V - V - I. As far as that goes, any chord in the scale can be approached by it's own secondary dominant: In C Major the A major triad would be the V/VI chord making a progression like: C - F - C - Em - E - Am - G - C possible, where E major is the secondary dominant of the Am (VIm) chord.

What do you do if a tonic triad has two key signatures?
It depends what key is this tonic triad in.
What is dominant and subdominant?
Dominant and sub-dominant refers to notes of a scale. The dominant is the fifth note (represented with a roman numeral, V) of a scale while the sub-dominant is the fourth (IV) note of that scale. For example, in scale of C major, the dominant is G and the sub-dominant is F.The terms dominant ans sub-dominant can also refer to chords, scales or keys. A dominant chord is one that is built on a dominant note. Musically, the dominant chord is considered to be unstable and must be resolved. Therefore, a dominant chord can be used to build tension in a chord progression.Dominant keys refer to the relationship between notes. For instance, key of G is the dominant key relative to C. Music that changes key often shifts between a tonic and its dominant.
What is the difference between major and minor cord?
Major and Minor chords are determined by the third of the chord making them sound different. Major chords have a more happy, open sound and minor chords have a "sad" sound. For example: In the key of C, A C Major triad would be the notes C, E, G and C minor triad would be C, E flat, G. (the third in the minor triad goes down a half-step from the third in the major triad) E---> E flat.
