Introduction

The objective is to develop melodic pattern recognition over different modes in various key signatures.  Listen to each pattern, a few notes at a time and try to reproduce what you hear on the piano.  You're training both your ears and fingers to find the intervals, listen for the melodic relative pitch movement of the pattern, the solution will be in the form of finger placement exercises. If you play the modal chord with your left hand and the melody with your right, you'll associate what you hear with the harmonic intervals referenced from the root of the exercise.

The exercises will progress in a systematic manor, to help improve your theoretical understanding and ear development. Each pattern will have a modal reference, and it's your job to reproduce the pattern on the piano. It's more difficult to find the first note, but once found, you're relative pitch will guide your fingers once the pattern is in your head. Listen to the pattern several times, then turn off the audio and try to recall what you hear in your head. You're also training your memory for pattern recognition.
