Figuring out the modes

Recommended Posts

OK, correct me if I'm wrong 🤣 HaHa! After 50 years I'm finally learning the modes! I discovered (and I don't even know how to explain this!) an easy way to find all the modes. 
Say you want to learn all the modes by starting on the same note vs a key. In other words, play all modes starting on the same note.

As I was concentrating on this I realized there must be an easy way to find all 7 modes starting from any note.
Is this true? ...🤔
Count down 2 whole steps from the note you want to play all modes through. For example let's start all the modes on the note C. By counting down 2 whole steps from C you land on Ab. Use the Ab major scale to figure out all modes starting on C. 😁
Key of C = Ioanian 
Key of Bb = C Dorian 
Key Ab = C Phrydgian 
Key of G = C Lydian 
Key of F = C Mixolydian 
Key of Eb = C Aolian 
Key of C# = C Locrian
I\'m interested in any comments anyone wants to post! Happy 😊 Piano 🎹 Playing!
