Lesson 5

Diatonic Modes

• During my music theory class out lecture spoke to us about the different types of modes.
• In music, there are many types of modes. They are Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian. 
• Each mode has a specific amount of numbers that they use when moving keys. Ionian uses zero movements, Dorian uses 2, Phrygian uses  3, Lydian uses 4, Mixolydian uses  6, aeolian uses 7, and Locrian uses 7 movements when being put into music.
• Each mode a broken into two groups. Major and minor. The major modes are  Ionian, Lydian, and Mixolydian. Minor modes are Dorian, Phrygian, Aeolian, and Locrian.

• In this video, you will learn how to identify the modes and how you can learn to use them.
• You will also learn what happens when applying the modes.

• Listening to this video you can hear the different modes and see the notes that change.
• You can also specify which mode is major or minor by listening to it.

• This is my video of playing all of the modes. The key is G Major.
