Submit your modal piece! (Patreon)

Note: Attached in this post is a fixed PDF of the slideshow from yesterday's class (there were a few incorrect symbols, and I've also updated the old post)

Last night, we explored how to bend the Ionian scale into Mixolydian and Lydian. If you missed the lesson, here's a replay: https://youtube.com/live/-cfXGmelPCg?feature=share

This week's goal is to write a short piece that uses 9 notes: the seven notes of major, plus a raised fourth, and a lowered seventh. If you're feeling up to the challenge, you can submit a link to your song via dropbox or google drive, and include a little info too, like the following:

My piece is in G major, and borrows from G mixolydian and G Lydian by using the bVII chord and the II chord. The progression goes like this:

G - Gmaj7 - Em - C - Am - F - G - G

A - C - G - G - A - C - D - D 

Here's the link!

I'll be "grading" three random submissions each week. If you just want to submit without having yours chosen, just say the word! And if you'd like to collaborate with others, you can join the Signals Music Discord where several other students have congregated: https://discord.gg/FpPj42yv
