Modes Of The Harmonic Minor Scale

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Scales & Tales with Modes Of The Harmonic Minor Scale. As promised, here's the introductory look at the modes derived from the harmonic minor scale. This interesting/inspiring area of building modal scales is very eye-opening and leads toward discovering new areas of music, music theory, and composition overall - so let's dive in!

This lesson takes the raw elements discussed in the previous two harmonic minor-related lessons, and combines that material to locate and arrange the modal tonalities hiding within this popular and exotic-sounding scale.

As you begin uncovering and listening to these modal flavors, you may recognize a few, while others might have you grabbing a few Q-Tips to clean your ears out afterward. Harmonic minor is considered an exotic scale, so the modal sounds and scales it creates are equally as exotic. Needless to say, there's plenty of dissonance and oddball tonalities floating around in this lesson, so be ready for a number of these unusual things that will pop up in this modal overview lesson.
