Thank you for this. You made learning Modes so easy here...expecting more Modes lessons from you😊.

[@nahokoyahara611]

"Modes" have been a difficult concept for me to use ever since I started learning jazz. However, thanks to your real performance using modes, I have realized that getting a taste of each mode is essential. I will try improvising with modes immediately!"

[@yukik9623]

Great lesson. The modes always confuse me but this lesson helps me understand them more. Thank you.

[@olivervus3655]

Thank you so much for this! I was trying to find simple ways to find modes and your video helped me a lot! You earned a new sub!

[@sjglaze3]

OMG, I wish you had been my teacher 30 years ago. Your lessons are amazing.

[@edwinjdunn7224]

How marvelous! This is all brand new to me. Thank you so very much for making this beautiful information available!

[@JerryAndJulieMusic]

Very nice video. First time here. I learned something.

[@mpilines]

This is the one I have been waiting for. I will wait for my day off work and dedicate this 20minutes and repeats to it. Do you have a course that digs dip?

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

Yes, visit our site and ask about the Complete Musician Essentials Course. www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com

Any lesson on figuring out chord progressions so fast inside a mode?

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

A good way to do this is look at the mode, think of the chords that fit with the mode. Write them down. Once you know them, you know them for good!

Thank you so much!😀

One quick question.... It's taking me many years to wrap my head around this concept. Will the different modes still be the same notes of whatever major scale that is drawing upon? Let's say this was the g dorian, with the notes still all be coming from the g major scale?

[@sergemoktali7948]

Absolutely not. G Dorian will share the same note as F major.

[@mpilines]

Modes give me the most headache because tutors, authors don’t know how to go elementary on the subject , they choose to start at the top and fail me. I have fail in you always😂

[@contemporaryschoolofpiano]

And that's the thing Mpiyabo, I have no idea why some academics make this sound like rocket science. Modes were never rocket science in their historical development, they were a collection of notes that were sung to project different emotions. These musical emotions have been turned into this academic complex study, that is completely disconnected from its origin. Music is made from human beings, not self-proclaimed theory demigods. I don't even think what I say in this tutorial is elementary. It's just the facts of where modes came from and how the piano design integrates it very neatly. The real rocket scientists are the engineers and technicians that developed the keyboard system, where these beautiful combinations of notes can be easily replicated, not the textbook people who will have us believe it's impossible to do without a doctorate in high art! So in response to your comment, they failed to explain a straight forward concept to you, you didn't fail at all! And we are in gratitude to those who managed to turn this into a Western tuning keyboard system, where we can easily see and explain it! The keyboard is your go-to text book!
