Why learn them at all?<\/p>\n<p>Songwriters and producers can always benefit from music theory; when you know the rules, or at least the basics, it can help you get out of ruts when instinct and creativity isn&#8217;t enough. It&#8217;s also helpful in communicating ideas with trained musicians who respond to the language of music.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding even just a little bit about music modes can help you bye a more knowledgable person in the room.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is a Music Mode?<\/h2>\n<p>In short, modes are just different <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/diatonic-vs-chromatic\/\">scales<\/a>, each with their own sonic &#8220;flavor.&#8221; They were the early building blocks of Western music, and certain modes frequently appeared in church, or sacred, music.<\/p>\n<p>What a mode does is simply rearrange the notes of the major scale by starting on a different root. For example, using the key of C major (C &#8211; D &#8211; E &#8211; F &#8211; G &#8211; A &#8211; B &#8211; C) as our base, what would happen if you kept all of the same notes but started on D instead of C?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d get this arrangement of pitches\u2014D &#8211; E &#8211; F &#8211; G &#8211; A &#8211; B &#8211; C &#8211; D\u2014which is the second mode of the major scale in the key of C. If you started on E you&#8217;d get the third mode, and so on.<\/p>\n<h2>How Are Modes Constructed?<\/h2>\n<p>As noted above, music modes take the same notes from their &#8220;parent&#8221; major scale and play them in a different order. So if you took the notes from C major (all naturals) and started on A, you&#8217;d be playing the sixth mode of the major scale\u2014which, conveniently, happens to be the relative minor scale as well!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll continue with a simple breakdown of each mode, staying in C major for the sake of ease.<\/p>\n<h3>Ionian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zNDOVQ4H6l4\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Scales: The Major Scale\" title=\"Play video &quot;Scales: The Major Scale&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zNDOVQ4H6l4<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zNDOVQ4H6l4\" title=\"Scales: The Major Scale\">Scales: The Major Scale (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zNDOVQ4H6l4)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ionian is the first mode and just another way to identify the major scale. C major contains all natural notes\u2014all white keys on the piano. It&#8217;s the easiest way to play through modes when you&#8217;re first getting familiar with them.<\/p>\n<h3>Dorian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n_TuN-EIg3w\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"The Dorian Mode\" title=\"Play video &quot;The Dorian Mode&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n_TuN-EIg3w<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n_TuN-EIg3w\" title=\"The Dorian Mode\">The Dorian Mode (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n_TuN-EIg3w)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dorian is the second mode of the major scale. It starts and ends with D in the key of C major, using all of the same pitches. Dorian has a minor quality to it with a natural sixth and flat seventh. These characteristics give Dorian its distinct sound, which you&#8217;ll find to be the case with every mode.<\/p>\n<h3>Phrygian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MaZLwBej49M\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"The Phrygian Mode\" title=\"Play video &quot;The Phrygian Mode&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MaZLwBej49M<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MaZLwBej49M\" title=\"The Phrygian Mode\">The Phrygian Mode (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MaZLwBej49M)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Phrygian is the third mode starting on E. It, too, is a minor scale with flat second, sixth, and seventh <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/scale-degrees-explained\/\">scale degrees<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Lydian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q4TKsBycJ6o\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"The Lydian Mode\" title=\"Play video &quot;The Lydian Mode&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q4TKsBycJ6o<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q4TKsBycJ6o\" title=\"The Lydian Mode\">The Lydian Mode (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q4TKsBycJ6o)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Moving along, we find our fourth mode of the major scale beginning on F as the root. Lydian is a major sounding scale with a raised fourth.<\/p>\n<h3>Mixolydian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dKVMZ3gd-w\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"The Mixolydian Mode\" title=\"Play video &quot;The Mixolydian Mode&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dKVMZ3gd-w<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dKVMZ3gd-w\" title=\"The Mixolydian Mode\">The Mixolydian Mode (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8dKVMZ3gd-w)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next, we have the Mixolydian mode. This is the fifth mode and a major scale itself, taking on a slight &#8220;bluesy&#8221; quality thanks to the flat seventh.<\/p>\n<h3>Aeolian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JYCdFHmvVTA\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"The Aeolian Mode (and the tierce de picardie!)\" title=\"Play video &quot;The Aeolian Mode (and the tierce de picardie!)&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JYCdFHmvVTA<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JYCdFHmvVTA\" title=\"The Aeolian Mode (and the tierce de picardie!)\">The Aeolian Mode (and the tierce de picardie!) (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JYCdFHmvVTA)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Aeolian is our sixth mode. Another name for it is the &#8220;natural minor,&#8221; because the sixth scale degree in a major key is the relative minor (and the third scale degree of a minor key is its relative major). Next to Ionian, Aeolian is extremely common in all forms of music.<\/p>\n<h3>Locrian<\/h3>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJBAASlipMQ\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"The Locrian Mode\" title=\"Play video &quot;The Locrian Mode&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJBAASlipMQ<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJBAASlipMQ\" title=\"The Locrian Mode\">The Locrian Mode (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJBAASlipMQ)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Finally, we have perhaps the most divisive mode: Locrian. It&#8217;s the least commonly used mode since it&#8217;s a minor scale with four flat scale degrees: the second, fifth, sixth, and seventh. In a word, it sounds &#8220;evil,&#8221; but just because it&#8217;s uncommon doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not worth trying yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Apply Music Modes in the Studio<\/h2>\n<p>Music modes are a wonderful way to break away from the stale major and natural minor flavors we&#8217;re all accustomed to. Each mode has its own sound palette; generally speaking, music modes with more flat scale degrees are darker and more melancholic, while those with more raised degrees are a bit more optimistic sounding.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no right or wrong way to apply music modes to whatever project you&#8217;re working on. Ultimately it&#8217;s up to you when and where to play a particular mode to make a song more interesting than straight Ionian or Aeolian. The first thing to do is to get familiar with each music modes&#8217;s distinct sound, so you can know which colors would fit the given project!<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you a guitar player looking to expand your scale knowledge?
