Thank you for this episode! I loved how you built the levels to make improvising in Mixolydian so accessible! I shared this with my high school choir and they really enjoyed expanding their ears with the exercises. I would love a whole series of “Musicking with the Modes”!

Terrific!! I’m so excited you were able to use it in a high school choral setting! My plan IS to do a harmonizing/improvising episode like that in each tonality at some point, so stay tuned… 🙂
