In the key of F write out the chord progressions

Question

In the key of F write out the progressions:

I, vi, ii, V, vi

Answer 1

Now wait a minute! Don't ask for the answers to the questions! You will never become competent that way!

When you play a scale each pitch - A B C .. & so on - has an Arabic numeral. Those are the numbers we use all the time - 1 2 3 ... The name of the scale is tone 1. Once you build triads on the scale pitches, the numbers switch to Roman numerals. Capital numerals are Major chords, lowercase numerals are minor and if there is a little circle after the number, that is a diminished chord. Therefore, if your pattern is I vi ii V vi. Then you will build chords based on pitches 1 6 2 5 6. Simple enough! Keyboards are a great help to figure it out. One more step, you need to know the accidentals for the key you are in. If you were in say the key of G Major, then you would need to sharp every F in your chords.

I'm assuming you are in F Major as you did not specify minor. You also did not say whether you wanted the basic chord progression that's easy to write or a common tone chord progression that makes it easy to play. Each of these requires more answers, so if you need them, just write in again.

Answer 2

F Major, D Minor, G Minor, C Major, D Minor!

Answer 3

In Roman numeral chord notation, the numbers tell us what pitch is the root of each chord, with I being the tonic of the given key--in this case, F--and every number after that going up one note in the scale, i.e., ii is a G chord. Roman numerals written with capital letters indicate major chords, and lower case letters indicate minor chords. So, a I-vi-ii-V-vi progression in the key of F starts with an F major chord, followed by D minor, G minor, C major, and finally D minor. If you would like any more help, feel free to let me know!
