Here's a two chorus line etude on Minority. Take notice of some of the diatonic phrases in the beginning. Remember that even simple ideas can really outline the chord if you end on 3rds and 7ths in the right way!

The Modes In Detail - Lydian

Content type: Video Upload
Sharp the 4! Chinese Translation for Chinese students 如果拿Lydian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Lydian音階多了升4音。 西城故事最有名的片段，用到Lydian。在Disney音樂中也很常用到。 如果是四級大調和弦，通常會用到Lydian(因為Major #11) 例如Gmajor-Cmajor, C是G的四級，所以聲響上面還是都以G調為基礎，所以這邊的C就可以用到聲四音（#F）

David Friedman
Content type: Audio Player
I just started improvising on one of my favorites; Up Jumped Spring, by F.H. Can you guess who that is? If not you'll have to do minimal research! :-) I thought it would be a nice change to start the melody in the bass.

This is being translated for Chinese students. 歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com，我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street。我之前講過如何交互演奏和弦以及和弦音，是一種可以練和弦配置的好方法，我喜歡用四分音符來練習，我覺得這是一種很好的方式來練習拍子（Time），因為你需要打和弦最上面的音也就是弦律，所以這也是很好練習聽力（Ears）的方式。我之前是在打和弦及和弦音的交互演奏，…

This is being translated for Chinese students. 歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com，我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street，我們之前講的是在曲子的前半部，都是關於調式音階（Modal），第二部分，是很好的和弦二級接五級（II-V）的練習。主要也是因為和聲以小三度轉調進行（minor thirds）。第一部分的過門段（bridge）的和聲進行為（～Music~）Dm-G7-Cmaj7，…

TOTM - Minority - Chord Etude
tonymiceli
Content type: Audio Player
Fill in the chords yourself :-). It will help you study the harmony. Write in all the upper partials. You can do it! Minority is a study of 9ths and 13ths, the upper parts of the chords. So this is a study in upper partials!
