The hexatonic scale is the six-note scale between the pentatonic and the seven-note scales you already know — catchy like a pentatonic, with the flavour of a full scale. Piano lesson with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music. Three ways to make six notes: take a seven-note scale and leave one note out (G major without F♯), add one note to a pentatonic (the minor and major blues scales), or put two triads together that share no note (G major + A minor — the "Sunday scale", a name made popular by pianist Peter Martin). Then play the pairs, in G: G + A minor, A♭ + B♭ minor, G + A (Lydian, no 7), G + F (Mixolydian, no 6), G + F minor and G + A♭ (Phrygian dominant colours), G + E♭ minor (the augmented scale), G + D♭ (a tritone apart — the Petrushka scale), and the minor-home pairs: G minor with A minor, F minor, A♭, F♯ minor and B. Last, the three families: triad pairs, symmetrical scales (whole tone, augmented, Petrushka) and culture scales (the blues scales, and six-note ragas like Marwa, Puriya and Sriranjani). The flavour is in the missing note. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 📹 Everything for Life Bundle ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ▶️ Related lessons & playlists Piano Workout: 2 Chords, All Inversions & Modal Hexatonic Scales ➡️ https://youtu.be/qakASBgKQ9U Piano Improvisation: 3 Ways to Use the Pentatonic Scale ➡️ https://youtu.be/p2JYPEZ7nLU How to Write a Melody on Piano Using the Pentatonic Scales ➡️ https://youtu.be/hE3I3I6bIpk Blues Scale Piano Workout: Major & Minor Blues Scales ➡️ https://youtu.be/p46g4HXjtj0 Whole Tone Scale Exercise ➡️ https://youtu.be/ljflwFHZSQM Subset Scales on Piano: Carnatic Raga Colours From Pentatonics ➡️ https://youtu.be/-ExjS5-fKog Piano Scales (playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9qErCYaKIjOhKDf2j8Q0uH Creative Scale Practice (playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-p0MXCH5MeTmklqTeygKP2 🎓 https://nathanielschool.com 📚 Free tutorials library — search "scales" ➡️ https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Why six notes 06:48 - Three ways to make six 09:58 - The Sunday scale (G + A minor) 11:04 - A♭ + B♭ minor 12:17 - Lydian, Mixolydian and Spanish pairs 15:24 - Augmented and Petrushka pairs 16:58 - Minor-home pairs 19:16 - The three families 19:40 - Symmetrical scales 21:56 - Culture scales 23:08 - Wrap-up 💰 PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 💬 WhatsApp ➡️ +91 77604 56847 ✉️ music@nathanielschool.com #PianoLessons #PianoTutorial #MusicTheory #HexatonicScale
A chord is an unfinished scale. A triad gives you three notes; a scale needs seven. So the four notes you add are up to you — and that is where every scale comes from. In this lesson I build scales the unconventional way: not tone–tone–semitone, not from the modes, but from chords. One chord leaves four notes open to your imagination — D major alone gives you D major, D mixolydian, D lydian, D harmonic major, and it is also the dominant of G harmonic minor and G melodic minor. Two chords narrow it down to one or two notes: D major with G major gives you D major, D mixolydian, or G harmonic major if you make G the tonic; D major with G minor gives you the harmonic minors, melodic minors and harmonic majors; D major with B♭ major fits only one scale, and it is a beautiful one. Three chords and the scale is decided — D, G and B minor live in D major and in G major at the same time, and the functions simply swap. That is how chord charts work. You read chords and you interpret scales. You are not locked to a key signature — you let the chord, or the cadence, or the trio, dictate the scale. ✏️ Correction (05:45): I call the G minor triad “the fifth, or the dominant, of D Phrygian”. G is the FOURTH degree of D Phrygian (D E♭ F G A B♭ C) — the fifth is A — so G minor is the subdominant, the iv, of that scale. The very next sentence has it right: start from the chord and choose tonic, dominant or subdominant.

Learn how to harmonize any Melakarta raga on piano with Jason Zac of Nathaniel School of Music — turn 72 ragas into playable chords. 🌐 The app in this video — Melakarta Sphere, all 72 ragas in 3D, free, no signup: https://melakarta.nathanielschool.com Ever wondered how to harmonize a raga on piano? This lesson shows how the 72 Melakarta ragas are built and how to turn each one into playable chords. We walk through the logic behind the system: Sa and Pa stay fixed, the perfect fifth is always kept, and you choose from three Re, three Ga, two Ma — Shuddha Madhyama (the perfect fourth) and Prati Madhyama (the augmented/sharp fourth) — three Dha and three Ni. That simple maths gives every heptatonic scale under the sun. You'll see the twelve chakras (Indu, Netra, Agni, Veda, Bana, Rutu, Rishi, Vasu, Brahma, Disi, Rudra, Aditya) and hear how ragas map to Western modes: Kharaharapriya against Dorian and the Kafi thaat, Hanumatodi leaning Phrygian, and Mayamalavagowla (the 15th Melakarta), also called the double harmonic major. We also touch Harikambhoji (Mixolydian) and Charukesi (Mixolydian flat 6), then harmonize each raga into triads and seventh chords, including cluster and augmented shapes. This is for pianists who only know major and minor, and for Carnatic musicians curious about Western harmony. Play along, pick a raga, build its chords, and tell us your favourite in the comments. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) - https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🏡 Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube ============================= ▶️ Related Videos & Playlists 📂 Indian Music Theory - Carnatic Ragas - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-EsBVRojlfDQ078y6R438k 📚 Indian Classical Music - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-uvkwcbt1C4RbIJ8t1n3vm 🗂️ The Major Scale Understood with ALL Intervals - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT-E6rHuGKoYQk_8-jOw3_Bh 📋 Minor Scales - Theory, Exercises & Compositions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_8KkjOUBofqzyhbgGkROE- 🎶 Cadences & Chord Progressions - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI ============================= 🎓 Learn Music With Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac: https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) categorised by skill level, topic & genre all in one place: https://free-music-lessons.nathanielschool.com ⏳ Chapter markers 00:00 - What Does It Mean to Harmonize a Scale? 🎹 00:33 - The Melakarta Concept in One Idea 00:44 - Why Sa and Pa Stay Fixed 00:56 - Augmented Fourth vs Diminished Fifth 01:09 - Keeping the Perfect Fifth 01:33 - What Harmonize Really Means 🎵 01:40 - Harmonizing for Collaboration 02:12 - Scaling from Triads to Seventh Chords 02:50 - Kharaharapriya ≈ Dorian & Kafi Thaat 03:03 - Melakarta as Heptatonic Thaats 03:52 - The Melakarta Sphere Mode 🌐 04:11 - Selecting Hanumatodi 04:27 - Janya Ragas Explained 04:37 - Playing the Scale with Tanpura 05:01 - Arohana, Avarohana & Both 05:15 - Swing Feature for Western Players 05:28 - Hanumatodi Sounds Phrygian 05:57 - Reading the Interval Labels 07:07 - Brain Mode: The Mind Map 07:46 - The Chakra Navigator 07:58 - Twelve Chakras Named 08:11 - Grid & Mandala Modes 08:36 - Indu Chakra: Kanakangi 09:52 - Building Re from C 10:39 - Building Ga: Diminished to Major Third 11:25 - Netra Chakra: Very Phrygian 11:37 - Agni Chakra: Middle Eastern Colour 11:46 - Veda Chakra: All Things Minor 13:02 - Mayamalavagowla = Double Harmonic Major 13:26 - Bana Chakra: Where the Major Lives 13:37 - Harikambhoji (Mixolydian) & Charukesi 13:43 - Charukesi: Mixolydian Flat 6 🎶 14:03 - Rutu Chakra 14:12 - The Prati Madhyama Hemisphere 14:38 - Rishi to Aditya Chakras 15:30 - Listen Mode: Sing a Raga 16:46 - Drills Mode for Swaras 16:54 - Stage Mode: Kritis & Sections 17:15 - Adjusting Tempo & Instruments 18:02 - Western Mode: Visualize the Scale 18:44 - Chords for Any Raga 🎹 20:05 - Inversions & Chord Colors 20:21 - Function: Tonic, Subdominant, Dominant 20:32 - Raga Fit & Janya Chord Options 22:08 - Tanpura, Talas & Practice Setup 23:30 - Wrapping Up: Harmonize Any Raga 💰 Donate on PayPal: https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 👨👩👧👦 Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +917760456847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes: music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music: https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #MelakartaRagas #CarnaticMusic #PianoHarmony
Learn correct fingering for piano triads and inversions to play chord progressions smoothly. The biggest mistake piano players make is thinking about fingering for the current chord only. Instead, you should consider at least two chords together. This lesson teaches you to prepare your fingering based on what comes next, making transitions smooth and effortless. Learn why ring finger should be dedicated to black notes in the upper register, how to position your thumb on black keys without feeling trapped, and why index finger at the edge gives you more control. Practical examples include D major, G major, A minor, Eb major and more, plus left hand root positioning for any chord progression. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Performance 00:33 - The Correct Fingering for playing a Triad 00:54 - Question often asked by Music Students 01:22 - Guitars and Chord Shapes 01:51 - Similar Chord Shapes 02:49 - The Importance of the Root Position? 03:16 - What we will learn? 04:35 - D Major & its inversions 05:02 - Root Position, Ist and 2nd Inversion 05:43 - 2 note, 3 note & 4 note chords 06:15 - Why Chord Inversions? 06:35 - Proper Voice Leading 07:21 - Shifting to the next chord 08:38 - Fingering Considerations 09:37 - Making the best use of the 5 Fingers 10:16 - Planning for the next chord 11:42 - Shifting from D Major to other Triads 12:47 - What should the Left Hand play? 13:26 - Starting from the Ist Inversion 13:50 - The Challenge of the Thumb 15:06 - Using the Index Finger 15:48 - Index vs Thumb 16:38 - 2nd Inversion of D Major 16:52 - The Ring Finger 20:39 - Chord Randomizer 21:24 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoFingering #ChordInversions #PianoTriads
Practice all 7 modes of the major scale with right hand exercises and left hand accompaniment. In this lesson, you learn to practice all seven modes of the major scale by staying on one root and shaping each mode with both close and spread right hand positions. The right hand works on expansion, compression, finger control and clear interval awareness while the left hand builds strength through scale movement and fifth chords. The tritone for each mode is explained so you understand how harmony shifts across Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. You will also learn the key notes that define every mode and how to highlight them while ascending and descending. By the end of the lesson, you will have seven complete exercises to practice and a strong understanding of modal theory in a practical, musical way. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Demonstration 00:35 - Scales & Modes Exercise 00:51 - The 7 Modes of the Major 01:11 - One Key and Many Modes 01:56 - The Skill levels for this Lesson 02:40 - Close & Spread Scalar Motion 03:13 - Techniques for Pianists to work on 03:45 - What we will learn? 04:40 - The Ionian or Major 06:07 - LH playing the Pulse 06:36 - G Major Scale in the Left Hand 07:22 - Ascending & Descending 07:44 - 5th Chords in the Bass 08:13 - LH with Minims 09:18 - The Dorian Mode 09:40 - With respect to Minor & Major - Raising & Lowering 09:56 - The Unique notes of the Dorian 11:00 - Climbing the Left Hand 11:19 - Perfect Fifths & the Tritone 12:27 - The 3rd Degree - Phrygian 13:16 - Adjusting to 1-2b-4-5-7b 14:05 - Fifth chords 14:53 - The Lydian 16:33 - Mixolydian 17:49 - Aeolian (6th degree) - Natural Minor 18:49 - Aeolian with Fifths in the LH 19:33 - The Locrian 20:38 - Climbing the Locrian Ladder ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoModes #FingerExercises #PianoScales
Learn all 21 modes of the Major, Melodic Minor and Harmonic Minor scales — how they're built, how they sound, and the chords that bring out each mood. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches all 21 modes across the Major, Melodic Minor (Jazz) and Harmonic Minor scales, studying how each mode is built, how it sounds, and which chords bring out its character. You'll cover the 7 modes of the major scale (Ionian to Locrian), the 7 modes of the melodic minor (jazz) scale, and the 7 modes of the harmonic minor scale, plus how to harmonise each mode with matching chords. Practise these ideas across different keys like G and F, and discover the purpose behind every mode — from bright Lydian to exotic Phrygian Dominant. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 - Introduction 01:39 - Modes of Major Sale 02:29 - How to look at Modes 03:42 - Major Scale - G Ionian (1st degree) 03:59 - Major Scale - A Dorian (2nd degree) 06:29 - Major Scale - B Phrygian (3rd degree) 07:35 - Major Scale - C Lydian (4th degree) 08:29 - Major Scale - D Mixolydian (5th degree) 09:54 - Major Scale - E Aeolian (6th degree) 10:30 - Major Scale - F♯ Locrian (7th degree) 11:20 - G Melodic Minor (1st Degree) 12:23 - Melodic Minor - A Dorian ♭2 (2nd Degree) 13:17 - Melodic Minor - Bb Lydian Augmented (3rd Degree) 15:19 - Melodic Minor - C Lydian Dominant (4th Degree) 17:31 - Melodic Minor - D Mixolydian ♭6 (5th Degree) 18:08 - Melodic Minor - E Locian (♮2) (6th Degree) 18:54 - Melodic Minor - F♯ Altered Dominant (7th Degree) Melodic Minor - F♯ Altered Dominant (7th Degree) 20:38 - G Harmonic Minor (1st Degree) 21:20 - A Locrian (♮6) 21:41 - B♭ Ionian (♯5) 22:11 - C Dorian (♯4) 22:58 - D Phrygian Dominant 24:00 - E♭ Lydian (♯2) 24:20 - F♯ Super Locrian (𝄫7) 25:03 - Conclusion ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #ModesExplained #MelodicMinor #HarmonicMinor

Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explores all the possible ways to harmonize a single note (G) in this music theory and songwriting tutorial. You'll work through diatonic chords, chromatic triads, seventh chords and extensions (jazz tensions), then learn to apply the same principle to any key — so you can create fresh chords for any melody like never before. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #Harmonization #MusicTheory #PianoChords
Modes finally click when you see them from two perspectives — this lesson teaches both, from the same root and the same key signature. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how to build modes two ways: starting from the same key/root, and from the same key signature, so you hear each mode's unique identity. You'll cover interval theory and scales, all seven modes, harmonising the modes, building them from a key signature, and using modes with cadences for songwriting. It's a clear, practical path to actually using modes in your music on the piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #Modes #MusicTheory #Songwriting
You don't have to learn a mode before you can use it — in this lesson you'll experience the sound of the modes on the piano using just a single major or minor chord plus intervals and triads. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shows how one C major chord lives inside many scales, and how to bring out a "modal" sound using diatonic thirds and triads. You'll add exotic flavour with the Phrygian Dominant scale, explore modal textures and the Dorian mode over a minor chord, and even create a "theatric" sound using modal thirds. The big idea: start with one or two chords and derive the mode or scale from there — a faster, more musical way into modal playing and modal interchange. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎼 Beautiful Minor Chord Progressions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT80WvDyjWk5dHdOFiO-_zIn 🎵 Cadences, Circle of Fifths & Secondary Dominants (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT_sKjWd1c7K_S55cZ15jAKI 🎹 Music Theory ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Performance 00:45 Introduction 01:07 What Constitutes a "Modal" Sound? 07:35 Using Diatonic Thirds to Develop a Modal Sound 11:27 Using Diatonic Triads to Develop a Modal Sound 12:03 What is an "Exotic" Flavour? 13:49 Using the Phrygian Dominant Scale 15:20 Modal Textures for the Minor Chord 15:45 Exploring the Dorian Scale/Mode 20:01 A "Theatric" Sound Using Modal Thirds 22:11 Revision 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 +91 77604 56847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #PianoModes #ModalHarmony #MusicTheory
