Music Theory: Scales and Modes
from Attention to Detail: The Classical Music Listening Guide · host Jacob Joyce
In preparation for some upcoming breakdowns, we decided to devote an episode to one of the most important fundamentals of music theory, the scale. On this episode, we discuss what a scale actually is, how they can be shifted to create different modes, and explore some lesser-known scales used primarily by twentieth-century composers. This episode is a little more technical than our normal episodes, but have no fear! We still break everything down as we always do, and no prior knowledge is needed. www.attentiontodetailpod.com
