Modes and How to Hear Them – The Ultimate Musician’s Guide

How to tell apart all seven modes of the major scale by ear, taught in under 40 minutes. This lesson can also be done using only the audio so you can train your ears on the go.

Modes were used as far back as Gregorian Chant, but are used in many different scenarios today, from jazz to video game soundtracks. Knowing how to tell them apart by ear will significantly improve your ability to work out music by ear, especially when it strays outside what we consider “normal” harmony.
