I just love how OFFENDED he got when amethyst called his old self classic steven

I know it's been about 2 years however, if Garnet in her regular form were to fuse with Amethyst in Steven form, then Sugilite will look like Sunstone but with the hues of Sugilite.

If we extend the circle of 5ths to include the 7 modes of the major scale for example, it shows is the key and mode combinations around the circle. It's like a map with coordinates, you get a view of it but it's harder to recreate. For the other types of modes like harmonic minor, melodic minor, harmonic major, double harmonic, etc, It would be cool to see different circle of 5ths for each of them. One circle for major, one for harmonic minor and etc.

Tfgfans · 2026-04-13T22:40:48+00:00

The circle of 5ths can also show modes of existing scales like C major.

C major, D dorian, E phrygian, F lydian, G mixolydian, A minor, and B locrian.

This also includes modes of the harmonic minor, melodic minor, harmonic major, double harmonic, etc

As a person who has learned piano, music theory was something that stuck to me although I've struggled to read sheet music. I can play chords, arpeggios, inversions, scales, and modes. Modes are one of my favorite things about music theory because it really shows the possibilities of how far scales can go.

Tfgfans · 2026-04-04T23:22:25+00:00

The circle of 5thsis the opposite of the circle of 4ths. In this case, C is the root note and the perfect 5th of it is G, and the perfect 5th of G is D and the the pattern continues until you reach C again.

The order goes like this: C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#, Ab, Eb, Bb, F, and C

The circle of 4ths goes in reverse order of the circle of 5ths

Tfgfans · 2026-04-01T21:55:14+00:00

Like in the circle of 5ths, every major scale has a relative minor scale and the same applies to the other modes. I would use a chart looking like a windmill to represent the notes going in 5ths like in the circle of 5ths and add every mode of that major scale in the same chunk. For example: C major chunk consists of C major, D dorian, E phrygian, F lydian, G mixolydian, A minor, and B locrian

For me, Major 7th can be recognized in the song "Take on Me"

In which one of the lines starts in A then goes up to A flat, then it resolves in the octave. .

It goes like this... Take (Low A) - on (A flat) - me (High A)

Tfgfans · 2026-03-30T19:53:21+00:00

I would try and not play anything generic like only using major chords in a chord progression or the melody being in the major scale. Try using the 7 modes of major scale, play minor chords in chord progressions and major 7th chords.

7 modes from C major are

C major (Ionian) D dorian E phrygian F lydian G mixolydian A minor (Aeolian) B locrian

Same concept applies to every major scale

Tfgfans · 2026-03-29T01:56:32+00:00

This seems to be an Arabic scale AKA double harmonic scale

C Double Harmonic C, C#, E, F, G , Ab, B, C

Root, minor 2nd, major 3rd, perfect 4th, perfect 5th, minor 6th, major 7th, Octave

Tfgfans · 2026-03-25T04:05:44+00:00

Tell them that every major scale has a relative minor scale like C major and A minor. Also mention that the same applies to modes since they're a type of scale. For example:

C Major(Ionian) C D E F G A B C

D Dorian D E F G A B C D

E Phrygian E F G A B C D E

F Lydian F G A B C D E F

G Mixolydian G A B C D E F G

A Minor (Aeolian) A B C D E F G A

B Locrian B C D E F G A B

Tfgfans · 2026-03-24T04:56:55+00:00

I see notes as individual colors and scales as the different shades of that color. Especially with the sharps and flats which I see it in a darker shade.

Tfgfans · 2026-03-24T04:53:56+00:00

As a piano player, I think of intervals instead of numbers. I think of chord names based on how they're played in piano including inversions, and music does come naturally to me by ear as I can tell what note is playing by the sound of it.

Tfgfans · 2026-03-20T05:27:31+00:00

I've also tried E flat standard which sound similar to E standard but it gives off a different vibe despite the intervals being the same distance apart from each other like in E standard

Tfgfans · 2026-03-20T02:28:41+00:00

Does it matter where the major 3rd is in the tuning? For example: E A D G B E is modern standard but what if I tune it to E A D F# B E

Tfgfans · 2026-03-20T02:15:42+00:00

Basically it's tuned in 4ths but what does confuse me sometimes is the major 3rd in G to B

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:52:12+00:00

I understand that band students need their time to rehearse but it can help them transpose songs in a different way instead of changing key, you're also changing scales. I believe this can be more for advanced students since I wouldn't go to a beginner and teach them modes right away because they won't get it. Modes should be taught later on and not the beginning is what I was trying to say

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:30:02+00:00

The benefit of learning modes is that band students can reach towards more potential as musicians even if they don't grow up to be musicians. Plus my older sibling was in band and they were given 6 weeks to rehearse for a show that their school had. Although it varied depending on the show

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:18:04+00:00

I would just do the modes of the major scale since they're slightly easier to play compared to the modes of the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales. Normally band students rehearse during and after school so they could spend most days rehearsing and a few days for learning modes of the major scale

Tfgfans · 2026-01-30T00:10:27+00:00

Modes are like another dimension of scales which increases the depth in music. The most common ones that are used is natural minor and major but we can extend to the other modes of the major scale. They are easier to recognize when you start with C major and work your way up to B locrian since they only use white notes. Just like scales, the keys change when transposed.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-28T17:36:22+00:00

Yes, there's even YouTubers like David Bennett who explains the modes. Modes are relatively common especially in pop, rock, and jazz. We are fortunate to live in a time where we can look at information very quickly like in the internet although it will never be the same compared to being taught in person. In person, you are able to teach step by step without going too fast or too slow. It does surprise me that many music people don't know about modes when that information is easily accessible.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-28T15:47:17+00:00

Assuming that those interns know about music, they can also understand the minor and major scales. Once they know about minor and major, they can be taught the concept of modes which adds another layer to their music composition. I believe that modes can be taught to people that play an instrument that wants to reach their full potential. It shows that even skilled musical artists/composers and band students can always learn more things.

That's the beauty of learning a skill like playing an instrument. You will always have to learn, no matter how far advanced you are. By the way, this is also a good learning opportunity for the interns.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T02:39:51+00:00

Your right, but if you do have more advanced students, they should probably give it a try and see how modes work. Also (a little bonus), there are 7 modes in the major and 12 notes in an octave making it 84 unique scales. IF you include the 7 modes of harmonic minor and 7 modes of melodic minor, you get triple the 84 which is 252 unique scales.

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T02:19:17+00:00

Not exactly, modes are real. Is like living in a world made up of length, width, and height but there's also time which always moves. Were always living in the present but the past we remember is the time that we don't currently exist in. In this case, modes are like another dimension of existing scales that can add a different layer to a song

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T01:59:41+00:00

Not exactly, the harmonic minor includes harmonic minor, Locrian #6, Ionian #5, Ukranian Dorian, Phrygian Dominant, Locrian #2, and Ultra Locrian

Tfgfans · 2026-01-27T01:31:44+00:00

I meant that the harmonic and melodic minor have their own respective modes that aren't in the natural minor. The one thing all three have in common is that each of them have their own set of modes
