The Musicarta Modes Workbook

Musical modes are scales with a different order of whole-tone and semi-tone steps to those used in the modern Western major scale. They are known as scales for improvisation, and for generating intriguing chord sequences not available in the conventional major/minor key system.

Here is methodical, ‘lean’ approach to building a sound and productive knowledge of modes for the modern-styles keyboard player, packed with riffs which will expand your chord vocabulary and taught in a way that will enhance your rhythmic keyboard skills.

Musicarta teaching material uses a multi-pronged approach which caters for students with little or even no reading skills. The chords needed for a riff are always shown as keyboard diagrams, along with other intuitive shorthand ways of writing music down. (Professional written-out music manuscript is also presented.)

Best of all, the Modes Workbook comes with access to 26 parallel workbook web pages with audio performances of all the examples. MIDI files of all the examples in the workbook are included, plus the MidiPiano virtual keyboard to turns them into mini teaching videos. (MIDI files also play as basic audio in most computer media players.)
