For example, in the key of C major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the C major scale is played from C to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s because C is the first tone in the key.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Now, Pay Attention To This&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Starting and ending the major scale on every other tone of the scale (even the first tone) to its octave produces modal scales. For example, starting and ending the E major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;on F# (playing from F# to F#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Fs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the F# Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is (for all intents and purposes) a modal scale.<\/p>\n<p>So, you can start and end on the second tone, third tone, fourth tone, etc., and you&#8217;ll have a variety of modal scales.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Here Are All The Modal Scales Using The E Major Scale As The Parent Scale&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The E Ionian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the first tone of the E major scale (which is E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,E,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe F# Dorian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the second tone of the E major scale (which is F#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Fs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe G# Phrygian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the third tone of the E major scale (which is G#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,Gs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe A Lydian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,A,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the fourth tone of the E major scale (which is A):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,A,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe B Mixolydian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the fifth tone of the E major scale (which is B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,B,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe C# Aeolian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the sixth tone of the E major scale (which is C#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Cs,Cs&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThe D# Locrian Scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;starting and ending on the seventh tone of the E major scale (which is D#):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,Ds,Ds&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Concept Of The Parent Scale<\/h3>\n<p>All modal scales are derived from major scales and the major scale where a particular modal scale is derived from is known as the parent scale.<\/p>\n<p>Altogether, there are seven modal scales in the key of E major:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>E Ionian Scale<br \/>\nF# Dorian Scale<br \/>\nG# Phrygian Scale<br \/>\nA Lydian Scale<br \/>\nB Mixolydian Scale<br \/>\nC# Aeolian Scale<br \/>\nD# Locrian Scale<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;and every one of them has the E major scale as their parent scale. A closer look at all the seven modal scales, you&#8217;ll see that they&#8217;re basically the notes of the E major scale that are played by starting and ending on other tones of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>So, in the next segment, I&#8217;ll be showing you how to identify the parent scale of any given modal scale in any key.<\/p>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s How To Determine The Parent Scale Of A Modal Scale<\/h2>\n<p>The Ionian scale and the major scale are basically identical.<\/p>\n<p>So, for the C Ionian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;its parent scale is the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nThat said, let&#8217;s look at the parent scales of other modal scales.<\/p>\n<h3>The Parent Scale Of Dorian Scales<\/h3>\n<p>The C Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is basically the Bb major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,C,D,Eb,F,G,A,Bb,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;played from C to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, for every Dorian scale, the parent scale is a whole-step below the first tone. In the case of the C Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the parent scale is a whole-step below C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s Bb:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Bb,,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Here&#8217;s Another Example&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The parent scale of the F# Dorian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,Gs,A,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a whole-step below the first scale tone and a whole-step below F#:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, the E major scale is the parent scale of the F# Dorian scale.<\/p>\n<h3>The Parent Scale Of Phrygian Scales<\/h3>\n<p>The Phrygian scale is derived from the major scale by starting and ending on the third tone of the scale. So, every Phrygian scale should be associated with the third tone of the scale.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that the C Phrygian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,Bb,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is associated with the third tone of the parent scale, we should determine the major key that has C as its third tone.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;In What Key Is C The Third Tone Of The Scale?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>C is the third tone of the scale in the key of Ab major:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;so the Ab major scale is the parent scale of the C Phrygian scale.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if the Ab major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=Ab,Bb,C,Db,Eb,F,G,Ab,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is played from C to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;we&#8217;d have the C Phrygian scale:<\/p>\n<h3>The Parent Scale Of Lydian Scales<\/h3>\n<p>Playing the major scale in such a way that it starts and ends on the fifth tone of the scale produces the Lydian scale. Therefore, all Lydian scales are basically starting on the fourth tone of the parent scale.<\/p>\n<p>For example, starting and ending the C major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;on F (which is the fourth tone):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;produces the F Lydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNow, a closer look at the F Lydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;shows that its parent scale (which is the C major scale):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a fifth above F:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is because from F to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is a fifth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, to all Lydian scales, the parent scale is a fifth above its root.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Think About This&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re asked to play the E Lydian scale (starting from E):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can go up a fifth (to B):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;.and derive the parent scale (which is the B major scale):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,Cs,Ds,E,Fs,Gs,As,B,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;then you play the B major scale from E to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,E,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;to derive the E Lydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,Fs,Gs,As,B,Cs,Ds,E,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nClearly, the parent scale of all Lydian scales are a fifth above the first tone of the Lydian scale.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;d want to form the Lydian scale, just use the notes of the major scale (which is the parent scale) that is a fifth above the root of the first tone of the Lydian scale you&#8217;d want to form.<\/p>\n<h3>The Parent Scale Of Mixolydian Scales<\/h3>\n<p>The parent scale of the Mixolydian scale is a fourth above its root.<\/p>\n<p>So, the parent scale of the C Mixolydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is just a fourth above C (and that&#8217;s F):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and this means that the C Mixolydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,Bb,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;is derived from playing the F major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,Bb,C,D,E,F,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;from C to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,C,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<em>&#8220;If That Is Correct&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can also form any other Mixolydian scale using the parent scale that is a fourth above the first tone of the Mixolydian scale you&#8217;d want to form.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the parent scale of the D Mixolydian scale is a fourth above D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and that&#8217;s G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nSo, using the G major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,Fs,G,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;you can form the D Mixolydian scale by playing the G major scale from D to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,D,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;and here&#8217;s the D Mixolydian scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,Fs,G,A,B,C,D,&amp;color=FF6699&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>Using the concept of parent scales, you can know the exact notes of a mode and play or memorize them easily and that&#8217;s exactly what I want you to do in this
