If you don't know the difference between diminished and augmented, you have no business teaching music to kids.

Instead of telling the solution who asked you to judge others..Are you such a pull - that you are some - big - of the world ?

Who the - are you ? If you cannot answer...- off mind your own business...Nobody asked to you to respond...

augmented and diminished chord definitions
by: Anonymous

A diminished triad chord is a triad consisting of a minor third and a diminished fifth above the root — if built on C, a diminished chord would have a C, an E♭ and a G♭. It resembles a minor triad with a lowered(flatted) fifth.

An augmented chord is the triad consisting of a major third and augmented fifth above the root — if the root is C, the augmented chord consists of the notes C, E and G♯.

Break it down. :)
