EC-71742 Teach Yourself Scales & Modes • From East Coast            
A mode is a scale in which the tonal center has been displaced. It is simply playing a major scale in any given key and beginning and ending on the same note an octave apart which is not necessarily the root of the key. For instance if you play D to D in the key of C using the same accidental rules (as in this case no sharps or flats) it is a Dorian Mode. Dorian begins on the 2nd note in any major scale and finishes on the same note an octave apart. To comprehend then implement these improvisational scales is an important lesson and the melodic basis for many great jazz artists. We can construct a scale starting on any note, arrange the whole steps and half steps in the same manner and it will always sound like a major scale. In other words, it is the arrangement of the whole steps and half steps that give a scale its characteristic sound.
