1 Hour Modal Ear Training - Learn to Hear the Musical Modes

This modal ear training will help you learn to identify the 7 basic musical modes by ear. In developing your ear, you'll be able to enhance your musical improvisation and overall listening skill. The 7 basic modal scales are:
Ionian (I) - [Bright, Joyful, Happy]
Dorian (II) - [Neutral, Bittersweet, Smooth]
Phrygian (III) - [Dark, Exotic, Tense]
Lydian (IV) - [Brightest, Dreamy, Mysterious]
Mixolydian (V) - [Bright with Dark Edge, Funky]
Aeolian (VI) - [Dark, Sad, Restlessness]
Locrian (VII) - [Darkest, Unresolved, Discordant]
All modes in this video begin on C to keep things simple. First, you'll become familiar with the sound of each mode and then you will begin to predict what each mode is as you listen.
Listen in your spare time and develop your ability to hear and recognize the difference between the 7 modes.

Just what I needed, thank you!! :D
it has so much potential for variations
it would be nice to have one for each mode with their chords and most common progressions, for example

An excellent video, but the only suggestion would be to place them in their level of brightness, or darkness. By teaching them, and learning them like this, there is a more logical progression. Lydian is the only outlier, having one note sharpened. Then they go from the scale and flatten one more note as you go down. Until all of them are flattened. But you can flatten the first but that would be another scale. But there is some diminished jazz scale which is just an ionian scale with a raised first.
Lydian 4
Ionian 1
Micolydian 5
Dorian 2
Aeolian 6
Phrygian 3
Locrian 7

Hi! I recently started with a Jazz-guitar teacher and he presented me the modes just like that. I agree, it is very clear to understand by alterations. I´m curious about how it would be develop in the improvisation.

*Mixolydian

Very, very useful. Thank you very much indeed. It’s a matter that remained for me theory and not ear.

This is a fantastic refresher tool, thank you! Though when I try to speed up this video to recognize modes at a faster pace, the atmospheric sustained chords in the background become distorted and distracting. Please consider removing these for future videos. Thanks again! Appreciate this channel!

Do you have a download for this and interval training?

[@dillonjames7764]

Genuine question: does learning to identify a mode/scale played isolated, ascending and descending, really help you to identify modes and scales in the context of actual music? I've done some of this sort of ear training and I'm somewhat doubtful of the practicality of it.

[@alexfischer9213]

I agree with that

[@Troy1g]

I think so one example is as a guitar player, If I hear a sharp four in the context of hearing a chord of a song. I will know it is a Lydian mode or simply the four chord, eliminating the One Chord and the Five Chord as to what I am hearing.

[@bess_e2186]

Yes, I am still learning but I find myself humming the songs scale to figure out the mode

[@micheldindaine8403]

I get you but I think that the right order should be :
lydian dorian
ionian aeolian
mixolydan phrygian. (and then locrian)
gives you the 3 majors from bright to dark/ the 3 minors fom bright to dark.

[@mickeylana]

I keep thinking of the soundtrack to Hitchcock's "Psycho," particularly with Locrian 😂
