Ionian is just another, fancier way to name the standard major scale. And Aeolian is another way to refer to the natural minor of that scale.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is what modes are in a nutshell. If you\u2019re lost, consider reviewing scale and chord concepts with these lessons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/piano-scales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Piano Scales: Types of Scales and How to Apply Them<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/all-piano-chords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Play ALL Piano Chords<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ways-to-understand-modes\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><strong>Ways to Understand Modes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that modes can be understood in a number of ways, depending on what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-parent-scale-method\" style=\"font-size:28px\">The Parent Scale Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first section, we described modes as different ways (\u201cmodes\u201d!) to play a scale. Because there are seven notes in the C major scale, there are seven ways (\u201cmodes\u201d!) to play that scale because we can start and end on any of those notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing this, say you are given this mode: D Mixolydian. How do we play this mode?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the name of this mode is \u201cD\u201d Mixolydian, we know that we\u2019ll start and end the sequence on D. Easy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about \u201cMixolydian\u201d? Scroll back to the table in the previous section and count: you\u2019ll see that Mixolydian is the fifth mode. This means we should treat D as the fifth note of a <em>parent scale. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In which scale is D the fifth note? If you answered G major, that\u2019s correct! This means we\u2019ll use G major\u2019s key signature in our D-to-D sequence. If you did this all correctly, you\u2019ll land on this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>D Mixolydian Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">D-E-F#-G-A-B-C-D<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18115829\/d-mixolydian-keyboard-1024x445.png\" alt=\"D Mixolydian mode (D to D with F#) higlighted in red on a keyboard with an arrow pointing to G indicating parent scale.\" class=\"wp-image-16205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18115829\/d-mixolydian-keyboard-1024x445.png 1024w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18115829\/d-mixolydian-keyboard-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18115829\/d-mixolydian-keyboard-768x334.png 768w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18115829\/d-mixolydian-keyboard-1536x667.png 1536w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18115829\/d-mixolydian-keyboard.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-altered-scale-method\" style=\"font-size:28px\">The Altered Scale Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The parent scale method is easy to understand, but it&#8217;s less useful when playing music in real-time. If you&#8217;re faced with \u201cE-flat Lydian\u201d or \u201cC Locrian,\u201d it can be time-consuming to calculate what notes to play using the parent scale method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some musicians believe you should understand modes as alterations made to a major scale. For example, see \u201cC Mixolydian\u201d as \u201chow do we alter the degrees of the C major scale\u201d rather than \u201cwhat is C Mixolydian\u2019s parent scale\u2019s key signature.\u201d This method keeps you mentally situated on \u201cC\u201d as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/piano-terms\/#tonal-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tonal center<\/a> or first note of the sequence, which is where you want to be when improvising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mode<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Alterations to Scale<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C Ionian<\/td><td>1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1<br>No alterations.

That\u2019s largely up to you. If you\u2019re already super familiar with keys and key signatures (looking at you, classical pianists!), understanding modes using the parent scale method may be quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re coming at scales fresh, or don\u2019t mind memorizing, the altered scale method may be right for you. Jazz musicians may find this method more helpful in the context of improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-use-modes-the-chord-scale-relationship\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><strong>How to USE Modes (The Chord-Scale Relationship)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are modes used for, anyway? Why go through the trouble of memorizing all these funny words and formulas?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, modes can be useful when improvising over chords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the <strong>chord-scale relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"psst-scales-are-actually-chords\" style=\"font-size:28px\">Psst\u2026Scales are actually chords!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scales and chords are actually kind of the same thing! Take the C major triad, for example: C-E-G. Now, stack another third to get the Cmaj7 chord: C-E-G-B.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, stack another third, and another third\u2026 And soon, you\u2019ve stacked all the notes of C major into one chord:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Cmaj13 = C-E-G-B-D-F-A<\/strong> \u2190 All the notes of the C major scale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, you can safely play any combination of notes from the C major scale over the Cmaj13 chord. And if you see a Cmaj13 on a lead sheet, you can think to yourself, \u201cOh, I can play C major over this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"play-mode-over-chord\" style=\"font-size:28px\">Play THIS Mode Over THAT Chord<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The same concept can be applied to modes. You can play certain modes over certain chords that are similar to them. And this is a handy way to always sound good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example is C7 (C-E-G-Bb). What mode has these notes? If you answered C Mixolydian, you\u2019re correct! C Mixolydian has a flat 7th (Bb) which makes it fit nicely with a C7 chord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18121531\/C-Mixolydian-C7-1024x542.png\" alt=\"Keyboard with C Mixolydian highlighted in red and labelled, with C7 chord notes listed underneath: C E G B flat.\" class=\"wp-image-16207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18121531\/C-Mixolydian-C7-1024x542.png 1024w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18121531\/C-Mixolydian-C7-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18121531\/C-Mixolydian-C7-768x407.png 768w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18121531\/C-Mixolydian-C7-1536x814.png 1536w, https:\/\/pianote-blog.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/18121531\/C-Mixolydian-C7.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some modes that go well with certain chords.

Each mode has a distinct flavor and songwriters take advantage of this to convey unique atmospheres with their songs.

Meanwhile, Phrygian and Dorian are \u201cdarker.\u201d Locrian is a bit of an odd mode; thanks to its association with diminished chords, it sounds rather sinister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modes can be found all over pop music.
