Starting on the 4th scale degree, the lydian mode's naturally occurring half steps are between the 4th & 5th and 7th & 8th scale degrees. Think of this mode as a natural minor scale with a flatted 2nd. The phrygian mode begins on the 3rd scale degree of the major scale, and the naturally occurring half steps are between the 1st & 2nd and 5th & 6th scale degrees. For ear training purposes, think of this mode as a natural minor scale with a raised 6th. The naturally occuring half steps are between the 2nd & 3rd and 6th & 7th scale degrees. The dorian mode starts on the second scale degree of the major scale, which changes the pattern to W H W W W H W. The naturally occuring half steps of this mode are between the 3rd & 4th and 7th & 8th scale degrees. It has the same W W H W W W H (whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half) pattern. Starting on the 1st scale degree, this mode is the same as a major scale. Notice that the images below are all in the key of C Major therefore, all of the naturally occurring half steps are between E & F and B & C. In this tutorial, we will discuss modes and how that pattern changes with the modes.Įach mode starts on a different scale degree of the major scale.
In the Key Signatures tutorial, I mentioned the whole and half step pattern of a major scale and how that relates to key signature changes.
