Uplifting Trance, is a term to describe several different (but very close) music styles, all subgenre of trance music. In general, "Uplifting Trance" is a style of Trance music that is much lighter in tone than other Trance genres (such as Progressive, or Goa). Goa, as an example, tends to rely on melodic arpeggios played in minor scales. This gives Goa a very dark and sinister tone compared to other styles of Trance. Progressive Trance as another example, although mostly played on a major scale, tends to use mostly minor chords and progressions in its style. This gives the music a natural sad and melancholy tone (although not as dark as Goa). Uplifting trance will build on progressive trance by using similar chord progressions as progressive trance, with the difference that it will attempt to rest its progression on a major chord (therefore making it sound "happier") and some uplifting trance will have more major than minor chords. The balance between major and minor chords in a progression will determine how "happy" or "sad" the progression sounds.
