If you remember from previous entries, the Bb major scale consists of the Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, and A notes. This scale will relate directly to the simple triads (that is, three-note chords made of the root, major/minor third, and diminished/perfect fifth notes) in the key of Bb major (please refer to this website or elsewhere for more information):
I. Bb major (made of the Bb, D, and F notes);
ii. C minor (C, Eb, and G notes);
iii. D minor (D, F, and A notes);
IV. Eb major (Eb, G, and Bb notes);
V. F major (F, A, and C notes);
vi. G minor (G, Bb, and D notes); and
vii(b5). A diminished (A, C, and Eb notes).
