I have only just found this channel and commented on the inversions video a few days ago. That video had quite a profound effect and unlocked something that has been locked away for a long time. Now the same thing happens with modes. I always knew that modes were important for emotional expressiveness, but the traditional ways of teaching this (play the C scale from D to D and it is Dorian) made no sense to me - it just felt and sounded like I was playing the C scale, but just starting on a different note to the root. This truly exceptional demonstration and clear explanation unlocked another door to my understanding. Once again I am in debt to your musicality and clarity of teaching. Thank you so much. Last time I said you were 'one of the best teachers on KZread' - gotta say - I am amending this to 'you are the best.!

Hello again Teacher Nathanael. My questions are as follow:1) When playing in any mode -let say C-Dorian-,in the left hand will it be always recommended to use the tonic only over any chords in the right hand? 2)If no,when to change and how to do the changes? (For example,as we do in C Major for 4 magic chords)

Jason, a natural musician.

I certainly adore your lessons. If I understood modes correctly, you can take the white keys and the white-key-chords for all modes, but your tonic changes - D-Minor is tonic for dorian, E minor for phrygian, F major for lydian and so on. I find modes easier to understand if I think about them this way. A lesson explaining typical chords or melodies for the modes using only the white keys would be very interesting as well. Thank you for all your inspiration!

hi Jason thanks for your video - your runs are very fluid - may I ask did you have any rules to help you become fluid ie prepare to pass the thumb by moving it along as the fingers go down, so that it is directly over the note when it comes time to strike the note ? also do you use the "free fall" method [Dr. Marian Lee/Gyorgy Sandor "the 5 basic motions of piano technique"] ie let the hand drop using gravity - : the primary reason I am writing is to ask - I believed that the modes of a scale use only the notes of the original scale - in your first example you say flat the 3rd and the 7th of the original scale for Dorian mode -- which going on the notes of the original scale method what we get is really the Phrygian mode of the B flat major scale ? - also your Mixolydian mode - you say flatten the 7th - using the original scale notes method that is really the Dorian mode of the F major scale --- could you please say what is the method by which you come to find which notes to flatten etc for your modes thank you regards Ian

Thank you for the Modes video Jason, learning a lot from your channel. I have a question, it might not be related but am not sure though. I have seen videos on Cinematic composition orchestral music, and noticed how they compose with so and so keys/chords/scales for the various instruments used, and in one of the videos the chords used where 'D min, F, C, G min and G Major', now, does Modes helps in borrowing chords from other scales, so to create a complete sounding composition? Just curious as to how to they make the overall composition sound meaningful. Hope the question is not confusing.

So basically , relative modes are temporary scale shifts ? For few bars. And since there is no key signature change as the sharps or flats are the same itslf. So , key signature notations (the flats and sharps in the staff start ) are defined only for few scales like major minor etc. baaki all the scales are defined as mode wrt to the parent scale. Ryt ?

The way I find easier to think about it is to play another scale from the same root. So C dorian is just a Bb major that starts from C. Or C Lydian is G major played from C.
