→Harmonic Theory: Tonality and the I Chord
== Harmonic Theory: Tonality and the I Chord ==
In any given key, the chord with the same root note as the first note in the scale is the ''I chord '' (that's roman numeral 1, not "Iy"). This chord grounds the tonality of the piece, and often occurs as the first and/or last chord in the song and/or smaller passages.
In the key of C Major, the C Major chord is the I chord.
