Music Theory

[Corey]

I'm in the Jazz theory class in my H.S.
Our final Exam is in about two weeks.
he won't tel us whats on it and I can't recall anything I have learned this year.
If anyone can possibley help me with:
[list][*]The 7 modes and what cords they cover.
[*]Tranposition (treble & bass clef).
[*]Formulas (1 3 5 7) for kinds of cords, like major minor dominant diminished 1/2 diminished.
[*]And the names of the 7 modes (I can't remember them).[/list]
Pease...
This is my ticket to summer school if I fail this.

[COLOR=limegreen]Translation please? I have no idea, so i'm no help. But i know someone (or somthing) that is. Welcome to my classes of ZEN INTERNET. Be one with the internet. It is your friend. if you go to [url]www.google.com,[/url] you can search for it. Google is the best search there is. I wish you luck, Young Grasshopper.[/COLOR]

First off, it is not right for your teacher to hold back that kind of information, if you really need help, go complain to the faculty. The teacher must prepare you for the final exam.

~Bou-G, baby~

P.S. -Guess who's back for the 5TH AND FINAL TIME!

well since i am all knowing with everything all you have to remember with the modes is: I Do Pot Leave Me Alone

ionion
dorian
lydian
mixolidian
aolian
locrain

that's for the modes i forgot which cords belong with what. if it is major you have almost all of the above. locrain doesn't go with anything.

[color=deeppink][size=1]That was my friend's advice :)[/color][/size]

I think there are seven modes.
My teacher told ud to remember it like this today:
I
Don't
Play
Like
My

Theres one that starts with a p...

[color=indigo]Well here are the modes and how to change them from Ionian (major)

Dorian: flat the 3rd and 7th notes of Ionian a half step.
Phrygian: flat the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 7th note in Ionian a half step.
Lydian: sharp the 4th note of Ionian a half step.
Mixolydian: flat the 7th note of Ionian a half step.
Aeolian (minor): flat the 3rd, 6th and 7th notes of Ionian a half step.
Locrian: flat the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th notes of Ionian a half step.

Here are the relative minor rules, I think you probably need this.

Every major scale has a relative minor in it...just take the sixth note in the scale, and that is the relative minor of that scale.

The relative minor of A major is F.
Relative minor for B is G.
Relative minor for C is A.
Relative minor for D is B.
Relative minor for E is C.
Relative minor for F is D.
Relative minor for G is E.

I am not sure what else you want to know. At least not the details. Just let me know. Maybe I can help ( Just not explaining transposition in its entirety, that would tke to long).[/color]

::Runs up and hugs Heaven's Cloud::
My god are you a lifesaver.
I know the basics of transposition I just need to know how many 1/2 steps down or up I need to move each note to from the key of C...
It would be helpful, very helpful, you'd save my as* if you could tell me how to do that from the keys of Bflat Eflat and A.
I squeezed a little info from the teach

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]C to Bb = down 1 step (ie: if you have a C it transposes to Bb, if you have an A it drops to a G)

C to Eb = up 1 and 1/2 steps (ie: if you have a C it transposes to Eb, if you have an A it raises to a C)

C to A = down 1 and 1/2 steps (ie: if you have a C it transposes to an A, if you have an A it drops to a Fsharp)

I hope that is what you need, just let me know it isn't[/color]

[Char!]

[color=teal][size=1]All I know about transposing is turning Bb to C (Up 2 half steps and add 2 sharps) and turning Bb to Eb (Up a perfect fifth and add one sharp).

That probably won't help you any on your test, but I had to prove I wasn't a complete idiot :)[/size][/color]
