Please do not send me group invites.

I know most of it pretty good. I'm not so sharp with my modes anymore, though.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

I used to know my fair share, being a band geek and all back in my junior high years (with the inclusion of specialized tutoring and the works).

Key word there is used, though. It has been many a year since I've in any way used that knowledge, and so all I can currently think of is the basics.

I know the modes pretty well, but I still haven't made the connection: exactly what are they used for?

I Got to Higher Level music in school before I thought nah and just went the performance route.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

First in class four years running, then gave it up in my senior year because I started caring more about English Extension. Still remember enough to compose SATB arrangements and the like, but I've probably forgotten some technical things.

They're scales but more complicated.

They're scales that produce a different kind of tonality when used. Generally, each is associated with a certain musical mood - for example, Phrygian mode is used a lot in music that we Westerners might register as "Middle Eastern", and Dorian mode is used a lot in modal jazz. Each can be expressed as an eight note scale starting on a different sol-fa pitch: in order, they are Ionian (do-do), Dorian (re-re), Phrygian (mi-mi), Lydian (fa-fa), Mixolydian (so-so), Aeolian (la-la) and Locrian (ti-ti, the only one where the tonic triad makes a diminished chord). Dorian, Phrygian and Aeolian sound like harmonic minor scales; Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian sound like major scales with some adjustments in the case of the latter two; Locrian sounds harsh and atonal because Western music doesn't use diminished chords very often.

I love modes. :D

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

I don't know jack, mac.

Could I get a condensed version?

I don't blame you. Jimi Hendrix and The Edge thought the same way.

Lies and slander. Defender sucks. At everything.


I know a bit. Scales and such mostly, and a bit about progressions.

Both my primary school and high school ran a Kodaly program, so it was very heavy on music theory. I studied it all the way through to my senior year and was first in class four years straight during high school.

I consider myself good at it...

Blackness Confirmed. You've got soul.


The Ultimate Opinion.

I play several instruments yet I am still not great with theory. Never really thought to much of it until I started writing music. Now I'm regretting that lost time.
