Chromatic — 12 tones — all ½ steps — It takes forever. Major — 7 tones — Happy — You know, do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do Pentatonic — 5 tones — Hollywood Chinese music (Mulan) Whole Tone — 6 tones — no ½ steps — mysterious (old Twilight Zone) Blues — 6 tones — makes you want to get funky Minor — 7 tones — Sad & Dark Natural — no altered pitches Harmonic — ½ step on top — piano proficiency — Hollywood snake charmer (Aladdin) Melodic — ascent differs from descent (6 & 7 change) Octatonic — 8 tones — alternates ½ and whole steps, or vice versa Diminished — same as Octatonic Scale Ear Training — set to the most common scales |
(If necessary, review Modes made Easy.) Lydian — sounds like major until 4 Ionian — same as major Mixolydian — sounds like major until 7 — mixes major and V7 Dorian — sounds like natural minor until 6 — has a happy middle like Dory from Finding Nemo Aeolian — same as natural minor Phrygian — begins with a ½ step (That's frigid!) Locrian — 1 to 2 is a ½ step — 1 to 5 is a d5 (That's loco!) Scale Ear Training — set to modes |
